Battery Terminals
To inspect the battery terminals:
1. Check the top of the battery, the terminals, and cable
ends (refer to Figure 8.2). They should be clean and
free of corrosion.
2. If necessary, clean the top of the battery. Clean the
terminals and cable ends with a wire brush or terminal
cleaning tool.
3. Make sure all cable ends are securely fastened to
the terminals.
Battery Charger
Inspect the battery charger (refer to Figure 8.3) to ensure
that it is operating properly.
1. Turn the control selector switch off.
2. Plug the charger into a source of power.
3. Observe the LED’s on the charger to determine the

Safety Props
Always use the safety props when the platform is raised
before inspecting or performing service or maintenance
procedures on the machine.
Danger
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death
or serious injury will result if the scissors structure
drops onto personnel working within the scissors
arms or under the raised platform. Properly position
the safety props before reaching through the scis-
sors structure.
Use the following procedure to properly position the
safety props:
1. Remove all tools and material from the platform.
2. Using the lower controls, raise the platform until the
open distance on the chassis is wide enough to move
the safety props.
3. Rotate the safety props downward from the storage
position to the support position (refer to Figure 8.4).
Figure 8.4 – Safety Prop
4. Remove hands and arms from the scissors structure
area.
5. Lower the platform until the scissors are supported
by the safety props.
Use the following procedure to stow the safety prop:
1. Using the lower controls, raise the platform until the
open distance on the chassis is wide enough to move
the safety props.
2. Rotate the safety props upward to the stowed posi-
tion (refer to Figure 8.5).
