MAINTENANCE
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, ame and smoking
material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
Battery uid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled uid with
clean water.
Always replace the batteries with Snorkel batteries or manufacturer approved replacements weigh-
ing 22 kg (48 lbs.) each.
Use the following procedure to ensure battery maintenance.
1. Check the battery uid level daily especially if the work platform is being used in a warm, dry
climate.
2. If the electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8") above the plates, add distilled water only. Do
not use tap water due to its high mineral content since it will shorten battery life.
3. Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
4. Refer to the service manual to extend battery life and for complete service instructions.
BATTERY CHARGING
Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area. Do not charge the batteries when
the work platform is near a source of spark or ames.
Permanent damage to the batteries will result if the batteries are not
immediately recharged after discharging. Never disconnect the cables from the
batteries when the charger is operating. Keep the charger dry.
Use the following procedure to charge the batteries after use.
1. Check the battery uid level. If the battery uid level is lower than 10 mm (3/8") above the
plates, add distilled water only.
2. Verify the charger voltage switch is set to 12 volts.
3. Connect an appropriate extension cord to the charger plug. Plug the extension cord into a
properly grounded outlet of proper voltage and frequency.
NOTE: The battery charger circuit must be used with a GFI (Ground fault interrupt) outlet.
NOTE: Do not operate the machine while the charger is plugged in.
