GB Industrial Battery – Battery Installation Instructions:
Reach Trucks / Narrow Isle Trucks: These instructions apply to any forklift with a
battery that Rolls Out. See Also: What is required: ·
A hydraulic or electric pallet jack. ·
A block of wood to support the
battery. ·
A 5ft chain with hooks to lift the
battery. ·
A second forklift or hoist capable of
lifting the weight of the battery you are changing. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
To remove the old
battery: · Step 1 - Make sure that the battery is wide
enough to straddle both forks of the pallet jack. · Roll the battery out 1ft. so that the pallet jack can get
underneath. · Step 2 - Pick up the battery slightly and
back the battery out 75% so that the far end is still supported by the
forklift rollers. Do not back out too far, or the battery could fall off of
the last roller. · Step 3 - Place the block(s) under the near end
of the battery to support it and lower the battery. The block(s) should be
tall enough to keep the battery nearly level when fully lowered. · Step 4 - Drive the pallet jack forward as
far as possible. Lift the entire battery so that it is fully supported by the
pallet jack and above the forklift rollers in the compartment. Do not lift
too high or the battery will hit the top of the battery compartment. · Remove the block(s) and back up so that the battery is
completely clear of the forklift. · Lift the battery from the pallet jack and place on a pallet
for return. To install the new
battery: · Follow the instructions above in reverse order. · Make sure that the battery cables on the replacement battery
will be on the correct end when placing the battery on the pallet jack, and
are hanging over the end of the battery so that they will not be pinched
during installation. · Never leave the cables on top of the battery – there is not
enough clearance to retrieve the plug once the battery is fully installed,
and there is a greater risk of pinching the cables. · Always remember to put the retainer plate back in place before
driving away with the new battery so that the battery does not roll out. Tips: · Have a clear, level work area with adequate space for work and
height for lifting. · Batteries may roll in and out very easily, but usually weigh
between 1,000 and 3,500 pounds. · Always avoid pinch points – never place battery cables or any
part of your body in harms way. · Pinched cables can short and spark, causing the battery to
explode. · Never try to stop a falling battery - always be prepared to
step aside if the situation gets out of control.
