performed while wearing protective goggles and clothing to avoid bodily contact with the battery acid solution.
If clothing, skin or eyes accidentally come into contact with the electrolyte in battery, liberally flush the
affected parts with clean water and consult a doctor immediately. Any spilled electrolyte must be neutralized as soon as
possible.
FIRE PROTECTION
Smoking and any other sources of ignition are strictly prohibited near the battery. The battery should be stored and
charged at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any flammable substance. Batteries should be stored in a well ventilated
location with fire protection equipment.
MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY
1.
Keep all screw caps on the battery cells dry and clean. Battery posts and cable terminals should be tightened and
covered with clean dielectric grease. Terminal connections and battery posts should be covered with anti-slip
insulated covers.
2.
Cables connecting the cells should have good contact. Check nuts for loosening or slippage and tighten if
necessary.
3.
Keep the surface of the battery clean and dry.
4.
Over-charging or rapid discharging of the battery should be avoided. Forcibly charging or discharging the battery will
shorten its life.
5.
To prevent a short circuit or explosion, conductive objects (including metal tools) should not be placed on the battery.
6.
After battery is discharged, it should be recharged in a timely fashion. Maximum charging intervals should not
exceed 24 hours. On cold days, if the battery doesn’t take a charge, move it indoors and allow it to warm to room
temperature.
7.
If the battery will not be used for a long period of time, it should be fully charged prior to storage, and a full charge
should be reapplied monthly.
8.
If a cell malfunctions, the cause should be determined and the malfunctioning cell should immediately be repaired or
replaced.
9.
When charging batteries, ventilation equipment should be used to exhaust any potentially harmful or flammable
gases.
There is a risk of hydrogen explosion in poorly ventilated conditions.
10. The weight and dimension of the battery have a significant effect on the stability of the stacker. Any change of battery
type should be approved by manufacturer.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Scrap batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way and in accordance with the regulatory authorities.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Park the stacker on level ground. Cover electrodes with a rubber gasket to avoid a short circuit. When
removing the battery, adjust the battery cables to keep them from impeding the battery’s removal.
When lifting the battery with a hoist, confirm that the hoist has adequate capacity (battery weight is
shown on the stacker data plate). The hoist hook must be safe and reliable. The hoist hook must not contact the battery
posts.
Engage the brake and turn off the Emergency Stop Switch.
Disconnect the battery.
Remove the battery using a hoist or crane.
NOTE:
Installation procedure is the reverse of the above sequence.
After installing, check for damage on all cables and plugs. Battery posts must be covered by an
insulating cap for protection. When connecting the battery, the stacker must be turned completely off to avoid arcing.
Use caution when covering the battery case. Avoid putting fingers between the cover and case. Before
using the stacker, ensure the battery and cover are properly secured.
