Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic system problems.

Perform this procedure with the platform in the stowed position and the engine off.

1Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the side of the hydraulic oil tank.

Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within the top 2 inches / 5 cm of the sight gauge.

2 Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.

Proper battery condition is essential to good engine performance and operational safety. Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in engine component damage and hazardous conditions.

This procedure does not need to be performed on machines with sealed or maintenance-free batteries.

Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live circuits may result in death or serious injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.

Bodily injury hazard. Batteries contain acid. Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

1Put on protective clothing and eye wear.

2Be sure that the battery cable connections are tight and free of corrosion.

3Be sure that the battery hold down bars are in place and secure.

4Remove the battery vent caps.

5Check the battery acid level. If needed, replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the battery fill tube. Do not overfill.

6Install the vent caps.

Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion preventative sealant will help eliminate corrosion on the battery terminals and cables.
