General notes on handling batteries

WARNING!
Batteries can be hazardous
Batteries contain an acid solution which is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact
with battery acid at all times.
Dispose of used battery acid in accordance with regulations.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when working with batteries.
Do not let battery acid come into contact with skin, clothing or eyes. If necessary,
rinse with plenty of clean water.
In the event of physical damage (e.g. skin or eye contact with battery acid) call for
a doctor immediately.
Spilled battery acid should be neutralised immediately with plenty of water.
Only batteries with a sealed battery container may be used.
Follow national guidelines and legislation.
WARNING!
Unsuitable batteries that have not been approved by Jungheinrich for the truck
can be hazardous
The design, weight and dimensions of the battery have a considerable effect on the
operational safety of the truck, in particular its stability and capacity. The use of
unsuitable batteries that have not been approved by Jungheinrich for the truck can
lead to a deterioration of the braking system during energy recovery operations and
also cause considerable damage to the electrical control system. The use of batteries
that have not been approved by Jungheinrich can therefore affect the health and
safety of personnel.
Only manufacturer-approved batteries may be used on the truck.
Replacement of the battery equipment requires the manufacturer's agreement.
When replacing/installing the battery make sure the battery is securely located in
the battery compartment of the truck.
Do not use batteries that have not been approved by the manufacturer.
Park the truck securely before carrying out any work on the batteries ((see "Parking
the truck securely" on page 73)).
