![]() ![]() Now you want to connect the jumper cable, following this exact sequence:Ī. Turn off all accessories, including the headlamps and leave them off until the battery has been jump started.ĥ. Both should be in neutral and have their ignition switched off. Be careful when connecting a booster battery so that it doesn’t spark.Ĥ. But make sure the trucks aren’t touching each other. Bring the booster battery as close to the dead forklift as possible so that the jumper cables reach. Put the caps back on before jump starting your battery.ģ. If it’s low, add distilled water until it reaches the proper level. Check the fluid level of the dead battery. (Use a 12-volt battery X 1 for 12-volt models.) If you aren’t sure of your battery’s voltage or if it has a different ground, don’t try to jump start it because you could hurt yourself or damage your forklift’s electrical system, which may not be covered under warranty.Ģ. Only use a 12-volt negative ground battery to jump start your forklift. Keep in mind that jump starting a forklift battery can be potentially dangerous - both to the vehicle and to yourself - so follow these steps carefully. Here are steps to jump start a forklift battery using a fully charged booster battery in another truck. So if your forklift loses its charge, rather than towing it back to the garage, another option is so simply jump start it. Even extremely cold weather can sap the charge from a battery.įorklift batteries are too heavy to remove and replace with a fresh one. The truck may have been left parked with its lights on. The vehicle could have been used too long before being recharged. I'll keep you guys posted.A forklift battery can wear down for any number of reasons. Sounds like we should probably order new hoses from JLG just to be safe thou. We were planning on getting the hoses made at a local hose shop.then have them made shorter by 3/4" shorter to accommodate for stretching. I understand to pull the retaining bolt, then the clips from both sides and push the pin out.but it looks like it would be tight to pull the shives out the back of the machine once the pin is out.but I could be wrong. I't looks pretty tight to pull the shives off the back of the machine. The shives are ok, but probably should be replaced as they sustained some damage when the hoses came off. I think taking the boom off would be a last resort. The hoses are tangled in the chain, but not sure how bad.The wear pads are 50% and we would only do them if we had the boom off. I've brought the machine to another mechanic for a second opinion. I'm glad to hear some good news on this subject. I've had another fellow who's repaired them before (a framer by trade) and he makes the story sound much easier but I can't convince him to fix it.Ĭan someone help with advice? Is this really that big of a job? They want to remove the boom from the machine! This seems insane! The dealer admitted they have not repaired many of these and I think they are being a little hasty. ![]() They have 55 hours labour, and thousands of dollars in parts. The repair estimate came in at just shy of $15K!!!!!!!!! I almost had a heart attack! No big deal we though, probably a few thousand in repairs.called the JLG dealer and the proceeded to give us a quote. Turns out the fork tilt and aux hydraulic lines got tangled up in the chain and are pretty messed up. Shortly after hydraulic fluid started coming out in a rapid fashion so we boomed back and took a look. We've got a mid 2000's JCB/Gradall G9-43 telehandler and just a week ago we heard some funny noises while on our way to full boom. ![]()
