Section 6 – Additional Procedures Refuel
6.4-1 Refuel the MEWP with diesel or
gasoline
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 the spilled fuel.
7. Discard the wipes or rags in an approved
container.
6.4-2 Replace the propane cylinder
(optional equipment)
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.

2. Push the emergency-stop button on the base
control console.

stop the fuel supply to the engine.
4. Pull the emergency-stop button. Start the
engine (refer to Figure 07) and let it stop by
itself.
5. Move the fuel switch to the liquid propane gas
position.
6. Start the engine again to make sure the fuel lines
are empty.
7. Push the emergency-stop button.
