Maintenance
Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.
Note: Perform this procedure with the platform in
the stowed position and the engine off.
1 Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the
side of the hydraulic oil tank.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the top 5 cm of the sight gauge.
2 Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.

Check the Batteries
Proper battery condition is essential to good engine
performance and operational safety. Improper fluid
levels or damaged cables and connections can
result in engine component damage and hazardous
conditions.
Note: This procedure does not need to be
performed on machines with sealed or
maintenance-free batteries.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live
circuits may result in death or serious injury.
Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries contain acid.
Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid.
Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda
and water.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are
tight and free of corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery hold-down brackets are
secure.
4 Remove the battery vent caps.
5 Check the battery acid level. If needed,
replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the
battery fill tube. Do not overfill.
6 Install the vent caps.
Note: Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion
preventative sealant will help eliminate corrosion on
the battery terminals and cables.
