Battery terminals should be tight, clean and free of
dirt and corrosion.

Battery Fluid Level
! DANGER
Batteries emit hydrogen and oxygen,
elements that can combine explosively.
DO NOT smoke or permit open flames or
sparks when checking batteries.
When working around batteries, ALWAYS
wear a face shield to avoid acid in the eyes.
If acid contacts eyes, flush immediately with
clear water and get medical attention.
Figure 7.7 - Battery Fluid Level
Remove the caps from the battery and visually
check to see that the battery fluid is 1/4” (6 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck inside each hole.
■
Hydraulic Oil Level
To check the hy drau lic oil level:
Completely lower the booms and ensure the
stabilisers are in the stowed position.
Figure 7.8 - Hydraulic Oil Level
The hydraulic oil level should be between the two
marks on the decal.
If necessary, add hydraulic oil at the filler cap (see
Figure7.9). See the “Specifications” chapter 3, for
type and grade of hydraulic oil.

Hydraulic Oil Leaks
! DANGER
Leaking hydraulic oil can cause burns, fires,
falls (slipping), cuts, and puncture wounds
(if under high pressure). Do not search for
leaks with your hand. Have a qualified trained
maintenance person repair all hydraulic fluid
leaks before you operate an MHP14AT.
Hydraulic oil leaks are easily visible and can show
up anyplace.
Visually inspect the entire machine for hydraulic oil.
Check the ground under the machine for leaked oil.
Care fully inspect the ends of the upper and lower
booms. Oil can run down inside of the booms and
drip out the end.
