solution to get the solution beneath the
connectors and removing grime from the
covers. Then rinse the battery with cool
water from a low pressure supply to
remove the soda and loosened dirt. If bat-
teries stay wet consistently, they may be
either overcharged or overfilled. This con-
dition should be investigated by a qualified
and experienced maintenance personnel
and corrected.
WARNING
Never smoke or bring flames near the bat-
tery. Gas formed during charging is highly
explosive and can cause serious injury.
Charging requirements will vary depend-
ing on use of truck. Monitor the batteries
discharge state with the discharge indica-
tor gage on the truck. Avoid using or stor-
ing the truck at full discharge, which
shortens battery life. However repeated
partial charging will also reduce battery
life. Using the truck until 80% discharged
and then fully charging the batteries to
100% charged will help ensure maximum
output for the life of the batteries.
Follow safety rules when placing a battery
on charge. Proceed as follows:
1.
Park truck at a charging station with
forks lowered and key switch off.
Make sure area is well ventilated and
not near any open flame or anything
that could cause a spark.
2.
Check the condition of the AC cord. If
there are any cuts in the cable, any
exposed wires, loose
p
lugs or con-
nectors, DO NOT attempt to charge
the batteries. Contact a supervisor or
appropriate personnel for repairs to
be made.
3.
Connect AC cord to AC power
source. The charger will cycle auto-
matically (charges the batteries,
depending on amount of charge
needed). Fully charged batteries will
read accordingly on the truck's bat-
tery discharge indicator gage.
4.
Once fully charged disconnect AC
plug, wind up or stow (as needed) the
AC plug and coiled cable to prevent
any damage.
BATTERY REMOVAL
(Follow Safety Rules at all times)
CAUTION
Only qualified and experienced personnel
should perform maintenance and repair on
batteries.
WARNING
Extreme care must be used when remov-
ing a battery from a lift truck. Contact
between battery terminals and metal com-
ponents of the truck or removal equipment
can cause a short circuit resulting in a bat-
tery explosion.
WARNING
Make certain the same type of batteries
are installed in the truck. Also make cer-
tain the batteries are of similar weight to
the original batteries to ensure compara-
ble performance. See nameplate for mini-
mum and maximum battery weights
.
CAUTION
Batteries are very heavy, use caution
when lifting.
1.
Use a non-conductive battery sling to
remove battery.
WARNING
Use of non-insulated hooks or chains may
cause a spark or explosion, if those hooks
or chains come in contact with the battery
terminals or posts.
1.
When lifting the battery out, do not
allow any metallic object to come in
contact with battery cells or posts.
2.
When disconnecting battery cables,
Use extreme caution to prevent tools
from shorting against terminals and
from positive and negative cables
from coming in contact with each
other.
