5 Battery removal and installation

The truck must be parked on level ground. To prevent short circuits, batteries with

exposed terminals or connectors must be covered with a rubber mat. Place the

battery connector or the battery cable in such a way that they will not get caught on

the truck when the battery is withdrawn.

When transporting batteries using a crane, ensure that the crane is of adequate

capacity (the battery weight is indicated on the battery data plate on the battery

container). The lifting gear must exert a vertical pull so that the battery container is

not compressed. Attach the hooks to the attachment points (7) in such a way that the

lifting gear, when slack, cannot collapse on the battery cells.

– Expose the battery (see section 3).

– Pull out the battery plug (4) from the holder.

– Lift back the battery locking mechanism (8).

– Pull the battery (9) sideways onto the battery replacement trolley or lift the battery

carefully and slowly out of the truck using lifting gear.

Follow the instructions of the battery replacement station manufacturer!

Installation is the reverse order. When reinstalling the battery, note the proper

installation position and make sure the battery is connected correctly.

After installing the battery check all cables and plug connections for visible signs of

damage.

The battery must be securely fixed in the truck to avoid damage arising from

accidental movement. Every time the battery is replaced, prevent it from sliding by

flipping the battery locking mechanism (8) back into the recess.

The battery panel must be closed securely.
