HOEFLON C10 - Daily Inspection Prior to Use

WORKING WITH THE COMPACT CRANE
U.C10.00.00.EN Version 2.0 25
6.1 Daily inspection prior to use
DANGER!
The engine must be stopped when topping off oil, coolant or
fuel; DO NOT smoke while performing these tasks.
For your own safety and to obtain the maximum service life from your equipment, it is of great importance that
you always inspect the condition of the compact crane before use. Resolve any problems you find, or have your
dealer do so, before you use the compact crane again.
 Before performing the daily inspection, first ensure that the compact crane is
horizontal (to ensure proper oil levels).
 Check that the engine is switched off.
 Perform a thorough general visual inspection of the compact crane. Look, in
particular for oil and/or coolant leaks, leaking cylinders, loose connections, dirt
accumulation and any damage. Remove any dirt which has accumulated and have
necessary repairs performed if you observe a leak.
 Check the engine oil level before starting and top up if necessary. Running the
engine while the oil level is too low can result in engine damage.
 The oil level of the Yanmar engine must be between (2) and (3) on the dipstick
(1). Pull the dipstick out of the engine and wipe it off. Now insert it completely
again and then remove it and read the level. Top up if low. Unscrew cap (4) and
fill through (5). (See figure 8) Figure: 8
 Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank: top up with Hydro 32 if necessary (see
figure 9).
 Check that all protective caps and covers are in position and that all nuts and bolts
are in place and secured firmly.
 Make sure that the locking pins are present and secure. For example, at the
outrigger leg, jib and lifting accessories.

 Check the fuel level, top up if necessary with diesel fuel EN 590 (see figure 10).
 See section 7.5 for the diesel fuel specifications.
 Check the coolant level in the Yanmar engine. When the engine is warm the
level should be at the full line and, when cold at the low line (see figure 11).
 Top up with coolant if necessary (see section 7.5 for coolant specifications).
