TIRES
Tire selection can affect the stability of the ma-
chine. Use only tires supplied by UpRight unless
approved by the manufacturer in writing.
BATTERY CHARGING
Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep
sparks, flame and smoking materials away
from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working
with batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Rinse away
any spilled fluid thoroughly with clean water.
Always replace batteries with UpRight batter-
ies or manufacturer approved replacements
weighing 120 lbs. each.
Charge batteries as follows:
1. Check the batteries fluid level. If the electrolyte
level is lower than 3 /
8
in. (10 mm) above the
plates, add clean, distilled water only.
2. Verify charger voltage switch is set to the correct
voltage.
3. Connect extension cord (minimum 12 gauge
(1.5 mm) conductor and maximum 50 ft. (15 m)
in length) to charger plug located through the
opening in front of the chassis (Figure 7).
Connect extension cord to properly grounded
outlet of proper voltage and frequency.
3. The charger will turn on automatically.
4. When the batteries are fully charged, the charger
will turn off automatically .
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work
platform is being used in a warm, dry climate.
If electrolyte level is lower than 3/8 in. (10 mm)
above plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use
tap water it will shorten battery life.
Keep terminals and top of battery clean.
HYDRAULIC OIL
1. Check oil level at dipstick and/or sight gauge
inside engine compartment left hand side with the
platform fully lowered.
2. Lift flap located on top of chassis left side (see
figure 9).
3. Open filler / breather cap.
4. If necessary, fill to capacity with clean ISO 46
compatible hydraulic oil.
5. Replace cap.
LUBRICATION
Refer to service manual for lubrication chart and
guidelines.
