Filling The Fuel Tank; Daily Operational Inspection - Haulotte H12 SD Operating And Maintenance Instructions Manual

4.4.4. Filling the fuel tank.

Before filling the tank, always check the fuel is as specified and has been properly stored to prevent
pollution. Do not take fuel from a drum that has not settled, and never use the dregs.
Due to the fire risk when filling the tank, take the following precautions:
• do not smoke.
• stop engine if running.
• stand upwind of fuel to avoid being splashed.
• before pouring, rest the pump spout on the tank hole rim to prevent the risk of sparks from static electricity.
• close the tank plug securely and remove any traces of fuel on outside of tank.

4.4.5. Daily operational inspection.

At the beginning of each working shift, the machine must be given a visual inspection covering the following.
Any faults found must be noted in the machine logbook and the supervisor advised prior to deciding
if the machine is suitable for use.
4.4.5.1. General mechanical appearance of machine.
• Loose and missing parts.
• Check wheels and tires: there must be no gashes, abrasion, loose or missing bolts.
• Check lift cylinder: there must be no dents, scratches, rust or foreign bodies on rod.
• Check the steer cylinder: there must be no dents, scratches, rust or foreign bodies on the rods.
• Inspect platform and scissor arms: there must be no visible damage, wear or deformation.
• For excessive movement between moving parts such as the scissors, slew bearing and its connections.
• Check the steer axle: there must be no excessive pivot wear, no loose or missing parts, and no
deformations with visible cracks.
• Check that the control panel power cable is in good condition.
• Check presence of decals, warnings, control markings and operating manuals.
• Check guard-rail system and self closing intermediate rail.
4.4.5.2. General conditions.
• Check that a working fire extinguisher is available and within reach.
• Always work on hard ground able to withstand the maximum load per wheel.
• Remove any traces of oil or grease from the platform floor, ladder and guardrails.
• Check working area conditions.
− Operating area to have stable ground conditions capable of supporting the machine weight (see
ground pressure § 2.6)
− Ensure that the work area at ground level has been cleared of movable obstruction.
− See "Work Area" sketch (§ 2.4) for maximum acceptable gradients.
4.4.5.3. Hydraulics.
• Check hydraulic pump and unit: there must be no leaks, and parts must be secure.
• Check hydraulic oil level
• Check hydraulic oil level (item 1, photo 5). If necessary remove plug (Item 2, Photo 4) and top up as
required. When filling, use the products specified in the material chapters.
4.4.5.4. Engine.
• Remove the cover retained by four catches and ensure that fuel prefilter (item 1, photo 6) contains no
water or impurities. Otherwise, clean it.
• Check engine oil level (item 2, photo 6): max. marker on gauge.
• Check fuel level through holes below tank plug (item 2, photo 5).
4.4.5.5. Battery.
• Check battery electrolyte level. The fluid level should be approximately 10mm above the plates. If
necessary top up with distilled water (see § 4.8).
• Check that battery lugs are clean and tight (loose connections or corrosion cause loss of power).
