Good Battery Care Recommendations:
• Add approved water only - never add acid.
• Keep electrolyte levels proper.
• Keep Battery top clean and dry.
• Keep flame and metal away from battery top.
• Keep vent caps tightened.
• Cool before charging/operating battery above 115ºF.
• Use only approved correct voltage/current charger.
• Keep battery cover open while charging.
• If in doubt, call your local Landoll service technician.
Hydraulic System
WARNING
IMPORTANT
When maintenance is to be performed on the
hydraulic system, make sure the system hydraulic
pressure is relieved by:
• Moving the truck to a level area.
• Have no load on the forks.
• Completely lower the mast, or if the mast is the
object of repair, have blocks under the mast.
• Only qualified and experienced personnel
should perform maintenance and repair on
batteries.
• Make certain the charger being used matches
the voltage and amperage of the truck battery.
This voltage is listed on the truck serial plate.
• Before connecting or disconnecting batteries
to the charger, make sure the charger is OFF.
Attempts made to do this while the charger is
ON could result in serious injury to the
operator and damage could occur to the
charger, with sparks or electrical spikes.
• Keep sparks or open flame away from the
battery or the charging area.
BATTERY FUMES ARE EXPLOSIVE!
• NEVER smoke or have an open flame near the
battery. Gas formed during charging is
explosive and can cause injury. Consult the
charger manufacturer’s manual covering your
charger for operation and maintenance.
• The battery must meet size, weight and
voltage requirements of the truck.
Battery Removal: When removing the battery
move the truck to an area intended for battery
care, on a level floor.
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position and
remove the key.
• Disconnect battery and lock out the truck as
described in the Lock Out/Tag Out section
described on page 1-3.
• Never remove the battery partially from the
truck without a roller stand in place.
• Lower load completely. If battery is removed
with load raised, use hoist attached to mast
to protect against tip over.
• DO NOT allow any metallic object to come in
contact with the top of the battery. This may
cause a short circuit when removing or
transporting the battery. Use an insulator
(such as plywood) to cover the top of the
battery during removal.
Battery Installation:
• When installing the battery move truck to an
area intended for battery care.
• The load forks must be all the way down to
the floor.
• Turn key or toggle switch to OFF position and
put the key in a secure place.
• High pressure fluids are dangerous and can
puncture the skin and cause severe injury!
• Relieve all pressure from the hydraulic
system before attempting to work on it.
• Make sure all hydraulic lines are tight before
starting the system. Any fluid injected into
the skin under high pressure should be
considered a medical emergency despite a
normal appearance of the skin. Medical
attention should be given immediately.
