Jump Starting<br />
Jump start or replace the battery of the reach forklift when<br />
the battery is discharged to the point that it will not crank<br />
the starter.<br />
Warning<br />
Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and<br />
potentially explosive gases. To avoid death or serious<br />
injury when checking, testing, or charging batteries:<br />
• DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.<br />
• Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from<br />
batteries.<br />
• Provide ventilation for flammable vapors<br />
• Wear proper personal protective equipment,<br />
including safety glasses.<br />
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric<br />
acid, which is poison and can cause severe chemical<br />
burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin,<br />
or clothing. Use protective gear when handling<br />
batteries. DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle<br />
in any direction.<br />
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid<br />
suggestions:<br />
• External contact - Flush with water.<br />
• Eyes - Flush with water (including under the eyelids)<br />
for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention<br />
immediately. Flushing must begin immediately to<br />
avoid permanent eye tissue damage.<br />
• Internal contact - Drink large quantities of water<br />
or milk to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce<br />
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.<br />
Important - In case of internal contact, do not give<br />
fluids that induce vomiting.<br />
Warning<br />
Wear eye protection when starting a forklift<br />
with jump start cables. Improper jump<br />
start procedures could cause the battery to<br />
explode, which could result in death or serious injury.<br />
• Never jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode.<br />
Let the battery thaw out before charging.<br />
• NEVER jump start the forklift when travel select<br />
lever is in gear, which can cause the forklift to lurch<br />
forward or backward, and could result in death,<br />
serious personal injury, or property damage.<br />
• To avoid death or serious injury when jump starting<br />
with another vehicle, make sure the two (2) vehicles<br />
are not touching.<br />
• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each<br />
other.<br />
• Electrolyte is an acid and can cause serious injury if<br />
it contacts the skin or eyes.<br />
1. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper cable to<br />
the positive (+) post of the discharged battery.<br />
2. Connect the other end of the positive (+) jumper<br />
cable to the positive (+) post of the charged battery.<br />
3. Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper cable to<br />
the negative (-) post of the charged battery.<br />
4. Make the final jumper cable connection to the stalled<br />
forklift ground at the furthest point from the battery.<br />
5. Start the forklift. Refer to the Starting Forklift section<br />
in this manual.<br />
Caution<br />
Release the key immediately once the motor starts.<br />
If the motor does not start, DO NOT crank the starter<br />
motor continuously for more than 15 seconds. Failure<br />
to release the key after the motor has started or<br />
continuous cranking may damage the starter motor.<br />
NOTE: If the engine fails to start on the first try, wait until<br />
the engine and starter come to a complete stop before<br />
cranking the engine again.<br />
6. After the engine starts, let idle for 30 to 60 seconds.<br />
7. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order<br />
of their connection (i.e. negative cable ground<br />
connection first, etc.).<br />
