Battery Installation
3
1. Install the battery according to installation drawing.
Please leave at least 1000mm passageway as maintenance space.
2. Install Connectors
Before connection, clean battery terminals to metallic shining. Apply the Vaseline onto battery terminals to
prevent large resistance oxide; then install connectors. After installing all battery connectors, make sure all
positive
(
+/red
)
and negative
(
-/black
)
terminals are connected properly according to the installation
figures;
Then tighten the connecting screws in the torque of 12.4Nm
with an insulative moment spanner.
3. Measure Voltage
After installing the connectors, measure the terminal voltage of the whole battery bank, which should be
about the total of the cell voltage of series batteries. If they are inconsistent, please check the battery
polarity and recheck the battery connection in a proper torque.
4. Cell Number
Stick the self-adhesive labels of cell number and system polarity sign at prominent position of relevant cells.
The first cell at the positive connecting terminal should be marked as No.1 and the rest is marked by
analogy.
5. Install Battery Shield
After checking the voltage and arranging the cell numbers, put the shield at the top of the batteries.
6. Safety Warning
After completion of battery installation, danger warning should be posted at prominent position to prevent
safety accidents.
6.
Fix the bolts and nuts on the connection terminals of the battery to the specified torque; otherwise it may
cause sparks or damages to the terminals.
7.
Please clean the battery shell and cover with a damp cloth; to prevent static and spark, do not use a duster or
a dry cloth to clean the battery. It's prohibited to use organic solvent such as rubber solution or naphtha,
which will cause the battery shell cracking.
8.
In normal operation, there is no dissociative electrolyte attached on the shell since the battery gets fully
sealed. However, if the battery shell is damaged, dissociative vitriol is possible to leak. In case electrolyte
splashes onto eyes, skin or clothes, flush it with a large quantity of water. If it splashes into eyes, after
rinsing with water, please go to see a doctor promptly.
9.
Make sure the positive
(
+/red
)
and negative
(
-/black
)
terminals are connected properly, otherwise it will
cause fire or damages to the battery or charger.
10.
Please use the following protection equipments when you carry, install and maintain batteries.
1

Insulation instruments.
11.
Battery poles, terminals and accessories contain lead or lead compounds; lead and some other chemical
substances in battery are harmful to human body.
