NOTE: Refer to the battery manufacturer for the proper
lifting strap and/or battery tools for U1 battery removal/
installation.
WARNING
U1 batteries in a single battery box MUST be posi-
tioned in the battery box as shown in FIGURE 1 for
proper battery cable connection to battery box
top.
Always use a battery lifting strap when lifting a
battery. It is the most convenient method and
assures that the battery acid will not spill (wet cell
batteries). It also helps to prolong the life of the
battery.
Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying
strap and/or hold down flanges directly into the
battery case. Batteries which interfere with the
battery box cannot be used for the these appli-
cations. Attempting to wedge a battery into a
battery box may damage the box and/or the
battery. Refer to DETAIL A in FIGURE 3.
