DANGER! TRUCK BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Your truck battery produces fumes that can explode. It also contains acid that could burn or disfigure you.

Do not try to install, remove, charge or service your truck battery unless you are trained and authorized.

Never smoke or use an open flame around batteries.

Your company should provide an area where it is safe to work on batteries. Use that area for all battery work.

Use protective equipment such as gloves, eye shields, aprons etc.

Turn the truck OFF. Check that all controls are in neutral. Disconnect the battery.

Make certain you use the correct size and weight battery. Never operate a truck that has an underweight or undersized battery installed.

Use a roller stand to install or remove a battery. Make sure the roller stand is the same height as the rollers in the truck's battery compartment. Also make sure the roller stand is at least as long as your battery.

Never let anything metal touch the top of the cells. You could cause sparks or do damage to the battery. Use an insulator (such as plywood) when necessary.
