Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective clothing and eyewear when working with batteries.

Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

The battery pack must remain in upright position.

Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water or rain.

Component Damage Hazards

Do not use any battery charger greater than 48V to charge the batteries.

Both battery packs must be charged together.

Disconnect the battery pack plug before removing the battery pack.

Electrocution Hazards

Connect the battery charger to a grounded, AC 3-wire electrical outlet only.

Inspect daily for damaged cord, cables and wires. Replace damaged items before operating.

Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.

Explosion Hazards

Tip-over Hazard

Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit an explosive gas.

The battery pack cover must remain off during the entire charging cycle.

Do not contact the battery terminals or the cable clamps with tools that may cause sparks.

Do not use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 88 lbs / 40 kg. Each battery box including batteries must weigh a minimum of 452 lbs / 205 kg.
