Check
the
battery fluid levels daily, especially if
the
work platform is being used in a
warm, dry climate.
•If
the
electrolyte level is lower than 3/8 in. (10 mm) above
the
plates, add distilled
water ONLY. Do not use tap water with high mineral content, as it will shorten battery
life.
The battery and cables should be inspected regularly for signs of cracks in the case,
electrolyte leakage and corrosion of the terminals. Inspect cables for worn spots or
breaks in the insulation and for broken cable terminals. Keep terminals and tops of
batteries clean.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and for complete service instruc-
