Note
Never add fluid if the platform is elevated.
Check Hydraulic Fluid

2. Visually check to make sure the fluid is within 6 mm
(¼″) of the top of the fill hole.

proper type. Replace the cap making sure it is tightly
in place. Refer to “Specifications” pages 16 to18.
Battery Maintenance
Warning
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame,
and smoking material away from the battery.
Always wear safety glasses when working near the
battery.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse
away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Always replace the battery with a manufacturer ap-
proved replacement.
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 (¼″) 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 top of the battery clean.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and
for complete service instructions.
Warning
Always use manufacturer approved replacement
parts.
Battery Charging

sooner if the battery has been discharged.
Warning
Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Do not charge the battery when the machine is near
a source of sparks or flames.
Permanent damage to the battery will result if the
battery is not immediately recharged after discharg-
ing.
Never disconnect the cables from the battery when
the charger is operating.
