D Battery - Servicing, recharging, replacement
1 Safety regulations governing the
handling of lead-acid batteries
Maintenance personnel:
Recharging, servicing and replacing of
batteries must only be performed by
qualified personnel. The instructions
contained in this operating manual, and the
instructions as prepared by the battery
supplier must be observed, when
performing the above operations.
F
Metal watch bracelets, bracelets and
necklaces must not be worn when handling
batteries!
Fire protection measures:
Smoking and open flames are not permitted
when handling batteries. There must be no
flammable substances within at least 2.5
metres and no equipment capable of
creating sparks (e.g. machine tools) within
at least a 1 metre radius of the truck when
it is parked for battery recharging. It is
forbidden to operate devices with a high
surface temperature (e.g. soldering irons,
heater blowers, etc.).
Place the charger only on a solid and
secure surface.
M
The surface must not consist of flammable
material.
F
Charging batteries leads to the generation
of explosive gases. Sufficient ventilation
must be provided during charging and at
least for one hour after charging has been
completed.
The room must be ventilated. Check the
ventilation system each time before you
charge. Fire fighting equipment must be
held ready.
M
Parts that can be sucked in due to the
suction of the ventilation fans must not be
stored in the vicinity of the battery charger.
Clogged ventilation slits cause overheating
and fire hazard.
F
Do not use water to cool overheated battery
chargers.
Battery servicing:
The battery cell screw caps must be kept
dry and clean. Terminals and cable shoes
must be clean, lightly greased with pole
grease and must be securely tightened.
F
Batteries contain dissolved acid, which is
toxic and caustic. For this reason protective
clothing and goggles must be worn
whenever work is undertaken on batteries.
Avoid physical contact with battery acid.
If clothing, skin or eyes accidentally come
into contact with battery acid, liberally rinse
the affected parts with clean water. If it has
come into contact with the skin or eyes,
seek medical attention. Spilled battery acid
should be neutralised immediately with
plenty of water.
