Connecting the battery male
connector
–
Open the battery door.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
If the battery male connector is connected when the
key switch is switched on (under load), a jump spark
will be produced. This can lead to erosion at the
contacts, which considerably shortens the service life
of the contacts.
–
Do not connect the battery male connectors with
the key switch switched on.
–
Make sure that the key switch is switched off be-
fore connecting the battery male connector.
–
Ensure that the battery male connector (2)
and the plug connection (1) are dry, clean
and free of foreign objects.
–
Insert the battery male connector (2) fully
into the plug connection (1) on the truck.
The orange latch (3) must engage.
CAUTION
There is a risk of short circuit if the ca-
bles are damaged.
Do not crush the battery cable when
closing the battery door.
–
Ensure that the battery cable does
not come into contact with the battery
door.
NOTE
The appearance of a lithium-ion battery differs
from this illustration. The battery male connec-
tor also features additional contacts for com-
munication between the battery and the truck
control unit. However, the connection proce-
dure is the same.
–
