Manitou 170 AETJ L - Battery Electrolyte Specific Gravity; Check; Front Steering Pivots and Steering Cylinder Ring; Grease

CHECK Battery electrolyte specific gravity
t
IMPORTANT
t
At all times, make sure that:
- The positive terminals cannot come into contact with the negative terminals.
- The positive terminals cannot come into contact with metallic parts of the platform.
The battery contains a highly corrosive liquid. Always wear protective clothing, safety gloves, and goggles or a face
shield during maintenance. Avoid contact with any part of the body or clothing at all times. Rinse any exposed area
with clean water and seek medical advice.
Before checking the specific gravity of the electrolyte, if distilled water has been added: Charge the batteries and wait
for at least 1 hour.
- Remove the right and left battery covers
1
.
- Open one of the battery cell caps
2
.
- Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in a battery cell with a hydrometer.
Refer to the gray area
A
in the illustration.
• Example: The specific gravity should be at least 1.27g/cm3 with an electrolyte
temperature of 16°C.
- Close the battery cell cap
2
.
- Repeat these steps for all the battery cells.
- If the specific gravity is not correct:
• Replace the faulty battery,eOCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE.
GREASE Front steering pivots and steering cylinder ring
t
IMPORTANT
t
Grease the steering pivot pins and the steering cylinder ring more often when the platform is used in a dusty
environment.
NOTE: The battery covers are removed.
- Remove the 4 caps from the lubrication connectors
1
and
2
, on the right and
left-hand sides.
- Remove the lubrication connector cap
