Still RX60 35-50, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 53 / 596

NOTE
The brake resistor (1) is installed differently
depending on the battery group. The build-up
of heat in the area around the brake resistor
is harmless. The safety valve (2) opens when
the battery is subjected to over pressure or
catches fire.
The nameplate is used to identify the lithium-
ion battery that is fitted.
–
Observe the instructions for the lithium-ion
battery used in your truck in the corre-
sponding operating instructions.
All lithium-ion batteries are essentially associ-
ated with the risk of a fire starting, of the
battery exploding and of the battery causing
chemical burns.
If the batteries are used properly, no hazard-
ous substances escape from the closed tray.
No contact with toxic substances is possible.
There is a risk of contact only in the event of
incorrect use (mechanical, thermal, electrical)
that leads to activation of the safety valve (2)
or to the housing cracking. As a result, the
electrolyte fluid may leak out, the electrode
material may react with moisture/water or
battery discharge/a fire/or an explosion can
occur, depending on the surrounding circum-
stances.
Touching live components can cause an elec-
tric shock, which can have thermal or paralys-
ing effects. The latter can cause ventricular
fibrillation, cardiac arrest or respiratory paraly-
sis, leading to death.
If a battery combusts, the resulting smoke or
vapours can cause irritation of the eyes, skin
and respiratory system.
Modifications and retrofitting
If the truck will be used for work that is not
listed in the directives or in these instructions,
convert or retrofit the truck for this purpose
as required. Any structural modification can
impair the handling and stability of the truck,
and can result in accidents.
