5 Battery removal and installation

– Undo the spring elements of the battery panel and remove the battery panel.

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 removed.

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. The hooks must be attached to the eyes (6) of the battery in such a

way that they cannot fall onto the battery cells when the lifting gear is discharged.

– Attach the lifting gear to the attachment eyes (6) and lift out the battery.

When replacing a battery always use the same battery type. Extra weights must not

be removed and must remain in the same position.

– Installation is in the reverse order of operations. When reinstalling the battery, heed

the required installation position and make sure the battery is connected correctly.

After installing the battery again, check all cables and plug connections for visible

signs of damage.

Before starting the truck, the battery panel must be firmly closed. Close the battery

panel carefully and slowly. Do not reach between the battery panel and the chassis.
