2.4.1 WALL MOUNT The chargers are designed for wall mounting. Refer to Table 1 above for your charger’s weight to determine the correct mounting hardware. The cabinets are built according to the number of charger modules required by your facility. Figure 2: Single and Triple Chargersbelow shows for a single module and multiple modules.
Figure 4: Rack Mount Figure 4 above shows a rack mount, also using Unistruts. Do NOT mount to walls with steel studs and drywall covering if the steel studs are not structurally rated. In Figures 3 and 4 above, the object next to the cabinet (called a “Pogo Stick”) is a spring-loaded cable support and retractor that keeps the cables off the floor.
2.6 INPUT WIRING The input wiring is a 3-wire delta configuration, no neutral, and a ground wire. The cabinet has a 1⅛ ” diameter to accept a ¾” conduit. See Figure 5: Wiring Panel. Figure 5: Wiring Panel Cabinet has a knock-out of 1⅛” diameter fitting on the bottom left of the cabinet (next to the output cables) to accommodate ¾”...
2.7 INSTALLATION This section discusses the installation procedures for wall-mounted and pedestal- mounted cabinets and charger modules, as well as pogo stick cable mounts and stack lights. 2.7.1 WALL MOUNT Based on the planning you performed in Section 2.4, you are now ready to begin installation.

To install the charger modules, remove the cover plate from the right side of the cabinet. You may insert modules in the cabinet in any of the three positions—there are no requirements for the order or position in which they are installed.
2.8 BATTERY CONNECTION Connect the charger to the battery by positioning the fork truck within the charging cable length, then grasp the connector handle and firmly insert the connector into the connector socket on the fork truck. See Figure 13: Charging Cable Connector below.
2.9 CHECKLIST Perform the following steps in order after you have completed the utility-to- charger wiring connections. At the charger: Lockout utility breaker. Confirm that utility breakers and wire gauge conform to requirements. Confirm that charger is securely attached to its supports. Confirm that utility cover plate is installed.
