Hydraulic Fluid Levels
1.
Open cover enclosing hydraulic pump. Check
fluid level in hydraulic reservoir. When trailer
deck is fully raised, hydraulic fluid level should
be approximately 1 inch above 1/2 of reservoir
volume.
2.
If reservoir volume is below 1/2 when trailer
deck is fully raised, add enough BP type HLP-
46 or 10W hydraulic oil to bring fluid level in
reservoir to approximately 1 inch above 1/2
full.
Batteries
1.
Use hydrometer to check charge in batteries
daily or weekly, depending on frequency of
use. If the charge drops below 25% of full
charge (S.G. below 1.155 as corrected to
80°F) the batteries must be recharged. Refer
to step 2 before charging batteries.
3.
Charge batteries at one of the following
charge rates. The slow charge rate is
preferred.
22 hours @ 5 amps
2
5 hours @ 20 amps
2
2 hours @ 50 amps
2.
Check the electrolyte level weekly. If battery
charge is low, add water to bring electrolyte
level just above plates.
If batteries are fully charged, add water to
raise electrolyte to full mark in each cell.
