Removing and installing the battery
– Open battery hood (see section 3).
f
Batteries with exposed terminals or connectors must be covered with a rubber mat to
prevent short-circuits. When changing the battery with the aid of a lifting gear ensure
that the lifting gear is of adequate capacity (the battery weight is indicated on the bat-
tery identification plate at the battery trough). The lifting gear is led through the open-
ing of the overhead guard and must pull in a vertical direction to prevent damage to
the battery trough. Lifting hooks must be applied in such a way to the battery lifting
eyes that, with the lifting gear slack, they will not drop on to the battery cells.
– Attach lifting gear to the battery trough
(9).
– Lift battery over the frame on the right
side and pull it to the side.
– Installation is in the reverse order.
f
When replacing batteries, ensure that a battery of the same type is fitted. After rein-
stallation of the battery, visually check all leads and connectors for damage. The cov-
ers must be securely locked.
f
During replacement/installation of the battery, pay attention that the battery is tight in
the battery box of the truck.
