3.9 Refueling Procedure
This section provides the operator with the procedure
on how to refuel the engine with regular fuel and install
the propane cylinder.
IMPORTANT
Before using the aerial platform ensure
there is enough fuel to finish the job.
WARNING
Follow all local and national regulations
for propane handling.
• Use extreme caution while refueling aerial
platforms.
• Ensure engine and all systems are turned
off before refueling.
• Refuel aerial platform only in a well
ventilated area away from open flame and
other sources of ignition, authorized by
your employer and supervisor.
• Liquid propane gas fuel is a gas that is
heavier than air. It settles in low spots. Any
flame or spark could cause a fire that could
cause serious injury.
• When changing liquid propane gas cylinder,
check all connections for damage or
missing parts. Never try to start an aerial
platform if you smell gas.
• For gasoline engine models, use only
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
87 or higher.
WARNING
Do not smoke in an area where aerial
platforms are stored or refueled.
3.9-1 Regular Fuel
1. Ensure engine and all systems are turned off and
emergency stop buttons are depressed.
2. Open fuel compartment door and remove fuel
cap.
3. Carefully pour fuel into tank ensuring that no
spillage occurs.
4. Securely replace fuel cap.
5. Ensure there are no leaks in the fuel system.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
7. Dispose of rags in an approved container.
Protection of Environment from Chemical Dangers
WARNING
Gasoline, diesel fuel, engine oil and
hydraulic fluid are chemicals, which can
contaminate the environment. If they
are spilled during filling and reach the
water, they can cause damage to the
environment, e.g., death of fish. For
such damage, the party responsible is
liable! Therefore, gasoline, diesel fuel,
engine oil or hydraulic fluid must not get
into the sewage system, streams, rivers
or other surface water. For that reason,
immediately remove the dripped off or
spilled gasoline, diesel fuel, engine oil
or hydraulic fluid with appropriate means
and dispose of these means according to
the regulations.
