battery system, follow the procedures below:
1. Clear area where battery will be placed, allow space for installation maneuvering.
2. Employ the appropriate lifting/handling method for the cells to be installed (as described in

from under the module.

come into contact with cell posts at any time. Allowing steel
lifting parts to contact cell terminals may results in a short.
WARNING
Allowing the cell/unit to drop quickly may damage the
internal cell components.
