Activities after installation of the battery
DANGER
If the battery is not locked correctly, the battery
can slide out of the truck, with potentially fatal
consequences!
– Before commissioning the truck, the battery
lock must be checked for correct operation and
secure locking.
– If your truck is equipped with a Euro battery
male connector, make sure that the voltage
index pin is in the correct position. The
set voltage can be read through a display
window (1). These trucks are operated with
a 48-volt nominal battery voltage.
NOTE
•
The battery must comply with the specifica-
tions on the nameplate regarding voltage
and weight. Compare the nameplates for
the truck and battery.
•
Gel batteries are subject to special char-
ging/maintenance/handling instructions.
The guidelines from the respective manu-
facturer must be observed.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
If you connect the battery male connector when
the truck is switched on (under load), an arc will be
produced. This can cause the contacts to erode,
which considerably shortens their service life.
– Do not connect the battery male connector when
the truck is switched on.
– Make sure that the truck is switched off before
connecting the battery male connector.
– Connect the battery male connector.
