Pre-operation inspection
1 - Recommendations
The owner, the site manager, the supervisor and the operator are all responsible to ensure the machine
is fit for the work it is to perform; i.e. that the machine is suitable to carry out the work in complete safety
and in compliance with this Operator's Manual. All managers who are responsible for persons
operating the machine must be familiar with the local regulations currently applicable in the country of
use and ensure that they are adhered to.
Before using the machine, read the previous chapters in this manual. Ensure that you have understood
the following points :
• Safety precautions.
• Operator's responsibilities.
• Conditions and the operating principles of the machine.
56 4000415480 E 01.18 USA / GB
OPTIMUM 8 - OPTIMUM 1931 E
C
- Pre-operation inspection
2 - Working area assessment
To ensure safety during operation, the following should be considered :
• Segregate other site traffic (delivery vehicles, dumpers, etc) from the work area.
• Check the work area for localized features, e.g. manholes, service ducts, potholes, etc.
• Check ground covers (temporary and permanent) are strong enough to withstand the applied
pressure.
• Check ground covers are secured and monitor them. Take similar action for permanent covers.
• Check the load bearing capacity (distributed load and point loading) when working inside a building,
or on a structure.
• Check the load bearing capacity (distributed load and point loading) of the supporting ground.
• Provide supervision to ensure safe systems of work are appropriate and being used.
• Check for overhead crushing and contact hazards.
• Check weather conditions have not altered ground conditions (e.g. heavy or prolonged rain).
• Establish limits for safe operation (e.g. maximum wind speed). Remember conditions can change
internally (e.g. if roller doors are opened).
• Comply with permit to work systems where sites have them (e.g. chemical plants).
• Provide a rescue plan for all risks, including falls and crush hazards. Ensure personnel understand
and are appropriately trained in the rescuing procedures. Site based personnel trained in operation
of functions and in the emergency lowering systems from the ground control box should be present.
Ensure that access to the ground controls is available.
• Assess other alternative work methods or equipment before operating near a steep slope. If the
machine must be placed near an edge or steep slope, ensure barriers are available to support the
weight of the machine. Take into consideration the machine's stopping distance. If this is not
possible, evaluate and establish the placement of machine and sequence of operations so that the
aerial work platform can operate in a safe manner (e.g. machine is in line with the edge rather than
towards the edge).
Extra care must be taken if aerial work platforms are used to manoeuvre up through several levels of
steelwork. There is a risk of the operator being trapped should the basket strike the steelwork.
This risk increases with the number of steelwork levels and if material is piled up on lower level reducing
the spacing between levels.

1.2.4 - Conditions of warranty
HAULOTTE® guarantees its products against defects, faults or manufacturing defects when
the owner or rental company has informed HAULOTTE® of the defect.
The warranty does not cover the consequences of normal wear, nor any defects, failure or
damage resulting from poor maintenance or abnormal usage, in particular overloading, impact
by an external source, faulty installation or any modification made to products marketed
by HAULOTTE® and performed by the owner or rental company.
In the event of operation or use which does not comply with the instructions or
recommendations in the maintenance book, warranty claims will not be accepted.
The machine utilisation period must be recorded by reading the engine hour meter whenever
an intervention is made. The engine hour meter must be maintained in good working order to
guarantee maximum working life and to justify maintenance at the recommended time.
Warranty obligations for the time period stated above will cease immediately in situations
where the defect is due to the following reasons :
• Use of spare parts that are not HAULOTTE® originals.
• If elements or products other than those recommended by the manufacturer are used.
• If the HAULOTTE® name, serial numbers or identification marks are removed or altered.
• After an unreasonably long delay before reporting a manufacturing problem.
• If the owner or rental company continues to use the machine despite problems.
• If damage is caused by modifications that do not comply with HAULOTTE® specifications.
• If lubricants, hydraulic oils or fuels that do not comply with HAULOTTE® recommendations
are used.
• If the machine is incorrectly repaired or used by the customer.
• In case of an accident caused by a third party.
If no particular agreement has been made, any claims made after the previously established
warranty period has expired will be refused.

The present warranty does not cover damage that may result directly or indirectly from any
flaws or defects covered by the latter :
• Consumables : No claims will be accepted for objects or parts replaced in the context of
normal machine usage.
• Settings : Adjustments of all sorts may become necessary at any time. Therefore
adjustments are considered a part of normal machine usage conditions and are not covered
by the warranty.
• Hydraulic and fuel circuit contamination : Every possible precaution is taken to ensure that
fuel and hydraulic liquid delivered is clean. HAULOTTE® will not accept any claims
concerning cleaning of the fuel circuit, filter, injection pump or any other equipment in direct
contact with fuel or lubricants.
• Wearing parts (pads, bearings, tires/tyres, connections, etc.) : These parts are, by definition,
subject to deterioration during the period of operation. Wearing parts will therefore not be
covered by the warranty agreement.

Вы знаете, чем отличаются самоходные ножничные подъемники от других типов подъемной техники? С помощью их гидравлического механизма, выглядящего как «нюрнбергские ножницы» (вид ромба, состоящий из двух звеньев, соединённых в середине шарниром), рабочие с инструментом могут подняться в вертикальной плоскости на рабочей платформе. Данный вид подъемников безопасен в использовании, функционально надежен, обладает относительно высокой грузоподъемностью, прост в обслуживании. Самоходные ножничные подъемники с питанием от АКБ благодаря своим компактным размерам удобны для проведения работ внутри, в условиях ограниченного пространства, поэтому они пользуются повышенным спросом у производственных компаний, в распоряжении которых имеются помещения и складские площади.
Новый клиент компании ВЕРТЕКС – птицефабрика, для обслуживания корпусов которой потребовалась подъемная техника. Мы предложили оптимальное решение под задачи клиента — самоходный ножничный подъемник Haulotte Optimum 8.
Haulotte Optimum 8 с рабочей высотой 7,77м и грузоподъемность 230 кг — универсальная машина, которая может эксплуатироваться как внутри помещения, так и снаружи. Ширина подъемника 0,79 м, позволяет ему проходить через стандартный дверной проем. Заряда аккумуляторов хватает на 8 часов непрерывной работы – этот факт говорит о высокой производительности данной машины. В стандартной комплектации модель Optimum 8 имеет удобную систему бортовой диагностики неисправностей Haulotte Activ’Screen, которая показывает степень зарядки аккумулятора, часомер, знаки аварийных сигналов тревоги и неисправностей с кодом или текстом ошибки.
Для своих клиентов мы всегда рады предложить не только продажу или аренду техники, но и профессиональное сервисное обслуживание. К вашим услугам постоянно обучающийся и повышающий свою квалификацию сервисный персонал, склад запчастей с наличием около 6000 тыс позиций и конечно индивидуальный подход к каждому!
С подробными техническими характеристиками Haulotte Optimum 8 вы можете ознакомиться в каталоге техники.
