E1 - REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY
When it is necessary to replace the battery, it is very important that a battery of the same capacity be used, in order to
guarantee the stability of the machine.
A traction battery is heavy, and so a mechanical lifting system should be used.
Precautions:- Keep the battery fully upright the lifting operations.
- Keep any slings away from the terminals in order to prevent short circuits.
- Be sure to position the battery correctly on the platform.
Where a new battery is being installed, re-charge it after 3 to 4 hours of use, and repeat this 3 to 5 times.

HANGING A WHEEL
FRONT AND REAR WHEEL
- Place the jack under the chassis (see Ref.A Fig E2/1 for front wheel, and Ref. B Fig E2/2 for rear wheel).
- Protect the chassis by placing a piece of wood between it and the jack.
- Raise the platform, and insert a safety block.
- Fully unscrew the wheel nuts and remove them.
- Release the wheel with a wriggling motion, and roll it off to one side.
- Slide the new wheel onto the hub.
- Replace the wheel nuts, and tighten them by hand. Grease them if necessary.
- Remove the safety block under the chassis, and lower the chassis with the jack.
- Tighten up the wheel nuts using a torque wrench (see section C, "Every 50 hours of operation", for the correct torque
to use).
