BATTERY MAINTENANCE
A. PREPARING TO CHARGE A BATTERY
1. Always turn off E-stop and key switch before work-
ing with the batteries.
2. Be sure the area around the stacker and the battery
is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
3. The battery terminals, connections and wiring
connections should be clean and free of corrosion.
When cleaning any of these components wear a face
shield or other suitable protective eyewear.
B. BATTERY CHARGING
Charging must be performed with the charger that is
provided with or prewired into the machine. During
charging, the temperature in the battery must not exceed
120 F. Charging simultaneously with truck operation
is not recommended. Plug the charger into a 115 volt
outlet. Charge until the battery gauge indicator lights
show fully charged (approximately 6-8 hours).
C. WARNINGS AND BATTERY INFORMA-
TION
Avoid use of open flame near batteries. At temperatures
around freezing point, battery capacity is reduced by
30%. The battery terminals, connections and wiring
should be clean and free of corrosion. When cleaning
any of these components, wear a face shield or other
suitable protective eyewear. Read, understand, and
folow all battery and battery manufacturer's specific
precautions while working with and/or charging bat-
teries.
D. BATTERY MAINTENANCE
To measure the voltage, use a digital voltmeter (DC) on
the battery poles. The truck must not have been in use
for the previous 30 minutes.
DANGER
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided. If it will not
fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of
an electric shock.
