evated.

Figure 8 – 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 front 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 20.
Engine
Open the engine compartment doors on both sides of the
machine and visually inspect the engine and its compo-
nents with the engine off.
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 l (1 quart US). Add oil, if neces-
sary, before starting the engine.
Battery Maintenance
A 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.
Always replace batteries with Snorkel batteries or
manufacturer approved replacements weighing 26,3
kg (58 lbs) each.
Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the
machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
If electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8″) 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.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and
for complete service instructions.
