Cables and Wiring Harness
Inspect all cables and wiring for wear and/or physical
damage such as loose connections, broken wires and
frayed insulation. Check the wiring in areas where a
change in routing direction may cause them to become
pinched (refer to Figure 7.7). Make sure the cables and
wires are properly routed to avoid sharp edges, pinching
and scuffing.

Hydraulic System
Hydraulic power is supplied from an engine driven vari-
able displacement piston pump.
Danger
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
enough force to inject fluid into the flesh. Serious
infection or reaction can result if medical treatment
is not given immediately. In case of injury by escap-
ing hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention at once.
The hydraulic reservoir is behind the door on the right
side of the turntable. The pump is mounted on the
engine.
Fluid Level
Check the hydraulic reservoir fluid level with the aerial
platform stowed on a level surface. The fluid level must
be between the full and add marks as viewed on the
sight glass (refer to Figure 7.8).
Figure 7.6 – Batteries
Warning
Batteries give off hydrogen and oxygen that can
combine explosively. Death or serious injury can
result from a chemical explosion. Do not smoke or
permit open flames or sparks when checking the
batteries.
Caution
Even with low voltage electrical systems, severe
arcing can occur. Electrical shock or component
damage can result from contact with energized
conductors. Use caution when working with any
electrical device.
The batteries are automatically charges when the engine
is running. Include the batteries when inspecting and
servicing the electrical system.
Battery Fluid Level
Remove the caps from each battery. Visually check the
battery fluid level. If the level is not within 6 mm ( 1 /
4
″ )
of the bottom of the filler neck inside each hole, add
distilled water.
Replace the caps on the batteries. The caps must be in
place and tight during machine operation.
Battery Terminals
Check the top of the batteries, the terminals and cable
ends. They should be clean and free of corrosion. Clean
the top of the batteries if necessary. Clean the terminals
and cable ends with a wire brush or terminal cleaning
tool. All cable ends must be securely fastened to the
terminals.
