CAUTION
Potential for damage to the battery male connector!
If the battery male connector is disconnected while
the truck is switched on (under load), an arc will be
produced. This can lead to erosion at the contacts,
which considerably shortens the service life of the
contacts.
–
Switch off the truck before the battery male con-
nector is disconnected.
–
Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while the truck is switched on, except in an emer-
gency.
