Section 6 – Additional Procedures Refuel
6.9 Refuel
WARNING
Do not start the MEWP if you smell gas. Lock and
tag the MEWP, and remove it for servicing. If you
do not obey, there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Do not operate a MEWP that does not function
correctly. Lock and tag the MEWP, and remove it
for servicing. Only a qualified service technician
must repair the MEWP. If you do not obey, there is
a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Only refuel the MEWP in a well-
ventilated area, away from open flame and other
sources of ignition, approved by your employer
and/or supervisor. Always have an approved fire
extinguisher that you can easily access. If you do
not obey, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not smoke in an area where
MEWPs are kept or refueled. If you do not obey,
there is a risk of death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT
Before you use the MEWP, make sure that there is
sufficient fuel for the estimated task.
6.9-1 Refuel the MEWP with gasoline or
diesel
IMPORTANT
For gasoline engines, use unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87 or higher. For diesel
engines, use ultra-low sulfur diesel. Refer to the
information on the fuel tank.
1. Put all the power connections in the off position.
This includes the engine.
2. Push all the emergency-stop buttons, and turn
the main power disconnect switch to the off
position.
WARNING
Environmental hazard. Immediately remove
gasoline, diesel fuel, engine oil, and hydraulic
fluid spills and leaks with rags. Discard these
rags in accordance with national, state/provincial/
territorial, and local regulations. Spilled fluids can
damage the environment. When spilled fluids go
into the water (for example, a sewage system,
streams, rivers, or other surface water), they can
kill aquatic life.
3. Remove the fuel cap.
4. Carefully fill the fuel tank. Make sure that there
are no spills. At the same time, look at the fuel
gauge on the side of the tank. The fuel gauge
indicator must not go above the F (full) mark.
5. Put the fuel cap back on and make sure it closes
tightly.
6. Do an inspection of the fuel system for leaks.
Clean away spilled fuel.
7. Discard the wipes or rags in an approved
container.
6.9-2 Replace the propane cylinder (dual
fuel)
WARNING
Obey all national, state/provincial/territorial, and
local health and safety rules for propane handling.
If you do not obey, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.
WARNING
When you replace a liquid propane gas cylinder,
do an inspection of all the connections for damage
or missing parts. If you do not obey, there is a risk
of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not start the MEWP if you
smell liquid propane gas. Liquid propane gas is
heavier than air. It collects in low areas. A flame
or spark can cause a fire or explosion. Lock and
tag the MEWP for servicing or repair. If you do not
obey, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
