Battery Terminals

Figure 7.7 - Battery Terminals
Bat tery ter mi nals should be tight, clean and free of
dirt and cor ro sion.

Battery Fluid Level

Batteries emit hydrogen and oxygen,
elements 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 batteries.
Figure 7.8 - Battery Fluid Level
Re move the caps from the bat tery and vi su ally
check to see that the bat tery fluid is 1/4" (6 mm) be -
low the bot tom of the filler neck in side each hole.

Hydraulic Oil Level

To check the hy drau lic oil level:
Com pletely lower the booms and en sure the sta bi -
lis ers are in the stowed position.
page 7 - 4
Figure 7.9 - Hydraulic Oil Level
The hy drau lic oil level should be be tween the two
(2) marks on the de cal.
Figure 7.10 - Hydraulic Oil Filler Cap
If nec es sary, add hy drau lic oil at the filler cap. See
the "Spec i fi ca tions" chap ter 3, for type and grade of
hy drau lic oil.

Hydraulic Oil Leaks

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 escaping
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention at
once.
Do not search for leaks with your hand use a piece
of card board or wood.
Hy drau lic oil leaks are eas ily vis i ble and can show
up any place. Vi sually in spect the en tire ma chine
for hy drau lic oil. Check the ground un der the ma -
chine for leaked oil.
Care fully in spect the ends of the up per and lower
booms. Oil can run down in side of the booms and
drip out the end.
