Battery Maintenance - Upright SL26 Manual Del Operador

Maintenance
Never perform service on the work platform
while the platform is elevated.
Note: No normal (routine) maintenance on the
SL26/30RT should require the platform to be
raised.

Battery Maintenance

Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep
sparks, flame, and smoking material away
from battery.
Always wear safety glasses when working
with batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly
rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Battery Inspection and Cleaning
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work
platform is being used in a warm, dry climate. If the
electrolyte level is lower than 10mm (
the plates, add clean, distilled water only. Use of
tap water with high mineral content will shorten
battery life.
The battery 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.
Clean the battery when there is signs of corrosion
at the terminals or when electrolyte has overflowed
during charging. Use a baking soda solution to
clean the battery, taking care not to get the solution
inside the cells. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Clean battery and cable contact surfaces to a
bright metal finish whenever a cable is removed.
