T RANSPORTING W ORK P LATFORM
By Forklift
NOTE: Forklifting is for transporting only.
Forklift from side of Chassis by lifting under the
Chassis Modules (Figure 5).
By Crane
Secure straps to Lifting Lugs only (Figure 5).
By Truck
1. Maneuver the work platform into transport posi-
tion and chock wheels.
2. Secure the work platform to the transport vehicle
with chains or straps of adequate load capacity
attached to the chassis tie down lugs (Figure 5)

NOTE: No normal (routine) maintenance on the
SL26/30N should require the platform to be
raised.
Battery Maintenance
Battery Inspection & Cleaning
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work plat-
form is being used in a warm, dry climate. If required,
add distilled water ONLY. Use of tap water with high
mineral content will shorten battery life.
The batteries should be inspected regularly for signs
of cracks in the cases, electrolyte leakage and corro-
sion of the terminals. Inspect cables for worn spots or
breaks in the insulation and for broken cable termi-
nals.
Clean the batteries when there are signs of corrosion
at the terminals or when electrolyte has overflowed
during charging. Use a baking soda solution to clean
the battery, taking care not to get the solution inside
the cells. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Clean
battery and cable contact surfaces to a bright metal
finish whenever a cable is removed.
C A U T I O N ! !
See specifications for weight of work platform
and be certain that forklift is of adequate capac-
ity to lift machine.
C A U T I O N ! !
Tie down lugs are not to be used to lift work
platform.
Overtightening of chains or straps through tie
down lugs may result in damage to work plat-
form.

D A N G E R ! !
Never perform service on the work platform
while the platform is elevated.
W A R N I N G ! !
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks,
flame, and smoking material away from bat-
tery(ies).
Always wear safety glasses when working with
batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly
rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.
C A U T I O N ! !
If battery water level is not maintained, batteries
will not fully charge, creating a low discharge
rate which will damage motor/pump unit and
void warranty.
