contact your local dealer immediately.
¾DO NOT cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug. All Voyager lifts are
equipped with three-prong plugs to protect from shock hazard or electrocution. Any two-
prong electrical outlet must be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet accord-
ing to the National Electrical Code and local codes. It is the responsibility of the customer to
have the work done by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL WARNING - INSTALLATION AND
GROUNDING
¾Electrical equipment must be installed and maintained in accordance with National Electrical
Codes.
¾Check nameplate for voltage and cycle requirements.
¾In special locations i.e. bathrooms, showers or swimming pools a supplementary earth bond
must be connected at the mains supply socket. Where the Voyager Lift is supplied by a short
length of flex from an adjacent power point, the green yellow connection within the flex may
be deemed to constitute supplementary bonding. In some regions Local Authorities may
specify an additional supplementary earth to the track. This can be taken from any earth ter-
minal on the charger end stop.
Refer to a qualified electrician who knows the latest regulations in the installation of this equip-
ment.
ELECTRICAL WARNING - SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power cord from the charger rail stopper or switch of transformer at power supply,
and unplug the battery from the lift before inspecting, adjusting or servicing the equipment. Dis-
connect power to equipment if it is to be left unattended or out of service.

•Do not place or store the battery under direct sunlight or near a heat source
•Do not dispose of in fire
•Do not short the battery terminals
•Do not incinerate
•Flush with water if electrolyte (Acid) comes in contact with skin or eyes.
¾Batteries must be recycled, disposed of according to local law regulations. When returning

in used batteries may cause fire or explosion.
