Planned Maintenance and Lubrication

How to Get Maximum Battery Life
1. Follow normal battery maintenance procedures, re-charging before
80% discharged and with periodic equalizing charges.
2. Don’t add acid to a battery. Only a person trained and qualified to
do battery maintenance should determine if this is necessary.
3. Lift battery only with a correctly-constructed lifting device that will
not put pressure on the battery case.
4. Keep open flames, tools, and metal objects away from the top of
battery to prevent short circuits and explosions.
5. Do not overcharge.
6. Check the battery electrolyte level
after
each charging. Add water
if the top of the separator or plates are visible.
Do not overfill!
7.
Keep the battery clean and dry
. Wash down as needed.
8. Keep battery service records.
Battery Installation
1. Use only a lead-acid battery with the voltage and ampere-hour rating
specified for the truck. Use only the type of battery as indicated on
the truck nameplate.
2. When changing batteries on battery electric trucks, replacement
batteries must be of the service weight that falls within the mini-
mum/maximum range specified on truck nameplate.
3. Handle battery only with approved lifting device.
4. Install the battery correctly in the truck and secure it in position.
NOTICE
Some trucks are equipped with battery stops or blocks.
Others do not require them. If the truck being serviced
has battery stops or blocks, be sure none are missing
or damaged. Replace them as necessary. If they are
an adjustable type, be sure they are correctly adjusted
and tightened.
