D A N G ER
Batteries emit hydrogen and oxygen,
elements that can combine explosively. Do
not smoke or permit open flames or sparks
when checking batteries.
Remove the caps (1) from each battery and
visually check to see that the battery fluid is
within 1/4” (6 mm) of the bottom of the filler
neck (2) inside each hole.
9. Hydraulic oil
To check the hydraulic oil level:
Completely lower and completely retract the
booms.
The hydraulic oil temperature (1) should be
less than 200°F (93°C).
The hydraulic oil level should be between
the two marks (2) on the sight-glass gauge.
If necessary, add hydraulic oil at the filler cap
(3). See the “SPECIFICATIONS” chapter for
type and grade of hydraulic oil.
10. Hydraulic oil leaks
D A N G ER
Leaking hydraulic oil can cause burns, fires,
falls (slipping), cuts, and puncture wounds
(if under high pressure). Have leaks repaired
by a qualified maintenance person.
Hydraulic oil leaks are easily visible and can
show up anyplace. Visually inspect the entire
machine for hydraulic oil. Check the ground
under the machine for leaked oil.
Look at the platform end of each boom. Oil can
run down the inside of a boom and drip out the
end.
