TIRES
Tire selection can affect the stability of the machine.
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 batteries
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 mm²) conductor and maximum 50 ft. (15 m) in
length) to charger plug located through the opening in
front of the chassis (see figure 7). Connect extension
cord to properly grounded outlet of proper voltage
and frequency.
4. The charger will turn on automatically.
5. 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/sight gauge inside
engine compartment right hand side with the platform
fully lowered.
2. Lift flap located on top of chassis right 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.
