Charging the battery
WARNING!
The gases produced during charging can cause explosions
The battery produces a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen (electrolytic gas) during
charging. Gassing is a chemical process. This gas mixture is highly explosive and
must not be ignited.
u
Switch the charging station and truck off first before connecting/disconnecting the
charging cable of the battery charging station to/from the battery connector.
u
The charger must be adapted to the battery in terms of voltage and charge
capacity.
u
Before charging, check all cables and plug connections for visible signs of
damage.
u
Ventilate the room in which the truck is being charged.
u
The battery cell surfaces must be exposed during charging to ensure adequate
ventilation.
u
Do not smoke and avoid naked flames when handling batteries.
u
Wherever an industrial truck is parked for charging there shall be no inflammable
material or lubricants capable of creating sparks within 2,5 m around the truck.
u
Fire protection equipment must be on hand.
u
Do not lay any metallic objects on battery.
u
It is essential to follow the safety regulations of the battery and charger station
manufacturers.
