Charging the battery
DANGER
Risk of explosion due to flammable gases!
During charging, the battery releases a mixture of
oxygen and hydrogen (oxyhydrogen gas). This gas
mixture is explosive and must not be ignited.
– Fully extend the battery together with the reach
carriage to the load side before charging the
battery in the truck. Doing so prevents any
gases produced when charging the battery from
building up in the truck
– Always ensure adequate ventilation in the
vicinity.
– Disconnect the battery male connector before
charging and only when the truck and battery
charger are switched off.
– The cab door (variant) must be open when
charging.
– Expose the surfaces of the battery cells.
– Do not place any metal objects on the battery.
CAUTION
Incorrect connection or operation
of the charging station or battery
charger may result in damage to
components!
– Follow the operating instructions
for the charging station or battery
charger and for the battery.
