■ Battery Terminals
Figure 7.7 - Battery Terminals
Battery terminals should be tight, clean and free of
dirt and corrosion.
■ 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.
Figure 7.8 - Battery Fluid Level
Remove the caps from the battery and visually
check to see that the battery fluid is 1/4” (6 mm) be-
low the bottom of the filler neck inside each hole.
■ Hydraulic Oil Level
To check the hydraulic oil level:
Completely lower the booms and ensure the stabi-
lizers are in the stowed position.
Figure 7.9 - Hydraulic Oil Level
The hydraulic oil level should be between the two
marks on the decal.
Figure 7.10 - Hydraulic Oil Filler Cap
If necessary, add hydraulic oil at the filler cap. 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).Do not search for
leaks with your hand. Have a qualified
trained maintenance person repair all
hydraulic fluid leaks before you operate an
MHP12/34J.
