SECTION 6 - GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
6-10 31215821
6.4 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The OEM batteries are AGM sealed (VRLA) type so the electro-
lyte level cannot be checked. However, the battery terminals
should be checked periodically for corrosion and tightness.
The batteries (4-battery 6V/each system, or a 2-battery 12V/
each system) are located inside the base frame. To access the
batteries, remove the hood (carry deck) and the rear cover
under the platform.
6.5 TIRES AND WHEELS
Tire Wear and Damage
The tire and rim assemblies installed on machines have been
approved by the tire manufacturer for applications in which
those products are intended to be used. The tire and rims
installed on each product model have been designed for sta-
bility requirements, which consist of track width, tire com-
pound, and load capacity. Tire changes such as rim width,
centerpiece location, larger or smaller diameter, tire com-
pound, etc., without written manufacturers approval, could
result in an unsafe condition regarding stability.
The tires and rims installed on machines are to be inspected
daily as part of the daily walk-around inspection. JLG requires
that the daily walk-around inspection be performed at each
operator change during a shift and at each shift change.
Wheel and Tire Replacement
JLG recommends that any replacement tire be the same size
and brand as originally installed on the machine or offered by
JLG as an approved replacement. Please refer to the JLG Parts
Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a partic-
ular machine model.
