Batteries
Permissible batteries
Traction batteries are required for the use of this machine (no
starter or device batteries). We recommend the use of pure
traction batteries. Only these batteries guarantee a long ser-
vice life.
Traction batteries are produced as open (wet-cell) batteries or
as maintenance-free (VRLA) batteries (Gel and AGM). The
machine must be adjusted according to each construction
type and manufacturer.
Each battery has a different service life and performance.
The machine must be programmed after the batteries have
been inserted or if the battery type and/or the manufacturer
have been changed as well as prior to starting the machine.
Incorrect adjustment may result in early battery failure.
Safety measures to be taken when handling the batteries
• Batteries contain acid. Always wear
safety goggles for the maintenance,
installation and removal of wet-cell
batteries.
• Rinse acid splashes in your eyes or
on your skin with plenty of clear wa-
ter.
Then immediately consult a doctor.
Wash your clothes with water.
• Explosive gas is generated during
battery charging. Keep away from
open fire or glowing embers.
• Do not smoke!
• Danger of acid burns!
• Attention! The battery poles are al-
ways energized. Therefore do not
deposit any objects on the batteries!
Attention:
Keep batteries clean and dry. Immediately
wipe off leaking acid or water (wet-cell bat-
teries).
Wear protective gloves for this purpose.
Attention:
Batteries may only be installed by service
agencies or experts approved by Di-
versey; they must be installed in compli-
ance with the connection diagram.
Installation and/or connection errors may
result in severe injury, explosion and major
damage to the machine and the environ-
ment.

Attention:
The operating instructions provided by the
battery manufacturer must also be ob-
served.
Attention:
Provide adequate ventilation when
charging the battery.
Attention:
Always disconnect the batteries from the
machine before starting maintenance
work.

Charging procedure with external battery charger
Each battery type and/or battery manufacturer requires differ-
ent charging characteristics.
Attention:
Incorrect charging characteristics or the
use of inappropriate chargers results in
early failure or the quick destruction of the
batteries.
Optionally available on-board chargers are adapted to the bat-
tery size and contain several charging characteristics which
are adjusted ex works or by a TASKI service technician for
recommended batteries. This regulation shall also apply for
the use of stationary (external) chargers.
Attention:
Persistent short-term use with subsequent
battery charging may cause long-term
damage to the batteries. Standard value:
At least approx. 20% of the available ca-
pacity should be used up before recharg-
ing the battery.
Attention:
In order to achieve their max. possible ser-
vice life, traction batteries must undergo
the complete charging cycle (12-16 hours)
twice a week.
