Preparing the Cable Ends
Both large and smaller terminal rings are provided for your
selection and use in the following steps. A small (#10) terminal
ring should be crimped to the shield wire and then fastened to
the forklift chassis ground.
1 Strip 0.6 cm (.25 inch) of insulation from individual wires.
2 Crimp a terminal ring onto the white-green twisted pair
(negative) of wires.
3 Crimp one end of the fuse block on the red-black twisted pair
(positive).
4 Position short lengths of heat shrink tubing as indicated in the
illustration above.
Crimp a similar gauge wire or twisted pair of wires onto the
other end of the fuse block and then a terminal ring on the
other end of this wire (see the illustration in the previous
procedure).
5 Crimp the small terminal ring on the shield wire.
Connecting to the Forklift Battery
The next few pages show you the intended purpose of nuts, bolts,
and washers that are included in this kit if you will be connecting
the power cable directly to a forklift battery.
Additional hardware is not provided in this kit for connecting the
power cable to other forklift power sources. See the
manufacturer’s technical manual for the forklift if necessary.
Your forklift has either a side-mount battery with the terminals
on the side; or a top-mount battery with the terminals on the
top. Determine which battery is in your forklift and proceed with
the applicable instructions.
Connecting to Side-Mount Battery Terminals
Perform the following procedure to attach the forklift battery
cable to a side-mount battery terminal.
Note: All crimps should be checked to ensure the wire
is completely captured in the terminal ring or fuse
holder. Loose connections will fail.
