Lifting Clamp
The jar cover on the Round Cell is designed with a lip for lifting
purposes. Lucent Technologies designed a special lifting clamp
specifically for grasping the cell. The clamp lifts the cell by the lip of the
jar cover in an action similar to that of ice tongs.
A conventional hoist (gantry) with a hook to engage the special clamp
may be used for installing Round Cells on battery stands
Caution
Do not lift the cell by the terminal posts or damage to the cell may
result.
Warning
• When lifting the Round Cell battery using the lifting clamp, center
the clamp over the battery. See Figure 6-1.
• To avoid injury and/or battery damage:
– When operating the hoist and clamp to position a battery, do
not bump or push on the battery. This may push the battery out
of the clamp.
– To move the battery, direct the travel of the battery in the
direction of the axis of the clamp.
– To position the battery, push on the clamp in the direction of
the axis of the clamp, or use a hoist to position battery.
