8. Battery fluid level
2
1
D A N G E R
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 (1) and visually check to see
that the battery fluid is in contact with the
bottom of the filler neck (2) inside each hole.
9. 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) on the sight-glass gauge.
If necessary, add hydraulic oil at the filler cap
(3). See the “SPECIFICATIONS” chapter for
type and grade of hydraulic oil.
10. Hydraulic oil leaks
D A N G E R
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 oil leaks before you operate a TB 60.
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. Check the
platform end of each boom - oil can run down
the inside of a boom and drip out the end.
11. Tires
D A N G E R
Death or serious injury can result if a TB 60
tips over. An air-filled tire that has an air leak
or blow-out is a tip over hazard. Do not raise
the platform if any tire has an air leak or is in
such condition that a blow-out could occur.
TB 60 tires are air-filled. Air-filled tires should
be visually checked several times a day to see
that they are properly inflated. Air-filled tires
should be checked very carefully for imbedded
material, cuts, punctures, abraded areas, or
excessive wear.
