LIFT CYLINDER DRIFT TEST

Check the battery discharge indicator (if so equipped). With the battery connected and key (if equipped) in the ON position, the indicator needle should point to the green area. If not, it should be indicated on the PM report form.

BATTERY AND CABLES After the test drive, perform a battery load test. Remove the hydraulic cover and bypass the lift limit switch with a jumper wire.

Operate the hydraulic lift until the forks are in maximum height position and the hydraulic system operates in the bypass mode. The battery discharge indicator needle should not drop into the red area. If the needle points to the red area, the battery is not sufficiently charged for operation.

I IMPORTANT Do not operate the hydraulic system in the bypass mode with the lift limit switch bypassed any longer than neces- sary to take a reading. Remove the bypass jumper wire.
