Batteries
Permissible batteries
Traction batteries are required for the use of this machine (no
starter or device batteries). We recommend the use of pure
traction batteries. Only these batteries guarantee a long ser-
vice life.
Traction batteries are produced as maintenance-free (VRLA)
batteries (Gel). The machine must be adjusted according to
each construction type and manufacturer.
Each battery has a different service life and performance.
Attention:
Do not use different, old batteries with new
or defective batteries.
Attention:
Old and/or defective batteries must be dis-
posed of properly. See the information on
page 81
Safety measures to be taken when handling the batteries
• Batteries contain acid. Always wear
safety goggles for the maintenance,
installation and removal of wet-cell
batteries.
• Rinse acid splashes in your eyes or
on your skin with plenty of clear wa-
ter.
Then immediately consult a doctor.
Wash your clothes with water.
• Charging batteries creates a danger-
ous gas mixture. Keep away from
open fire or glowing embers.
• Do not smoke!
• Danger of acid burns!
• Attention! The battery poles are al-
ways energized. Therefore do not
deposit any objects on the batteries!
Attention:
Keep batteries clean and dry. Immediately
wipe off leaking acid or water (wet-cell bat-
teries).
Wear protective gloves for this purpose.
