Electrical SystemXR620/621/842/1045/1245/1254/1267/1534/2050/3034• Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially explosive gases. To avoidinjury or death when checking, testing, or charging batteries:– DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.– Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries.– Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.– Wear proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses.• Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid which is a poison thatcan cause severe chemical burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, orclothing. Use protective gear when handling batteries.• DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.• Wear eye protection when starting a vehicle with jump start cables. Improperjump start procedures can cause the battery to explode.• Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries areon charge) because the gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. Thebattery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially to the eyes.• NEVER jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let the battery thaw outbefore charging.• NEVER jump start the forklift directly at the starter solenoid. This could causethe vehicle to lurch forward or backward, resulting in injury or death.• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with another vehicle, ensure the twovehicles are not touching.• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each other near the battery.• Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled battery positive (+).• Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled vehicle ground. Make theconnection to the stalled vehicle ground LAST.• Connect jump start cable to stalled vehicle ground a safe distance from thebattery to PREVENT sparks near the battery.• Jump start only with a power source with the same voltage as the stalled forklift.• Jump start power source must have a negative-ground electrical system.• Electrolyte is an acid and cause injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and leadcompounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birthdefects or other reproductive harm.
