Warnings

Batteries (if applicable)

Always install the batteries according to the relevant battery manufacturer’s instructions.

Batteries are powerful sources of energy and present a potential electrical shock and energy hazard. The energy hazard is always present, even if the batteries are not connected. Avoid short circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.

Batteries are heavy, awkward to handle and can cause personal injury. To prevent back injury, use correct lifting and bending techniques when moving batteries. If the batteries are too heavy to move, request assistance. Always comply with the relevant company rules or local regulations.

Remove or cover rings, wristwatch and other metal jewelry that might be exposed to battery terminals, before installing batteries.

Do not wear synthetic clothing when installing batteries.

Always use insulated tools.

Only use a clean soft damp cloth for cleaning the batteries. Do not use cleaning detergents or chemicals.

When unpacking the batteries inspect them carefully for leaks, corrosion and possible damage. Report any damage or other battery related problems immediately to your battery supplier.

Do not remove the factory-fitted transit insulation covers from the batteries until access to the battery terminals is required.

Do not place tools, loose cables or metal objects (such as interconnecting bars) on top of batteries.

Do not drop tools, loose cables or metal objects onto intercell connections or terminals of opposite polarity.

Only terminate cables and interconnecting bars after confirming that the termination will not create a short circuit.

Always tighten the battery terminal bolts according to the battery manufacturer’s specification. Failing to do so can cause erratic battery performance, possible damage to the battery, and/or personal injury.

Always ensure that any shrouding supplied with the batteries is correctly fitted to cable connectors.
