Safety - Section 22 8/11 OM2220

BATTERIES
A danger decal is located on the front exterior of the
battery box. It stresses the need to keep from making
any sparks near the battery. When another battery or
24VDC power source is used for auxiliary power, all
switches must be OFF before making any connections.
When connecting auxiliary power cables, positively
maintain correct polarity. Connect the positive (+) posts
together and then connect the negative (-) lead of the
auxiliary power cable to a good frame ground. Do not
connect to the negative posts of the truck battery
or near the battery box. This hookup completes the
circuit but minimizes the danger of sparks near the
batteries.
Sulfuric acid is corrosive and toxic. Use proper safety
gear, goggles, rubber gloves and a rubber apron when
handling and servicing batteries. If sulfuric acid is
swallowed, gets into your eyes or contacts your skin,
get proper medical help immediately.
This decal is located on the front exterior of the battery
box. It warns about the potential hazard of stored
energy remaining in the hydraulic system if the battery
disconnect switch is opened before the steering
accumulators have bled down completely.
This decal is placed on the battery box near the battery
disconnect switches to indicate that the battery system
(24VDC) is a negative (-) ground system.
A decal that outlines the correct battery cable removal
procedure is located on the front exterior of the battery
box.
CAPACITORS
This decal is located on the front of the contactor box
and on the inside of the left control cabinet door.
When any of the indicator lights are on, high voltage is
present throughout the propulsion and retarding
system. Extreme care should be exercised.
