Maintenance Information

Engines (Item 5)

Other than daily Operator's maintenance outlined in
the Daily Inspection and Maintenance schedule, all
other engine maintenance information is found in
the manufacturer's instruction manual.
Refer to the engine manufacturer's instruction
manual or consult your local engine service
representative if engine adjustments or repairs are
needed.
CAUTION
The engine MUST be operated in accordance
with manufacturer's instructions and
serviced at recommended intervals.
Failure to do so could result in the loss of
your engine warranty and repair of any failure
resulting from improper maintenance could
be at your own expense.

Hydraulic oil reservoir (Item 6)

The fluid level should be kept level with the indicator
line on the side of the reservoir and should be
checked with all cylinders fully retracted and the
platform in the stowed position.
The interior of the reservoir should be wiped out and
cleaned each time the hydraulic oil is changed. The
reservoir filler/breather cap should be removed and
the cap breather cleaned yearly with Kerosene, Fuel
Oil or other solvent.
It is absolutely necessary that only new, clean
hydraulic oil is added.
CAUTION
If it becomes necessary to add or use an oil
other than the recommended fluid, it is
i m p o r t a n t t h a t i t b e c o m p a t i b l e a n d

Return filter (Item 7)

On scissorlift models, the hydraulic oil return filter is
mounted in the left hand tray assembly close to the
hydraulic oil reservoir.
The filter element is a throw-away type filter and
should be changed after the initial break-in period
(approximately 50 hours operation time).
The filter condition should be checked at the 90 day
or 150 hour Preventive Inspection Maintenance
page 12
interval or more frequently under extreme working
conditions.
When changing the filter element, the oil inside of
the filter element, should be examined for deposits
of metal cuttings, which if present, could indicate
excessive wear in some of the system components.

Door hinges and latches (Item 8)

Door hinges and latches may be lubricated as
required with spray lubrication or SAE 10W oil.
After lubricating, remove any excess oil or
over-spray so it will not collect dirt and debris.

Slide pads (Item 9)

Check slide pads for excessive wear and replace as
required.
Slide pads DO NOT require lubrication.

Scissor arm bearings (Item 10)

Scissor arm bearings are self lubricating. Check
bearings for signs of damage and excessive wear
as outlined in the maintenance schedule.
DO NOT lubricate scissor arm bearings.

Batteries (Item 11)

The battery will have longer life if the water level is
maintained and it is kept charged. The unit will have
better starting characteristics with a fully charged
battery.
In cold weather the battery should be maintained at
full charge to keep from freezing. An extremely low
or dead battery can freeze in cold weather. Make
sure connections are clean and tight.
Check specific gravity of the battery per
maintenance schedule.
Make sure charging equipment is operating
properly.
DANGER
Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid
which will damage eyes or skin on contact.
When working around batteries, ALWAYS
wear a face shield to avoid acid in eyes.
If acid contacts eyes, flush immediately with
clear water and get medical attention.
Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing
to keep acid off skin, if acid contacts skin,
wash off immediately with clear water.
