Maintenance
Warning
Never perform service while the platform is el-
evated.
Hydraulic Fluid
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located behind the left side
chassis door. Refer to Figure 6.
Figure 6 – Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
Note
Never add fluid if the platform is elevated.
Check Hydraulic Fluid
1. Make sure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Open the left side cowling door.
3. Check the fluid level on the gauge on the end of the
reservoir.
4. Add the appropriate fluid to bring the level to the FULL
mark. See “Specifications” on page 23.
Engine
Open the right side cowling door, remove the bolt and
swing out the engine tray. Visually inspect the engine
and its components with the engine off. Replace the bolt
after closing the engine tray.
Oil Level
Check the engine oil level before starting the engine
so the oil has drained to the pan. The proper oil level is
between the add and full marks on the dipstick.
The distance between the top and bottom dipstick marks
corresponds to about 1 liter (1 quart US). Add oil, if neces-
sary, before starting the engine.
Battery Maintenance
Warning
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame,
and smoking material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working near bat-
teries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse
away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the
machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
If electrolyte level is lower than 6 mm (1/4″) above the
plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water with
high mineral content, as it will shorten battery life.
Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
Warning
Always use manufacturer approved replacement
parts.
