Power Cable Cautions

!CAUTION - When routing the power cable:

•Route power cable away from the outside of the fork truck.

•Choose a mounting location so that the power cable does not extend outside the vehicle and that provides sufficient clearance so that the power cable (especially the dock connector end) is not pressed against part of the vehicle.

•Use the proper Strain Relief Cable Clamps (page 4-27)to secure cable.

•The power cable is less flexible in low temperature environments. Avoid sharp bends.

Regularly inspect power cable for damage, especially in low temperature environments. Contact Technical Assistance (page 9-1)for replacement cable options.

Power Cable Routing

Power cable with straight connector

Power cable with right-angle connector
