CAUTION
There is a risk of short circuit if the ca-
bles are damaged.
Do not crush the battery cable when
closing the battery cover.
– Ensure that the battery cable does
not come into contact with the battery
door.
– Close the battery door. When doing so, en-
sure that no cables are crushed between
the chassis and the battery door.
The battery door must be locked in place.
If the truck is fitted with a door contact switch
for the battery door (variant), the message
Close battery door
appears on the
display-operating unit. The truck will not move.
Equalising charging to preserve the
battery capacity
Equalising charges ensure that unevenly
charged battery cells are evenly charged
again. This preserves the service life of the
battery and the battery capacity.
An equalising charge should be carried out in
accordance with the battery manufacturer's in-
structions several times a month after the nor-
mal charging process.
NOTE
Depending on the battery charger used, the
equalising charge may not begin until 24
hours have elapsed. A period when no shifts
are running, such as the weekend, is therefore
ideal for performing the equalising charge.
