Battery Maintenance

27 Battery Maintenance

WHEN YOU INSTALL OR CHANGE BATTERIES

• Turn the truck OFF. Check that all controls are

in neutral.

• Make certain you use the correct size and weight battery.

Never operate a truck that has an underweight or

undersized battery installed.

• Never let anything metal touch the top of the cells. You

could cause sparks or do damage to the battery. Use an

insulator (such as plywood) when necessary.

• Use an approved spreader bar to place a battery in, or

remove it from, the battery compartment or a stand.

Make sure you adjust the spreader bar hooks to fit the

battery.

USING A ROLLER STAND

If you use a roller stand to install or remove a battery,

make sure the roller stand is the same height as the rollers

in the truck's battery compartment. Also make sure the

roller stand is at least as long as your battery.

AFTER INSTALLING YOUR BATTERY

• Replace the battery retainers. Make certain the retainers

on both sides of the truck are in place.

• Connect the battery. Turn the truck ON and check

truck operation.

Know the Hazards

Battery Maintenance 28

TRUCK BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS

Your truck battery produces fumes that can explode.

It also contains acid that could burn or disfigure you.

• Do not try to install, remove, charge or service your

truck battery unless you are trained and authorized.

• Never smoke or use an open flame around batteries.

• Your company should provide an area where it is safe

to work on batteries. Use that area for all battery work.

• Use protective equipment such as gloves, eye shields,

aprons, etc.

BATTERY RETAINERS MUST BE IN PLACE

The battery could slide out if all retainers are not in place.

Check that both retainers are installed before operating

your truck.

107

Batteries produce explosive gas.

Do not smoke, use open flame, or

create an arc or sparks near this

battery. Ventilate well in enclosed

areas and when charging.

Batteries contain Sulfuric Acid which

causes severe burns. Do not get in

eyes, on skin, or clothing. In case of

contact, flush immediately. Get medical

attention if your eyes are affected.
