5.4.2
Servicing the driving batteries
Checking the acid level
The battery acid level must be checked
by the customer on a weekly basis and
distilled water must be topped up, if ne-
cessary; also refer to Section 5.3.1.
There must be no naked fla-
mes used in the vicinity when
handling batteries, particularly
when checking the acid level.
The fill level indicator (Fig. 23/6) on the
battery cells ensure that the electrolyte
level is maintained: The white dot must
be easily visible at the top. If this is not
the case, distilled water must be refilled.
Topping up the battery is completed via
the connection coupling, the aquamatic
plug (Fig. 23/7), which is then connec-
ted to the water filling device. This is not
part of the scope of delivery.
Details on the filling process are contai-
ned in the manual provided with the wa-
ter filling device.
Spilled battery acid must never
enter the sewage system in its
initial form, it must be neutrali-
zed beforehand: e.g. thinned
with plenty of water or soaked
up with granulate material.
Checking the acid density and
voltage of each cell
These points must be checked and cor-
rected at regular intervals within the
scope of Hako system maintenance by
an authorized service center.
Also refer to the information in
the supplementary sheet 88-
60-2556 "Information on dri-
ving batteries".
5.4.3 Disassembling the trough
battery
1. Park the machine on a level area of
floor.
Turn the key switch to position
0 and remove the key.
2. Open the side doors to the left and
right (Fig. 24/3).
3. Position yourself on the right-hand
side of the vehicle, take hold of the
seat console at the handle (Fig. 24/
2) and pivot up towards the front.
Pivot the seat console
(Fig. 24/1) open from the right-
hand side of the vehicle other-
wise your hands could be
crushed between the seat con-
sole and cab safety roof (if fit-
ted).
4. Disconnect the battery and vehicle
plug (Fig. 24/5+6).
When disassembling the
trough battery, use appropriate
lifting gear.
The battery may only be disas-
sembled by properly trained
personnel using lifting gear.
If the Hakomatic B 1050 W is
equipped with a cab safety
roof, lift the trough battery out
on the left-hand side of the
battery. The cab safety roof
has a recess (Fig. 24/4) for the
lifting gear rope.
5. Guide the lifting gear from the left to
the battery and hang the hooks in the
fitting holes on the battery trough
(Fig. 24/7).
