For optimal battery performance, the battery fluid level must be maintained and the battery connections
must be kept clean.
BATTERY TERMINALS
To inspect the battery terminals:
1. Check the top of the battery, the terminals and cable ends (refer to Figure 2-5). They should be
clean and free of corrosion.
2. If necessary, clean the top of the battery. Clean the terminals and cable ends with a wire brush
or terminal cleaning tool.
3. Make sure all cable ends are securely fastened to the terminals.
BATTERY FLUID LEVEL
To inspect the battery fluid level:
1. Remove the caps from the batteries (refer to Figure 2-5).
Figure 2-5 –
Battery tray
2. Visually check the battery fluid level making sure the level is ¼
″
(6 mm) above the plates.
3. If necessary, add distilled water.
Note
Use only distilled water when refilling the battery. Tap water may contain metallic solids such as iron
which can reduce the life of the battery.
4. Replace the caps on the battery. The caps must be in place and tight during machine operation
and battery charging.
SAFETY SWITCHES
To inspect the safety switches:
1. Visually check that the platform overload switch is free from damage.
2. Check all limit switch arms are fee from damage and move easily.
3. Check to make sure the platform does not extend when outriggers are raised.
