Press the lift function select button.
Press and hold the function enable switch on the joystick.
Raise the platform approximately 10 ft /3 m from the ground.
Press the drive function select button.
Choose a point on the machine; i.e., contact patch of a tire, as a visual reference for use when
crossing the start and finish lines.
Bring the machine to top drive speed before reaching the start line. Begin timing when your
reference point on the machine crosses the start line.
Continue at full speed and note the time when your reference point on the machine passes over
the finish line. The time should be 54-62 seconds.
Hydraulic Oil Analysis Or Replacement
Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is essential for good machine performance and service life.
Dirty oil may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage.
Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes to be performed more often.
Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may be tested by an oil distributor for specific levels of
contamination and additive breakdown to verify that changing the oil is necessary.
Hydraulic oil may be tested yearly and replaced if it fails. If the hydraulic oil is not replaced at the
Annual Inspection, test the oil quarterly. Replace the oil when it fails the test.
Tank Venting System
A free-breathing hydraulic tank cap is essential for good machine performance and service life. A dirty
or clogged cap may cause the machine to perform poorly. Extremely dirty conditions may require that
the cap be inspected more often.
Remove the breather cap from the hydraulic tank.
Check for proper venting.
Result: Air passes through the breather cap.
Result: If air does not pass through the cap, clean or replace the cap. Proceed to step 3.
Note:When checking for positive tank cap venting, air should pass freely through the cap.
Using a mild solvent, carefully wash the cap venting system. Dry using low pressure compressed
air. Repeat step 2.
Install the breather cap onto the hydraulic tank.
Module Latch Components
Maintaining the module tray latch components in good condition is essential to good performance
and service life. Failure to detect worn out latch components may result in module trays opening
unexpectedly, creating an unsafe operating condition.
Inspect each module tray latch and related components for wear and proper adjustment. Tighten
any loose fasteners.
Lubricate each module tray latch. Using light oil, apply a few drops to each of the springs and to
the sides of the latch mechanism.
