Operation
Replacing and transporting the battery
Transportation must always be carried out
using lifting gear that is suitable in terms of its
size and load capacity, in conjunction with a
bridge piece (2).
– To avoid short circuits, use a rubber mat
to cover batteries with open terminals or
connectors.
– Using suitable lifting gear, hook the battery
(1) onto a bridge piece (2). Follow the
operating instructions for the lifting gear.
To prevent the battery tray being compressed,
the lifting gear must lift vertically.
– Slowly and using a vertical movement, lift
the battery out of the battery frame or insert
it into the battery frame. Ensure that there
is sufficient distance from the lift mast and
from the chassis of the truck. Avoid any
oscillating motions.
– Transport the battery to the intended
storage space.
CAUTION
Risk of damage!
The battery must be stored on a suitable beam
support or on suitable racking.
The battery must not be stored on a wooden beam
or any similar object.
– Set the battery down carefully.
– Do not place or allow slack lifting gear to fall
on the battery cells.
