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 (3/8 in.) above 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.
