Crown Walkie Stackers WE/WS 2300: Battery Maintenance

Use this procedure, together with a little planning and preparation, to increase the lifespan and effectiveness of your batteries.

WHEN YOU INSTALL A BATTERY

Turn the truck OFF. Check that all controls are in neutral. Disconnect the battery. Remove the battery retainer.
Make certain you use the correct size and weight battery. Never operate a truck that has an underweight or undersized battery installed.
Never let anything metal touch the top of the cells. You could cause sparks or do damage to the battery. Use an insulator (such as plywood) when necessary.

USE A SPREADER BAR

Use an approved spreader bar to place a battery on, or remove it from a stand. Make sure you adjust the spreader bar hooks to fit the battery.

WHEN USING A ROLLER STAND

If you use a roller stand to install or remove a battery make sure the roller stand is the same height as the rollers in your truck's battery compartment. Also make sure the roller stand is at least as long as the battery.

AFTER INSTALLING YOUR BATTERY

Replace the battery retainer. Make certain the retainers on both sides of the truck are in place.
Be sure the block #77034 is bolted to the back of the battery half of the connector.
Connect the battery. Turn the truck ON and check truck operation.
