WARNING
Risk of explosion
For newly charged batteries in
particular, be aware of the risk of
explosion in the gassing area.
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.
General
The battery must fill the installation space with
just a few millimetres of play. This will ensure
that the battery does not slip or tip over during
travel and the function of the battery lock will
be guaranteed.
If a lighter battery is used temporarily, the
weight difference must be compensated for
with a fixed ballast and the size difference
must be equalised with shims. In this case, the
specifications on the truck’s nameplate are to
be changed or added to.
These racking trucks are equipped with an
integrated battery discharge indicator that
is set for normal wet lead batteries (PzS) as
standard. If a different battery type is being
used, the battery discharge indicator must be
adapted by the authorised service personnel.
NOTE
The battery must comply with the specifica-
tions on the truck’s nameplate as regards
voltage and weight. Therefore, compare the
nameplates of the truck and battery.
Battery type and battery charger
Lead or gel batteries are used as traction
batteries. The various types are constructed
differently, so the appropriate battery chargers
must always be used.
