Information and instructions attached directly on the LiFTFORCE
LPX 2.0 Lithium Material Handling Battery system must always be
followed. These instructions contain basic information and guid-
ance to be noted and followed during operation and maintenance
and must be read by all personnel.
The GNB Lithium-ion battery system may not be operated without
precise knowledge of these Installation and Operating Instructions
or without strict adherence to all safety instructions. Knowledge

fundamental requirement to protect people from danger, to avoid
errors and to operate the system safely and fault-free.
The Installation and Operating Instructions must
be accessible to operating and maintenance personnel at all
times. Each person given the task of operating or maintaining the
system must have read and understood the instructions.
The health and safety information refers to the current directives
of the European Union. In other countries the relevant laws and

Quick Start Guide
• Check the battery housing, the cables and connectors
for damages.
• Switch the battery on by pressing the ON/ OFF button for
one second, observe the button.
• In normal operation the button flashes green once in 5
seconds. Flashing red color indicates a warning or failure
state. Please refer to the section Warning and Alarms in
this case.
• At the delivery state the battery SOC display should
indicate an SOC of 30—50%
• The battery must be fully charged prior to first usage.
The LiFTFORCE LPX 2.0 Lithium Material Handling Battery
communicates status to the vehicle via the CAN bus or to
the operator via an external GNB display.
Deep Discharge Protection
When charge level is low, the buzzer pulses steadily. The
battery must be charged immediately. The battery will turn
off if deeply discharged.
WARNING:
Deep discharge should be avoided at all costs as the sudden
cut off of the battery can lead to damage and hazards, such as
spontaneous stop of the vehicle.
The reset button can be pressed once to get the vehicle to the
charger. After that, the battery remains turned off in order to
avoid further damage. The vehicle now has to be towed to the
charge with auxiliary means.
ATTENTION:
If the battery has shut off due to a low discharge level, it must
be charged immediately. Long shelf times of discharged batter-
ies are to be avoided at all costs! (see Storage) Non-observance
can lead to battery damage.
