READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING!
Only qualified personnel should work on this equipment!
Lock out all potential energy sources before attempting this installation. Make sure the
forks are fully lowered; turn off the unit and remove the key.
Warning!
! Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid and produce explosive gases. A battery explosion could result in loss of
eyesight or serious burns.
! Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame near batteries. Charge batteries in
locations which are clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Do not lay tools or anything
metallic on top of any battery. All repairs to a battery must be made by experienced
and qualified personnel.
! When working with batteries, remove personal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches. Batteries can produce enough energy to weld jewelry to
metal, causing a severe burn.
! Always have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing,
or eyes.
! Operating the battery with a low battery voltage can cause premature motor
contact failure.
! Do not expose the lift or charger to rain or adverse conditions.
! Replace defective cords or wires immediately.
! Check the battery’s water level frequently if this applies to your battery type.
! Make sure the battery charger is unplugged from 115vac source.
