always be between the lines on the dipstick —
never above the top line or below the bottom line.

HOURS
The HOURS gauge is basically an electric clock.
It accumulates time only when the engine is
running. The HOURS gauge cannot be reset. An
SR-qualified service technician uses it to tell
when it is time for the periodic maintenance listed
in the Maintenance Manual.
T
FUEL LEVEL (option)
LPG tanks have two fuel gauges (1) (2) on top.
One measures correctly when the tank is
standing on end (VERTICAL) the other
measures correctly when the tank is laying down
(HORIZONTAL). Both read in fractions-of-a-full-
tank. SR tanks are mounted horizontally.
Therefore, you should read the HORIZONTAL
scale (2).
T
HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
The hydraulic-oil level gauge is on the side of
the hydraulic oil tank. It shows the actual level of
oil inside the tank. Read it only when the platform
is completely down. Otherwise, the lift cylinders
become large reservoirs for hydraulic oil and the
oil level in the tank will be low. The oil level
should be within
± 0.25 inches (± 6.4 mm) of the
line.
T
BUBBLE LEVEL (outrigger machines only)
A bubble level is located on the platform side rail,
below the platform-control box. Watch the bubble
level while you set the outriggers. Lower the
outriggers, one at a time, just enough to center
the bubble in the circle on top of the gauge.
When the bubble is centered the platform is level
and can safely be raised.
T
COOLANT
The engine coolant reservoir is on the front of the
step weldment. When the engine is at operating
temperature the coolant should be at the HOT
line. When the engine is cold there should be
about one inch (2.54 cm) of coolant in the bottom
of the reservoir.
