Batteries
Permissible batteries
Traction batteries are required for the use of this machine (no
starter or device batteries). We recommend the use of pure
traction batteries. Only these batteries guarantee a long ser
-
vice life.
Traction batteries are produced as open (wet-cell) batteries or
as maintenance-free (VRLA) batteries (Gel and AGM). The
machine must be adjusted according to each construction
type and manufacturer.
Each battery has a different service life and performance.
The machine must be programmed after the batteries have
been inserted or if the battery type and/or the manufacturer
have been changed as well as prior to starting the machine.
Incorrect adjustment may result in early battery failure.
Safety measures to be taken when handling the batteries

Charging procedure with external battery charger
Each battery type and/or battery manufacturer requires differ
-
ent charging characteristics.
Optionally available on-board chargers are adapted to the bat
-
tery size and contain several charging characteristics which
are adjusted ex works or by a TASKI service technician for
recommended batteries. This regulation shall also apply for
the use of stationary (external) chargers.
• Batteries contain acid. Always wear
safety goggles for the maintenance,
installation and removal of wet-cell
batteries.
• Rinse acid splashes in your eyes or
on your skin with plenty of clear wa
-
ter.
Then immediately consult a doctor.
Wash your clothes with water.
• Explosive gas is generated during
battery charging. Keep away from
open fire or glowing embers.
• Do not smoke!
• Danger of acid burns!
• Attention! The battery poles are al
-
ways energized. Therefore do not
deposit any objects on the batteries!
Attention:
Keep batteries clean and dry. Immediately
wipe off leaking acid or water (wet-cell bat
-
teries).
Wear protective gloves for this purpose.
Attention:
Batteries may only be installed by service
agencies or experts approved by Di
-
versey; they must be installed in compli
-
ance with the connection diagram.
Installation and/or connection errors may
result in severe injury, explosion and major
damage to the machine and the environ
-
ment.
Attention:
The operating instructions provided by the
battery manufacturer must also be ob
-
served.
Attention:
Provide adequate ventilation when
charging the battery.
Attention:
Always disconnect the batteries from the
machine before starting maintenance
work.
Attention:
Incorrect charging characteristics or the
use of inappropriate chargers results in
early failure or the quick destruction of the
batteries.
Attention:
Persistent short-term use with subsequent
battery charging may cause long-term
damage to the batteries. Standard value:
At least approx. 20% of the available ca
-
pacity should be used up before recharg
-
ing the battery.
Attention:
In order to achieve their max. possible ser
-
vice life, traction batteries must undergo
the complete charging cycle (12-16 hours)
twice a week.
