Page 11: Electrical Considerations
Electrostatic Build-up One common characteristic of forklifts is the possibility of producing high lev- els of electrostatic voltage. Static is created by the wheels as they move about the floor and can also be generated when an operator slides on or off of a vehi- cle's cloth-covered seat. -
Page 12: Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps
Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps The recommended method of reducing static buildup is to install ground con- tacting anti-static straps or conductors to the frame of the forklift (refer to Fig- ure 3). Contact your forklift parts provider for availability. Figure 3. Installing Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps It is recommended that more than one strap be installed on each vehicle to help eliminate or reduce the potential for static buildup while the vehicle is in motion. -

Page 14: Electrical System Connections
Electrical System Connections This section covers electrical connection to +12V, +24V, +36V and +48V sys- tems. Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the vehicle's positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain electrical isolation when installing the powered vehicle dock and any accessory equipment, to ensure safe and proper operation. -
Page 15: Connection To +24V, +36V And +48V Systems
Connection to +24V, +36V and +48V Systems Figure 5 illustrates a wiring diagram for +24, +36 and +48 volt systems. The use of a DC/DC converter is required to step down the battery voltage for use by the terminal. Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the vehicle's positive and negative battery terminals. - Page 16 Electrical Considerations NOTES ® Falcon 4400 Series Powered Vehicle Dock...
