Battery Maintenance 

Correct operation of the battery charger is important.  
Follow the instructions of the charger manufacturer. 
 
Never  fully  top  up  battery  cells  just  before  a  charge 
cycle. (Just check they are not ‘dry’) 
 
Never  permit  the  battery  to  discharge  below  the 
minimum value given by the battery manufacturer. 
 
Always  use  a  battery  charger  approved  by  the 
battery/truck manufacturer. 
 
Only use deionised / distilled water to top up cells.  
 
Never  permit  a  battery  to  stay  discharged  for  long 
periods. 
 
Always  fully  top  up  battery  cells  immediately  after 
charge cycle. 
 
The truck uses a 48V DC battery,  with various Amp-
Hour capacities to suit the truck’s duty cycle.  Always 
consult  the  truck’s  technical  specification  before 
attempting  to  fit  or  connect  a  battery  to  the  truck’s 
electrical  system.    It  is  also  important  to  check  the 
charger  specification  to  ensure  that  it  is  compatible 
with  the  battery  before  charging.    Read  the  charger 
handbook before connecting. 
 

Note:

 Battery  chargers should only  be  installed by a 

qualified electrician. 
 

Battery Removal 

 

 

Remove battery lid. 

 

 

Disconnect  Truck  Connector  (22)  from  Battery 
Connection (23) under lid. 

 

 

Lift seat pan. 

 

 

Lift battery retaining latch. 

 

 

Lift  battery  using  a  forklift  truck  of  suitable 
capacity 

Note:

 Only lift battery approx. 20mm (3/4") 

 

 

Withdraw battery from chassis. 

 

 

Lower battery to floor. 

 

 

Replacement  is  the  reverse  of  the  above 
procedure. 

 
When  charging  the  battery  in-situ,  the  Charger 
Connection  (21)  must  be  connected  to  the  Battery 
Connection (23). 

(See page 28).

 

 CAUTION 

Do  not  attempt  to  fit  Charger  Connection  (21),  to 
the Truck Connection (22), or serious damage will 
be done to the truck electronics. 

 
When replacing the battery onto the truck, the battery 
tank  must  be  carried  vertically  and  the  truck 
approached  squarely.    In  order  to  ensure  that  the 
battery  tank  is  held  securely  by  the  battery  latch, 
push  the  battery  firmly  up  to  the  bulkhead  before 
lowering.  The  battery  latch  will automatically  lift and 
then engage. 

 

 

Note: 

For  full  details  of  the  charging  and 

maintenance  of  the  battery  and  operation  and 
maintenance of the battery charger see the separate 
battery and charger handbooks.
