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 engine
compartment. Refer to Figure 7.
Figure 7 – 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. Remove the engine cover to access the engine
compartment.
3. Visually check to make sure the fluid is visible in the
sight glass.
4. If necessary, remove the filler cap and add fluid of
the proper type. Replace the cap making sure it is
tightly in place. See “Specifications” on page 18.
Engine
Remove the keeper pins and release the latches on either
side of the engine cover and visually inspect the engine
and its components with the engine off.
Oil Level
Check the engine oil level before starting the engine
so the oil has drained to the pan. The proper oil level is
between the add and full marks on the dipstick.
The distance between the top and bottom dipstick marks
corresponds to about 1 l (1 quart US). Add oil, if neces-
sary, before starting the engine.
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.
Check the battery uid 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
water with high mineral content, as it will shorten
battery life.
Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
Warning
Always use manufacturer approved replacement
parts.
