The following steps may help in cold weather conditions:

Always store lifter indoors and at room temperature.
Do not use older vacuum pads.
Empty all air filters to keep trapped water from freezing.
Make sure load is dry and free of frost or ice.
Warm battery to 70° F (21° C) and charge fully. Reinstall battery just before lifting. Note: Battery charge will not last as long in cold temperatures.
