3.1 Loading batteries into the MU
• Check the overall technical condition of the unit and that its various parts are in a
perfect working order. Also check all connections of the components of the conveyor
system for any play. Never use a damaged unit.
• Verify that the battery that needs to be moved has been disconnected from all power
terminals.
• Adjust the safety latch (B) to a horizontal position so that it does not restrict the
transport of the battery to the unit.
• Place the entire unit on the same level opposite the battery that needs to be replaced.
Check the level between the top of the roller and the bottom of the battery. Also check
if the center of the unit is aligned with the center of the battery being transported.
• The transport drawbar (E) must be raised as far as possible.
• Use the crank (A) to drive the truck (C) to the battery hitch.
• Lower and secure the drawbar (E) to the battery.
• Use the crank (A) to start removing the battery from the truck compartment. During
this operation, make sure that the battery is level with the rollers (a minor adjustment
may be necessary, which should be done before removing the battery completely).
• When the battery is fully transferred, the battery safety lock (B) on the lower front part
of the unit must be in the vertical position to prevent the battery from sliding out of the
unit. When the battery is fully retracted, the rear locking mechanism (D) on the
transport arm and the rear end of the MU (C) will be locked, preventing the battery
from moving. Leave the battery bracket (E) on the battery until you need to move the
battery from the unit.
