Caution!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected
correctly. A Clarke technician, a qualified electrician or the battery manufacturer should install batteries.
1. Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is
evident, contact the carrier that delivered them or the battery manufacturer to file a damage claim.
2. Turn the Key Switch (A) off and remove the key.
3. Tip the recovery tank to the side, locked position. Remove the battery cables from inside the battery compartment.
4. Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install four 6-volt batteries. Carefully lift the
batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in Figure 26. Secure the batteries as
close to the back of the machine as possible.
5. Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be removed easily for battery
service.
6. Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not overtighten the terminals or
they will be very difficult to remove for future service.
7. Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
8. Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Battery Pack Connector (17).

Specific Wet Cell Battery Information

Wet Cell Battery Specifications

• Use a combination of multiple 2-volt cell units to construct a 24-volt DC battery pack system.
• The battery pack capacity recommended by Clarke is a 238 AH @ 20 Hour Rate deep cycle battery system.
Note: The battery pack must fit the battery compartment as listed in the Technical Specifications.

Wet Cell Battery Charger Specifications

• Use a 24-volt DC output charger matching the DC battery pack voltage and the input AC line voltage supply being
used.
• When selecting a battery charger always follow the recommendation of the battery supplier to match the correct
charger DC output amperage to the amp/hour rating batteries being installed. This will prevent the battery pack from
being over or under charged.
• The recommended 238 AH battery should be matched to a 24V, 25 Amp output charger on machines using (4) 6V
batteries.
