Low-maintenance battery check
As the forklift is used in a high temperature ambient, and the battery easily consumes water, you
should do pay attention to the liquid level when using the forklift. There is an aperture for adding
liquid in the cover of the battery. Please add enough water up to the UPPER LEVEL when the liquid
level is below the LOWER LEVEL and be sure the water is not so much that spill out to erode your
forklift.
Check and make sure the electrolyte is
between
"UPPER LEVEL" and
"LOWER LEVEL"
1: "UPPER LEVEL"
2: "LOWER LEVEL"
If the electrolyte is or lower than ―Lower
Level‖, please add distilled water.
When lacking of the electrolyte, please check whether the surface is damaged or leaky, or the
battery is conking out.
The indicator of the electric eye will be green when the capacity is normal, density of electrolyte
reaches the standard; it will be white when capacity is not enough, density of electrolyte does not
reach the standard; it will be red when the electrolyte is acute shortage, the shell should be carefully
examined whether there is rupture, leakage or battery failure.
The indicator of battery refers to the prompt on the battery label.
Low-maintenance battery maintenance
1)
Ensure that the battery electrolyte fluid level in the UPPER LEVEL;
2)
Disconnect negative earth wire to avoid discharging by additional current release;
3)
Keep the battery charged completely when the battery cannot be removed from the truck
;
4)
Make a general schedule, charge every 30-45 days if truck is not used during this period;
5)
When the battery electrolyte level is lower than LOWER LEVEL, please add distilled water to
UPPER LEVEL, install the vent-plug to original place and fix it.
Caution
Avoid overfill when adding distilled water. During battery recharging, spilled water may cause
corrosion.
2.4. Before recharging
When battery is recharging, the generated hydrogen is flammable and explosive gas, so pay
attention to the following item before operation:
·If charge to the battery still installed on the truck, one must disconnect ground cable.
