BATTERY MAINTENANCE (FOR MAINTENANCE BATTERIES ONLY)

• Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the work platform is being used in a warm, dry
climate.
• If electrolyte level is lower than 10mm (3/8 in.) above the plates, add distilled water only. DO NOT
use tap water with high mineral content as it will shorten battery life.
• Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
