Battery Servicing and Charging
Safety Precautions
WARNING
Keep all flames and lit cigarettes away from the
battery, especially during or soon after charging,
as the gases involved can produce an explosive
mixture.
WARNING
Never do anything that could cause an electric
spark on or near the battery.
WARNING
Never lay tools on top of the battery.
WARNING
Isolate electrical connections before working on
the battery. Use only insulated tools.
WARNING
Wear suitable protective clothing and eye
protection when working on the battery.
WARNING
Charge batteries only in the special area
allocated for charging of batteries. When
charging batteries, keep the vent plugs clean.
The battery charger area must have ventilation to
remove the explosive fumes. Open the battery
cover and secure in position during charging.
WARNING
The acid in the battery electrolyte can cause
injury if it is spilled. Make the acid neutral with a
solution of sodium bicarbonate (soda) and water.
WARNING
ADD NOTHING TO THE CELLS BUT PURE
(Deionised / distilled) WATER and do this often
enough to keep the separator guard always
covered (electrolyte visible). Top up electrolyte
with the battery in its fully charged condition.
WARNING
To comply with current legislation, the battery
container on this truck does not have any drain
holes. Be extra careful NOT to spill any water or
electrolyte into the battery container. Should any
spillage occur, this may be syphoned out.
WARNING
Ensure that battery vent plugs are replaced after
charging.
CAUTION
Never connect the Charger Connection (21) to the
Truck Connection (22). You can damage the
traction control circuit.
CAUTION
Ensure that the charger voltage is the correct
voltage for the battery.
CAUTION
Always switch off charger before disconnecting
battery.
Battery Charging
Do not “opportunity” charge the battery during the
shift as it will damage the cells causing premature
failure. If special ‘
Trakair’ batteries and chargers are
fitted, then cells can be charged during the shift.
However if the charge is more than 90 minutes then
a charge cycle will be consumed. Charging cycle
times should be completed in full to the specified
charging time. Failure to conform will result in
premature battery failure and invalidate any
manufacturer's warranty.
Care of Battery out of Service
If a battery is to be taken out of service for a time, or
if a new charged battery cannot be put into service
immediately, it should be given an equalising charge
and stored in a cool dry place. Disconnect
detachable connectors. Every month, check acid
levels and give an equalising charge.
If a truck is used at irregular intervals, the battery
should be given an equalising charge every month
and the battery disconnected from the truck during
idle periods.
