Section 6. Planned Maintenance and Lubrication
3. When charging batteries, the vent caps must be kept in place to
avoid electrolyte spray. Care must be taken to assure that vent caps
are open (clean) and functioning. The battery (or compartment)
cover(s) must be open to dissipate heat and gas.
IMPORTANT
If batteries discharge rapidly during normal operation
or do not charge to the correct specifications, contact
a qualified battery service technician to check the
battery for you. Do not add electrolyte or attempt to
service the battery.
Battery Removal
1. Check the designated service and charging area for fire protection,
and be sure all sources of ignition are cleared from the area.
Do
not smoke
. Be sure all previous noted equipment is in the area, in
good repair, and working properly. If the battery is to be serviced,
be sure there are provisions to flush and neutralize spillage and to
disperse (ventilate) fumes from gassing batteries on charge. And,
be sure there are provisions for handling electrolyte.
2. Before attempting to remove or charge a storage battery, the truck
should be positioned in the designated battery service area and
the parking brake applied so the truck cannot move.
3. Disconnect the battery connector.
4. If the battery to be handled
is not equipped with its own
cover, use a non-conductive
(insulating) material, e.g.,
plywood or heavy card-
board, before attaching the
lifting device.
5. Use an approved lifting
device with an insulated spreader bar, to remove and transport a
truck battery. Be sure the hoist and lifting chains are equipped with
safety hooks.
6. Remove the battery and move it to a safe storage location. Store
batteries either on an approved battery rack or on a wooden pallet.
WARNING
!
• Disconnect battery before
handling electrical components.

prevent damage.
