NOTE: Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions, labels and National Safety
Instructions/Requirements. Perform the following steps each day before use.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, fluid leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the hydraulic fluid level sight gauge on the hydraulic reservoir with the platform fully lowered. Add fluid if necessary.
3. Check that fluid level in the batteries is correct (see “Battery Maintenance” on page 12).
4. Check that all guardrails are in place, the slide-out deck extension is secured with the pin, and all fasteners are properly tightened.
5. Check tire pressure: 5,2 bar ( 75 psi ).
6. Carefully inspect the entire machine for damage such as cracked welds or structural members, loose or missing parts, fluid leaks, damaged cables or hoses, loose connections and tire damage.
Preventative Maintenance Schedule
P REVENTATIVE M AINTENANCE S CHEDULE
The complete inspection consists of periodic visual and operational checks, along with periodic minor adjustments to assure proper performance. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems. The inspection and maintenance schedule is to be performed at regular intervals.
Inspection and maintenance shall be performed by personnel who are trained and familiar with mechanical and electrical procedures.
!
W A R N I N G !
Before performing preventative maintenance, familiarize yourself with the operation of the machine.
Always block the elevating assembly whenever it is necessary to enter the scissor assembly to perform maintenance while the platform is elevated (see page 11).
The daily preventative maintenance table has been designed for machine service and maintenance repair.
Please photocopy the Daily Preventative Maintenance Check List and use the table as a checklist when inspecting the machine for service.

Check battery fluid level daily, especially if the machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
If the electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm ( 3
/
8 in.
) above plates, add distilled water ONLY. Do not use tap water with high mineral content; it will shorten battery life.
When night temperatures fall below 18°C (65°F), batteries charged in unheated areas should be charged as soon after use as possible. Under such conditions a four hour charge cycle once a week in the early afternoon will improve the state of charge and battery life.
The battery and cables should be inspected regularly for signs of cracks in the case, electrolyte leakage and corrosion of the terminals. Inspect the cables for worn spots or breaks in the insulation and for broken cable terminals.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and for complete service instructions.
B A T T E R Y C H A R G I N G
Charge the batteries at the end of each work shift or sooner if the batteries have been discharged. Discharging a deep cycle battery to less than 1.75 Volts per cell can cause permanent damage.

Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
Do not charge the batteries when the machine is near a source of sparks or flames.
Permanent damage to the batteries will result if the batteries are not immediately recharged after discharging.
Never leave the battery charger operating for more than two days.
