WARNING! Do not put tools on the battery. Tools on the battery can cause a short circuit and possible damage or injury. The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury. If the electrolyte leaks, use water to flush the area. Make the acid neutral with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Acid in the eyes must be immediately flushed with water

WARNING! Do NOT put hands, arms, feet, or legs between the battery and a solid object. Batteries are very heavy and can cause an injury. The lift truck and battery stand MUST be on a level surface to remove the battery

Check the level of the electrolyte daily on a minimum of one cell. Add only distilled water if the cell is low. The correct level is halfway between the top of the plates and the bottom of the fill hole. To check and add water to the cells, the battery must be out of the battery compartment

Remove the battery as described in How to Change the Battery. Check the battery case, connector, and cables for damage, cracks, or breaks. See the battery dealer in your area to repair any damage. Keep the battery case and the battery compartment clean and painted. Leaks and corrosion from the battery can cause a malfunction in the electric controls of the lift truck

Use a water and soda solution to clean the battery and the battery compartment. Keep the top of the battery clean, dry, and free of corrosion

Check that the correct spacer is installed across the mast side of the battery compartment. The spacer must allow the battery to move not more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) toward the front or rear of the compartment

Check that the battery cannot move more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) across the width of the lift truck. If the battery can move more than the maximum amount, make sure the battery is the correct weight and the correct spacers are installed for that battery

See your Hyster lift truck dealer for the correct spacers. The correct battery is in Table 4 of Battery Maintenance at the end of this section

Check that each battery compartment panel fits correctly and is not bent

Inspect the welds on the mast and platform for cracks

Make sure the nuts and bolts are tightened

Inspect the channels for wear in the areas where the rollers travel

Inspect the rollers for wear or damage

Inspect the chain anchors and pins for cracks or damage

Check the operation of the brake

If the brake does not hold the lift truck on the grade, the brake needs to be checked by authorized service personnel

Make sure that the steering system operates smoothly and has good steering control
