STORAGE AND RETURNING TO SERVICE
Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are
present within battery cells at all times. Do
not work with or charge battery in an area
where open flames (including gas furnace
or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes,
or any other sources of combustion are
present. Always provide ample ventilation
in rooms where batteries are being
charged. Failure to do so may result in
severe bodily injury and/or property
damage.
Battery electrolyte will stain and corrode
most surfaces. Immediately and
thoroughly clean any surface outside of the
battery that the battery electrolyte comes
in contact with. Failure to clean may result
in property damage.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF”
position, then remove the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the
center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to
prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and
negative cables at the batteries.
A battery is a live electrical source. It
cannot be disconnected or neutralized. Do
not drop any tool or conductive object onto
the battery. A conductive object that comes
in contact with the battery terminals will
initiate a short circuit of the battery. This
could cause the battery to explode
resulting in severe bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin eyes or clothing. Wear
rubber gloves and safety glasses while
servicing batteries. DO NOT INGEST! This
may result in severe bodily injury.
Storage
Thoroughly clean the batteries and battery compartment.
Refer to
Cleaning
in this section for information
regarding cleaning the batteries.
Check the electrolyte level and charge the batteries.
Refer to
Watering
in this section for information
regarding checking the electrolyte level.
Store the vehicle or batteries in a cool, dry, well ventilated
area.
If storing for more than one month, the batteries should
be charged as follows:
If the batteries are removed from the
vehicle, do not place them directly on the
ground, concrete or solid metal surface. It
is recommended to store them on a wooden
pallet or equivalent. Storing on the ground,
concrete or solid metal surface will cause
the batteries to discharge and may result
in premature failure of the batteries.
