11.3 Check the Batteries
Proper battery condition is essential for good performance and operational safety. Improper fluid levels
or damaged cables and connections can result in component damage and hazardous conditions.
WARNING
Contact with hot or live circuits may result in serious injury or death. Remove all rings,
watches and other jewelry.
CAUTION
Batteries contain acid. Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Battery acid spills can
be neutralized with a mixture of baking soda and water.
1. Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2. Be sure that the battery cable connections are tight and free of corrosion.
3. Be sure that the battery hold-down brackets are secure.
4. Remove the battery vent caps.
5. Check the battery acid level. If needed, replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the battery fill
tube. Do not overfill.
6. Install the vent caps.
Note
: Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion preventative sealant will help eliminate corrosion
on the battery terminals and cables.

The following locations can be lubricated:
1. Apply grease to the lubrication nipples of the steering wheels.
2. Slightly lubricate the wear pads at the top ends of the scissors (underside of the platform) with oil.
3. Slightly lubricate the wear pads at the bottom of the scissors (upper side of the chassis) with oil.
