5 Removing and installing the battery

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

posed poles or cell connectors must be covered using rubber matting. Place the bat-

tery connector or the battery cable, respectively, in such a way that they will not catch

behind any truck protrusions when the battery is withdrawn.

When transporting batteries with the aid of a crane, ensure that the crane is of ade-

quate capacity (the battery weight is indicated on the battery identification plate at the

battery trough). The lifting gear must pull in a vertical direction to prevent damage to

the battery trough. The lifting gear hooks must be secured to the attachment points

(12) in such a way that the lifting gear, when slack, cannot collapse on the battery

cells.
