ISUAL INSPECTIONS
The hydraulic actuating cylinders must be subjected to visual inspections periodic all the 250 hours or
6 months such as defined below :
• Absence of leakage.
• Absence of deformations, visible damage , cracks on the body and fixing of the cylinder.
• Absence of rust and shock on the rod.
• Absence of foreign objects on all surfaces.
• Absence of missing or loosened part (bolt, nut, connection, flexible device, etc).

UNCTIONAL TESTS
To guarantee an optimal level of performance and safety, functional tests must be realized all the 250 hours
or 6 months.
The periodicity can evolve under the following conditions :
• Anomaly noted during visual inspection.
• Abnormal noise during movements of the structure.
• Prolonged storage of the machine ( 6 months).
• Specific storage and use Environment (strong moisture and salinity of the air).
Generic Control :
• Position a load equal to the rated capacity on the cage (or platform).
• Raise the cage (or the platform) using the ground control box. To activate the cylinder to be tested, proceed
as follows :
• Lift Arm hydraulic cylinder : Lift the arm to approximately half full height. The telescopic boom should be fully
extended and in the horizontal position. (For machines fitted with).
• Boom lifting cylinder or Jib cylinder : Lift the concerned equipment (boom or jib) of approximately half way. Extend
the telescope to its maximum.
• Telescoping cylinder : Lift the boom to its maximum angle and telescope approximately 50 cm (19.69 in).
• Measure the distance between the floor of the cage (or of the platform) and the ground.
• Leave the machine in this condition for 15 mn (minutes).
• Measure the distance between the floor of the cage (or of the platform) and the ground.
• If the difference between two measurements does not exceed 4 cm (1.575 in) : the test validates correct operation.
• If the difference between two measurements exceeds 4 cm (1.575 in), contact HAULOTTE Services® or carry out
the additional tests described below.
