Safety regulations governing the handling of lead-acid batteries
The truck must be parked and rendered safe, before any operations on batteries are
to be undertaken (refer to chapter E).
Servicing staff: Recharging, servicing and replacing of batteries must only be per-
formed by qualified personnel. The instructions contained in this operating manual,
and the instructions as prepared by the battery supplier and as available at the battery
recharging station must be observed, when performing the above operations.
Fire protection measures: Smoking and naked flames are not permitted when
handling batteries. No inflammable substances or spark-generating materials must
be present or stored within a distance of 2 meters of the truck parked for battery re-
charging. The location must be well ventilated and fire fighting equipment must be
kept ready.
Servicing of batteries: The battery cell screw caps must be kept dry and clean. Ter-
minals and cable shoes must be clean, lightly greased with pole grease and must be
securely tightened.
Disposal of the battery: Batteries must only be disposed of as stipulated in the na-
tional environmental protection regulations or waste disposal provisions. The manu-
facturer's specifications for the disposal must be heeded.
M
Before closing the battery hood, make sure that the battery cable cannot be dama-
ged.
F
Batteries contain dissolved acid, which is toxic and caustic. For this reason protective
clothing and goggles must be worn whenever work is undertaken on batteries. Avoid
physical contact with battery acid. If clothing, skin or eyes have accidentally come into
contact with battery acid, liberally flush the affected parts with clean water. Consult a
doctor, when skin or eyes have come into contact with battery acid. Spilled battery
acid must be immediately neutralized.

Battery type
The battery types correspond to IEC 254 / EN 60254.
Depending on use, the ETVC 16/20 can be equipped with different types of batteries.
The following table shows the capacity and battery types provided:
48 V - 4PzS - Battery
48 V - 5PzS - Battery
The battery weights can be seen on the battery identification plate. Batteries with non
insulated terminals must be covered with a non slip insulation mat.
F
When replacing or installing batteries, ensure that the battery is correctly secured in
the battery compartment of the truck. Battery weight and battery dimensions have a
considerable effect on the stability of the truck. Battery type changes are therefore
permitted only after obtaining approval from the manufacturer.
