BATTERY COMPARTMENT
SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
Batteries are heavy. Use care to avoid injury. Al-
ways use a battery roller stand or tray when trucks
are equipped with optional battery rollers or slide.
Always wear protective clothing and eye protection
when working with or near the battery.
The battery compartment is available in two sizes:
205 mm (8 in.) or 230 mm (9 in.).
Battery rollers may be installed in the floor of the battery
compartment. Gates are installed on both sides of the
battery to prevent movement on the rollers during oper-
ation. Spacers are available to secure batteries that fit
loosely in the battery compartment.
The battery compartment must be kept clean to ensure
proper operation and safety. Any fluids on or around
the battery is an indication that electrolyte is spilling or
leaking out. Leaking batteries must be repaired or re-
placed and the battery compartment must be cleaned.
WARNING
Never place tools or other objects on top of the bat-
tery.
Contact of objects between the battery posts can result
in personal injury and severe damage to the lift truck.
Neverallowtoolsorotherobjectstobeplacedontopof

regularly and filled to specifications if the level is too low.
NOTE: Battery water levels can be maintained without
removing the battery from the truck.
See Periodic Maintenance 8000 YRM 1009 for more
information on regularly scheduled battery mainte-
nance.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
Batteries are heavy. Use care to avoid injury. Al-
ways use a battery roller stand or tray when trucks
are equipped with optional battery rollers or slide.
WARNING
Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and gog-
gles when handling batteries and electrolyte.
Make sure the capacity of the crane and spreader bar
is greater than the weight of the battery. The weight
of the battery is normally shown on the battery case.
The maximum battery weight is shown on the lift truck
nameplate. The spreader bar must NOT be made of
metal, or it must have insulated straps. See Figure 2.
