Note
After turning the ignition key switch to the off ‘0’ position to stop the engine,
the engine control unit (ECU) remains active to save system data before it
switches off. For this reason, the power supply to the engine must not be
interrupted at the battery isolator switch or by removing the battery leads
until the ECU has switched off.
6.14.2 Removing the Battery
1. Park the truck in accordance with the
recommended parking procedure then
switch off the engine and all electrical
components.
2. Remove the large access panel (A)
from the right hand side of the truck
(pull out firmly at the top then lift up
and out) to gain access to the battery
(B).
3. Isolate the electrical system by turning
the isolator key (C) anticlockwise.
4. Remove the connector from the
negative black (-) battery terminal first,
then remove the connector from the
positive red (+) battery terminal.
5. Remove the battery bar (D) by first unscrewing the two M8 locknuts from the
battery rods (E) on. DO NOT allow the battery bar to come into contact with
the battery terminals.
6. Use the handles on top of the battery to lift it out.
CAUTION the battery weights 27.6kg.
6.14.3 Installing a new Battery
1. Compare the new battery with the used battery and ensure the new battery
has the same polarity and performance characteristics as the old battery
2. Check that the new battery is clean and dry and that the caps are secure.
3. Check that the new battery has a voltage above 12.40V. If not, charge the
battery or use another that has a voltage above 12.40V.
4. Ensure the two plastic terminal caps are still fitted at this stage.
5. Ensure the battery location on the truck is clean and dry, then insert the new
battery.
