Maintenance
CAUTION
To decide which type of battery to use, check the
battery characteristics provided in the "TECHNICAL
DATA" chapter.
DANGER
Danger to life!
Use a crane with a suitable lifting capaci-
ty for the weight of the battery. Lifting op-
erations must be performed by qualified
personnel. DO NOT stand within the
crane's radius of action or near the truck.
Do not stand in the danger area below
suspended loads. Use NON-METALLIC
slings. Make sure that the lifting capacity
of the slings is suitable for the weight of
the battery. The rope slings must be
pulled vertically. To prevent short cir-
cuits, it is recommended that batteries
with polar terminals or unprotected con-
nections be covered with a rubber mat.
– Attach the lifting device (5) correctly to the
battery (6) (see the user manual of the lift-
ing device). Insert the safety hooks of the
sling into the appropriate battery slots. The
entire sling must be suitably sized accord-
ing to the weight of the battery.
– Lift the battery using a hoist that is suitably
sized for the weight of the battery. Keep a
sufficient safety distance between the bat-
tery and the truck to avoid damage to the
truck. The hooks must be positioned so that
they cannot fall on the battery cells when
the lifting device is slackened.
– Replace the battery and refit it by following
the steps in reverse order.
CAUTION
When closing the battery hood, take care to correctly
position the cables of the battery male connector so
as not to damage them.
– Reinstall the battery hood removed earlier,
open the battery hood, turn the clasp down-
wards (3) until it reaches the (A) position,
then close the battery hood.
