Maintenance
Warning
Always block the elevating assembly whenever it is
necessary to perform maintenance while the platform
is elevated.
Hydraulic Fluid
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the hydraulic
tray. Refer to Figure 5.
Figure 5 – Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
Note
Never add fluid if the platform is elevated.
Check Hydraulic Fluid
1. Make sure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Visually check to make sure the fluid is between the
full and add marks.
3. If necessary, remove the filler cap and add fluid of the
proper type. Replace the cap making sure it is tightly
in place. Refer to the machine specifications.
Battery Maintenance
Warning
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame,
and smoking material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working near bat-
teries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse
away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Always replace batteries with manufacturer approved
replacements.
•
Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the
machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
•
If electrolyte level is lower than 6 mm (¼") above
the plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use tap
S1930E/S1932E/S2632E – 1360417
water with high mineral content, as it will shorten
battery life.
•
Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
•
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and
for complete service instructions.
Warning
Always use manufacturer approved replacement
parts.
Battery Charging
Charge the batteries at the end of each work shift or
sooner if the batteries have been discharged.
Warning
Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area.
Do not charge the batteries when the machine is near
a source of sparks or flames.
Permanent damage to the batteries will result if the
batteries are not immediately recharged after dis-
charging.
Never disconnect the cables from the batteries when
the charger is operating.
Keep the charger dry.
1. At the lower controls, turn the start switch to the off
position.
2. Open the battery tray to access the batteries. Remove
the caps from each battery.
3. Visually check the battery fluid level making sure the
level is within 6 mm (¼") of the bottom of the filler neck
inside each hole. If needed, add distilled water.
4. Tightly replace the caps on each battery and replace
and latch the battery tray covers.
5. Plug the battery charger into a properly grounded
outlet (100-240 volt AC, 50/60 Hz) using a 3 conduc-
tor, 1.5 mm (12 gauge) or larger extension cord. The
extension cord must be as short as possible and in
good electrical condition.
Note
The aerial platform will not operate while the battery
charger is plugged in.
6. Visually inspect the battery charge indicator for proper
charging rate. The LED's are visible on the battery
tray.
•
AC Power On (Blue) – indicates that AC power is
applied to the charger.
