Inspect
Check that the static strap is present and is in good
working condition before operating the lift truck.
Inspect the static strap for wear, cracks, tears, or
missing length. Inspect the strap for cleanliness
and clean if necessary with a mild, soapy detergent
if dirty or oily. Replace the strap as necessary. See
Replace.

Battery Connection
The battery cables supply power from the battery
terminals through the battery cable connectors and
then to the connections of the motor controllers and
main contactor in the truck.
INSPECT
Inspect the battery cables for cuts or damage to the
insulation. Inspect for abrasions of the insulation or
burned insulation or connector ends. Inspect the
battery connectors for worn or damaged cable ends
or cracked housings. Overheated cables or heat af-
fected terminal lug ends are signs of cable damage,
loose connections, or improper battery charging or
maintenance. Replace any damaged cables and re-
pair or replace damaged battery connectors.
REPLACING CABLES
WARNING
Making repairs with the battery connected can
cause a short circuit. Disconnect the battery by
separating the battery to truck connectors before
inspecting or repairing the electrical system.
Be careful using tools near the battery terminals.
Contact between terminals can cause a short cir-
cuit. High current flow during a short circuit can
result in injury or parts damage.
NOTE: Never lubricate the battery terminal con-
nector with grease or other lubricants. The battery
SB connector is designed to self-clean when it is
disconnected and reconnected.
