following conditions:
High Engine Oil Temperature
Low Engine Oil Pressure
Engine Overspeed
Generator Overvoltage
Batteries fully charged
TO AVOID INJURY FROM AN EXPLOSION, DO NOT SMOKE OR
ALLOW SPARKS OR A FLAME NEAR BATTE RY DURING SERVIC-

Battery Charging (On Board Charger)
1. Fo r maxim um battery life:
a. Avoid completely discharging the batteries.
b. Fully charge the batteries each day the machine
is used.
c. Charge the batteries at available times between
charging.
d. Be sure the battery fluid covers the battery
plates before charging, but to avoid overflow, do
not top off the fluid level until charging.
2. To charge the batteries, connect the charger to a
115 volt source with a 15 amp minimu m ca pacity.
3. The Charger wi ll shut off automatically when the bat-
teries are fully charged.

2.5 CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
Upper Boom Lift, Mid Boom Lift, Lower
Boom Lift, Telescope, Slave, Master, Rotator,
and Steer
A double acting cylinder is one that requires oil flow to
operate the cylinder r od in both directions. Directing oil
(by actuating the corresponding control valve to the pis-
ton side of the cylinder) forces the piston to travel toward
the rod end of the barrel, extending the cylinder rod (pis-
ton attached to rod). When the oil flow is stopped, move-
ment of the rod will stop. By directing oil to the rod side of
the cylin der, the piston will be fo rced in the oppo site di rec-
tion and the cylinder rod will retract.
