Refer to step 2 on page 17 for similar procedure.

4.Using a rated lifting device, load batteries onto SECOND shelf rails in accordance with your wiring diagram. Take note of where each numbered battery should be placed, and the proper positioning of its positive and negative terminals.

Refer to step 3 on page 18 for similar procedure.

5.Make all specified SECOND shelf battery-to-battery and row-to-row connections. Refer to “Wiring the batteries” on page 18.

Addressing the top shelf

The TOP shelf is addressed only after second shelf batteries have been loaded and wired.

1.Position Battery Rails on TOP shelf Cross Bars according to spacing requirements obtained from the Rail Spacing Matrix on page 17. Measure with ruler or tape to ensure proper spacing, and later make adjustments as necessary.

Refer to step 1 on page 17 for similar procedure.

2.Screw Battery Rails into TOP shelf Cross Bars using 1/4-20 x 3/4” flathead screws and 1/4-20 spring nuts. Each battery rail requires two screws and two spring nuts (one screw and spring nut is applied to each cross bar).

Refer to step 2 on page 17 for similar procedure.
