CAUTION
Potential for damage to the battery male connector!
If the battery male connector is disconnected while
the truck is switched on (under load), an arc will be
produced. This can lead to erosion at the contacts,
which considerably shortens the service life of the
contacts.
– Switch off the truck before the battery male con-
nector is disconnected.
– Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while the truck is switched on, except in an emer-
gency.
– Park the truck securely.
– Ensure that work areas are adequately ven-
tilated.
– Make sure that the external ventilation gaps
on the truck are unobstructed and are not
blocked.
– Fully open any protective structures (e.g.
fabric-covered cab).
– Open the battery door completely.
– Disconnect the battery male connector.
– Do not place any metal objects or tools on
the battery.
– Keep away from naked flames. Do not
smoke.
– Check the battery cables for damage. If
necessary, have the battery cables re-
placed by the authorised service centre.
– Connect the battery male connector to the
plug on the battery charger.
– Adjust the settings of the battery charger to
the battery capacity of the lead-acid battery.
– Start the battery charger.
NOTE
Observe the information in the operating in-
structions for the battery and the battery
charger.
