MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
ALWAYS BLOCK THE ELEVATING
ASSEMBLY WHENEVER IT IS NECESSARY
TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE WHILE THE
PLATFORM IS ELEVATED.
Figure 5 - Safety Props
Use the following procedure to properly position the
safety props:
1
Remove all tools and material from the
platform.
2
Using the lower controls, raise the platform
until the open distance on the chassis is wide
enough to position the safety props. Refer to
Figure 5.
3
Rotate the safety props downward from the
storage position to the support position.
4
Remove hands and arms from the scissors
area.
5
Lower the platform until the scissors are
supported by the safety props.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the
component tray. Refer to Figure 6.
Note: Never add fluid if the platform is elevated.
Figure 6 - Component Tray
CHECK HYDRAULIC FLUID
1
Make sure that the platform is fully lowered.
2
Visually check to make sure the fluid is within
6 mm (1⁄4′′) of the top of the fill hole.
3
If necessary, remove the filler cap and add
fluid of the proper type. Replace the cap making
sure it is tightly in place. Refer to “Specifications”
pages 16 to 18.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
HAZARD OF EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE.
KEEP SPARKS, FLAME, AND SMOKING MATERIAL AWAY
FROM THE BATTERY. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
WHEN WORKING NEAR THE BATTERY. BATTERY FLUID
IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. THOROUGHLY RINSE AWAY ANY
SPILLED FLUID WITH CLEAN WATER. ALWAYS REPLACE
THE BATTERY WITH A MANUFACTURER APPROVED
REPLACEMENT.
• Check the battery fluid level weekly, especially if the
machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
• If electrolyte level is lower than 6 mm (1⁄4′′) above the
plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water
with high mineral content, as it will shorten battery life.
• Keep the terminals and top of the battery clean.
• Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and
for complete service instructions.
WARNING:
ALWAYS USE MANUFACTURER
APPROVED REPLACEMENT PARTS.
BATTERY CHARGING
Charge the battery at the end of each work shift or
sooner if the battery has been discharged.
Note: Never add fluid if the platform is elevated. Note: The PUSH series
has a built in feature whereby power is cut to the machine when the
battery level reaches 94.5% or 11.34v of the original 12v supply, this
is to prevent excessive wear or damge to the battery. The machine
should immediately be placed on charge if this occurs.
WARNING:
CHARGE THE BATTERY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY
WHEN THE MACHINE IS NEAR A SOURCE OF SPARKS
OR FLAMES. PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY
WILL RESULT IF THE BATTERY IS NOT IMMEDIATELY
RECHARGED AFTER DISCHARGING. NEVER
DISCONNECT THE CABLES FROM THE BATTERY WHEN
THE CHARGER IS OPERATING.
