Snorkel AB46J - Manual (Page 41)

■ Battery fluid level
Batteries emit hydrogen and oxygen, elements
that can combine explosively.
DO NOT smoke or permit open flames or
sparks when checking batteries.
Remove the caps from each battery, including the
emergency power 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
To check the hydraulic oil level:
Completely lower and completely retract the
booms.
The hydraulic oil temperature (1) should be less
than 200°F (93°C).
The hydraulic oil level should be between the two
marks (2) - (3) on the sight glass gauge.
If necessary, add hydraulic oil at the filler cap (4).
See the “specifications” chapter 3, for type and
grade of hydraulic oil.
■ Hydraulic oil leaks
Leaking hydraulic oil can cause burns, fires,
falls (slipping), cuts, and puncture wounds (if
under high pressure). Have a qualified trained
maintenance person repair all hydraulic fluid
leaks before you operate an AB46J.
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. Carefully inspect the
ends of the base and inner booms. Oil can run
down the inside of the booms and drip out the
ends.
■ Tires
AB46J tires are foam filled. Punctures of the type
caused by bolts, screws, or nails are not a
problem. Look for large holes or long cuts
completely through the tire body: holes or cuts
where foam is being forced or eroded out of the
tire. Also, look for large imbedded objects, such
as angle iron, that can rip a tire body open under
some conditions.
