General
NOTE
•
The FS X33 trucks are operated with a 48
Volt battery nominal voltage.
• The battery must comply with the specifica-
tions on the nameplate as regards voltage
and weight. Compare the nameplates for
the truck and battery. If a lighter battery
(<1000kg) is used temporarily, the weight
difference must be compensated for with a
fixed ballast and the size difference must be
equalised with shims.
•
This truck is designed for operation with
a custom battery. For safety reasons, the
truck should be operated exclusively with
this battery type. For maintenance work and
repairs, another 48V battery can be used.
WARNING
Risk of explosion
The openings in the gassing area of the battery
must not be covered or fully closed. An unrestricted
air supply is required to prevent the formation of
potentially explosive gas mixtures.
Under no circumstances should openings be made
in the battery’s gassing area, which could allow the
gas created during charging to enter the area of the
driver’s compartment.
Battery commissioning
If you have ordered your truck without a battery
or if the battery has to be transported over a
long distance (e.g. overseas) and is dry and
pre-charged upon delivery as a result, a proper
commissioning must be performed. Please
follow the information and guidelines from the
battery manufacturer precisely. If the battery
was obtained separately from the truck, the
nominal voltage, the required minimum weight
and the attached battery male connector must
be checked particularly carefully. A check
must be performed to determine whether the
battery discharging characteristic curve has
been correctly set. This can only be performed
by authorised service personnel
