Preserving operational readiness
Checking the battery interlock and
the battery door interlock
DANGER
A malfunction of the battery interlock and the battery
door interlock can cause the battery door to open
and the battery could possibly fall out when the
truck is tilted or during sharp deceleration. If the
battery falls out, there is a danger of being crushed
to death.
– If the interlock is deformed, damaged or difficult
to move, inform the authorised service centre
immediately. Do not operate the truck.
– Check that the interlocks function correctly.
– The interlocks must be greased and must move
easily.
– Always check the interlock after an accident.
NOTE
The interval for greasing is influenced signi-
ficantly by the application conditions and the
environmental conditions affecting the truck.
Visual inspections and function checking of
the interlock must be carried out as required
and after every 1000 hours. Grease all moving
parts of the interlock as necessary.
– Open the battery door (1).
– Check that the door lock (2) and the battery
lock (4) move easily and that they are not
deformed or damaged.
– Check that the indexing bolt (3) on the door
lock is seated correctly and that it is not
deformed or damaged.
– Grease the mechanisms of the interlocks.
– Close the battery door again.
