Crown Narrow-Aisle Reach Trucks RD 5700: Battery Maintenance

WHEN YOU INSTALL OR CHANGE BATTERIES

• Turn the truck OFF. Disconnect the battery. Check that all controls are in neutral.

• Make certain you use the correct size and weight battery. Never operate a truck that has an underweight or undersized battery installed.

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

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

AFTER INSTALLING YOUR BATTERY

• Replace the battery retainer. Make certain the retainers on both sides of the truck are in place.

• Check that the battery retainers are properly adjusted to prevent the battery from shifting.

• Connect the battery. Turn the truck ON and check truck operation.
