Installing the Batteries
Before battery installation, first install the battery cable by per-
forming the steps in Paragraph 3.8.2, then install the optional
heater pad (see Figure 13), then install the batteries, per com-
pany practice or per the steps below. The total battery weight
cannot exceed 250 pounds. See Figure 13 and Table 1 for bat-
tery compartment dimensions.
1.
Select batteries.
Select the appropriate size and type of
batteries per company practice and per the equipment re-
quirements.
2.
Install the optional battery spacer block.
To help insure a
snug battery fit, install the optional battery spacer block if
the batteries are small enough to accommodate the instal-
lation of all the batteries plus the spacer block. The left
wall tie-down railing can be used to adjust the installation
depth of this spacer block. Orient the block as shown in
Figure 13, and insert the left side flange of the block into
the left-wall tie-down railing, per the battery depth. Se-
cure the right side of the block to the holes located in the
compartment divider wall.
3.
Verify the optional battery heater pad is installed.
If using
the optional battery heater pad, install it per Step 6 in
Paragraph 3.8.2.
4.
Place batteries in the battery compartment.
Gently place
the batteries in the battery compartment, on top of the op-
tional installed heater pad. Press the batteries up against
the left and rear compartment walls (or the battery spacer
block). Do not place a battery on the heater pad
cable
or
connector
, to avoid possible damage.
5.
Jumper the batteries together.
Jumper the batteries to-
gether, per company practice.
6.
Connect battery cable connectors to batteries.
In the bat-
tery compartment, locate Connectors A and B of the
battery cable (see Figure 12) and connect them to the
proper battery terminals, per company practice.
7.
Make battery compartment temperature sensor connec-
tions.
Locate the battery compartment’s temperature
sensor cable (install it if not pre-installed with the batter-
ies) and connect it to Connector D of the battery cable.
8.
Connect DC leads to screw terminals of battery charger
(user provided).
Locate the battery cable’s DC leads (G
and H in Figure 12) and connect them to the screw termi-
nals of the battery charger’s DC screw terminal strip, per
company practice. Connect the red positive lead to the +V
screw terminal, and connect the black negative lead to the
-V terminal.
