- wear protective clothing, footwear and headgear;
- be equipped with a safety harness and any other equipment that might be necessary depending on
working conditions (dangerous areas, for example);
Never use the machine:

- on soft, unstable, ground, in confined spaces or where the gradient is more than 3°
- when exposed to wind (ZERO wind); when used outdoors, use an anemometer to make sure that
wind speed is zero
- near power lines (check on minimum distance to be respected in relation to power line voltage)
- without first putting the protective bar of the work cradle in place and closing the safety gate
- with a cluttered work cradle
- with equipment or objects hanging from the protective rails or the boom
- with items that could increase wind resistance (eg. panels)
- without a fire extinguisher in the work cradle; there is a space in the work cradle reserved for the
extinguisher, which is to be provided by the user
• Never use the guard rail as a means to climb up to or down from the platform; use the steps provided
for this purpose on the machine.
• Never use this machine in explosive environments.
• Always wipe any oil or grease from the machine steps, floor and handrails.
• Never render inoperative the safety limit switches.
• Avoid contact with stationary or moving obstacles.
• Never use ladders or other accessories to increase working height.
• Prevent the machine from being subject to any uncontrolled intervention when not in service.
• Make sure the daily checks are made and make sure the machine operates properly during periods of

3 - OPERATING PRINCIPLES
3.1 HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (see hydraulic circuit diagram, § 8)
All the movements of the machine, except travelling, are powered by the hydraulic energy from an
electro-pump (1) the operating speed of which is controlled by an electronic variable speed drive.
In the event of breakdown, a hand-operated emergency pump (12) can be used to lower the arms and
boom, retract the boom telescopic elements and slew the turntable.
The pump delivery pipe is fitted with a high-pressure filter (2) to protect the installation from pollution.
3.1.1 Turntable rotation, arm lifting, boom derricking and telescoping and work-cradle
compensation
These movements are carried out through solenoid-valve blocks diverting the hydraulic oil flow from
the pump to the receiving mechanism for the selected movement.
The gradual increase in the speed of the movements is achieved by varying the speed of the electro-
pump and thus the flow rate, controlled by the electronic variable speed drive, according to an electrical
order. Only a single movement is possible at any one time.
3.1.2 Steering
This is controlled by a 4-channel solenoid valve (7). Flow rate of the same electro-pump is either on or
off.
3.1.3 Telescoping, boom derricking and arm lifting cylinders
These cylinders are fitted with flanged watertight balance valves.
CAUTION: These can be adjusted only by specially qualified personnel.
3.1.4 Turntable rotation
Rotation of the turntable is controlled by a crown wheel and "gear and screw" reduction gear assembly,
driven by a hydraulic motor. Service pressure is limited to 75 bars for this movement.
3.1.5 Work-cradle rotation
This is controlled by turning the crank in one direction or the other.
3.1.6 Work-cradle compensation
This operates by oil transfer between two cylinders of identical characteristics.
The receiving compensating cylinder is fitted with a pilot-operated double-flanged check valve (22).
Manual compensation speed is controlled by a throttle valve on the electro-pump specific to this
movement.
10
3.1.7 Brake release on wheel reduction gears during travel
Whenever a travel movement command is implemented, the brake release circuit of the reduction gear is
pressurized. The hydraulic pressure is provided by an accumulator with pressure head controlled by a
pressure switch in the range 80 to 220 bars.
When the pressure drops below a minimum threshold level, the travel movement electro-pump is
automatically started-up to recharge the accumulator.
As soon as travel movement ceases, the brake is applied by spring action.
3.1.8 Manual emergency and rescue system
In the event of a power failure preventing:

- either the use of the electro-pump,
- or the operation of various movements,
it is possible to perform these movements from the ground by means of a hand-operated pump. At the
same time as this emergency pump is used, the corresponding solenoid valve block must be actuated in
order to lower the arms, lower the boom, retract the boom telescoping and slew the turntable.
3.1.9 Functioning of overload system
When the charge in the basket exceeds or is equal to 200 kg, the overload buzzer sounds. The overload
system is a mechanical device located between the extremity of the jib and the basket. Take care, when
cleaning around overload system:
- the distance between pressured water cleaning device extremity and overload system must be
more than 60 cm.
3.2 ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
The electrical energy required for driving the motors and powering the controls is supplied by a set of
two blocks of 48 V - 375 Ah batteries. An on-board charger is available for recharging these batteries in
a single night by connection to an ordinary 16 A domestic socket outlet. (Item 3, photo 8).
The electrical circuit includes two distinct parts:

• power circuit, for operation of the travel motors and electro-pump at 48 V,
• control circuit, with a voltage of 48 V for all items relating to operation of the variable speed
drive, and a voltage of 24 V for powering controls and safety systems.
3.2.1 48/24V current converter (Item 4, photo 5)
To ensure uniform discharging of the batteries, the voltage used for the control circuit is originally 48 V
transformed into 24 V by a current converter.
3.2.2 Electronic variable speed drive (Item 1, photo 15)
This is the key component governing the entire operation of the machine. Its role is to control the speed
of machine movements and travel by adapting the rotation speed of the various electric motors to a
given control order.
The variable speed drive acts as a receiver for the signal sent from the servo-control, but also for
information on the nature of the movement to be made and the status of safety systems.
11
All the electric motors are subjected to the variable speed drive control and, consequently, depend on the
built-in operational safety systems on the variable speed drive.
3.2.3 Contactor plate (Photo 15)
The variable speed drive is mounted on a support plate with a series of selection contactors. These are
power relays designed to feed the motors depending on the choice made by the operator.
3.2.4 Direct electric travel movement
Two direct-current motors, connected in series, provide power to the drive wheels via epicycloidal
reduction gears (Item 4, photo 11)
A generator, or tachometer, is installed on one of the motors, feeding return information to the variable
speed drive on the actual instantaneous speed of the motor, in order to control rotation speed. This
device prevents any risk of runaway and trips a counter-current braking system, if necessary (Item 2,
photo 11).
3.2.5 Work-cradle load monitoring
If the load on the work cradle reaches 90% of the maximum authorized load, the buzzer warns the
operator. When this maximum load is exceeded, the control circuit is cut, preventing any cradle
movement.
3.2.6 Tilt monitoring within the 3° limit
The tilt monitoring unit emits an acoustic signal when the maximum permissible tilt angle is reached. If
this situation persists, after a time delay of 1 to 2 seconds, the boom derricking (lifting), arm lifting and
telescoping deployment controls are cut, and no travel movement is possible as long as the machine is
deployed in this manner.
To regain control of travel movement, all raised parts of the platform must be lowered.
N.B.: Once all components of the machine have been lowered, the tilt monitoring unit continues to emit
an acoustic signal as long as the gradient is greater than 3°, informing the operator that it will be
impossible to deploy the work cradle.
3.2.7 High travel speed
The high travel speed is permitted only when the work cradle has been completely lowered. When the
boom is raised or the arms deployed, only low travel speed is possible.
NEVER DESCEND STEEP SLOPES IN HIGH-SPEED TRAVEL MODE
12
4 - USING THE MACHINE
4.1 UNLOADING - LOADING - MOVEMENT
IMPORTANT: Before any operation, make sure the machine is in good condition and has not been
damaged during transport. If there is any damage, make the necessary reserves in writing to the
forwarding agent.
A handling error could lead to the machine falling with a

very serious risk of causing personal injury and material damage
Carry out unloading operations on a stable, flat, unencumbered and sufficiently strong surface (see
ground pressure - Section 2.4).
4.1.1 Unloading by lifting
• Use a lifting beam with four slings.

• Precautions
Make sure:
- that the lifting gear is in good working order and is powerful enough for the job,
- that the slings and hooks can withstand the load (refer to nominated rating shown on machine at
the attachment points) and are not abnormally worn or frayed.
- that the lifting rings are clean and in good order,
- that the personnel responsible for unloading the machine is authorized to use the lifting
equipment.
• Unloading
- attach the four slings to the four lifting points,
- lift the machine slowly, making sure that the load is evenly distributed and lower it slowly to the
ground.
Never stay underneath or too close to the machine during

unloading operations
4.1.2 Unloading using ramps
• Precautions:
13
- Make sure that the ramps are properly fixed and are strong enough to support the load and that
there is sufficient grip to prevent the machine from sliding while it is being unloaded.
IMPORTANT: The machine has to be started up in order to unload it via ramps. See § 4.3 to avoid
any risk of error. Select low travel speed.
NB: Since the ramp slope is nearly always steeper than the maximum working gradient (3°), the boom
and arms must be lowered in order to authorise travel movement.
In this case, the buzzer will be tripped, but travel is possible.
If the slope is greater than the maximum permissible travel slope (see § 2.4), use a winch for assistance.
NEVER DESCEND THE RAMPS IN HIGH-SPEED TRAVEL MODE
4.1.3 Loading
Take the same precautions as for unloading.
The machine must be secured in accordance with the diagram below. To climb up the ramps onto a
lorry, select high travel speed.
4.1.3 Movement
Always comply with the traffic regulations or instructions applicable to the site.
On rough ground, make a preliminary survey of the area concerned before starting overhead work in the
cradle.
Always keep a safe distance away from unstable shoulders or embankments when moving.
Make sure that no-one is in the immediate vicinty of the machine before starting any machine
movements or travel.
Reminder: It is strictly prohibited to travel on public highways.

4.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTION
IMPORTANT: The machine must not be started up until all the operations described in the
previous chapter have been completed.
To get used to the machine, the operator should carry out the initial movements at ground level with the
machine in the transit position: counterweight at front, boom lowered.
CAUTION: When the counterweight is placed above the steering wheels, the travel
and steering controls are reversed.
Remember: The main control panel is in the work cradle.
In normal conditions, the turntable control panel is an emergency control unit and is used only when
absolutely necessary.
4.3.1 Ground level operations
4.3.1.1 Switching on:

• Close the battery cut-out (Item 2, photo 8).
• Reset the emergency stop button (Item 8, photo 1) by means of the key.
• Set the control panel selector key (Item 6, photo 1) to the "turntable" position. In this position, the
work cradle controls are disabled.
4.3.1.2 Testing the various movements (photo 1)
Remember: Before carrying out any operations, check that there are no obstacles that might hinder the
movements.
• Actuate and hold down the pump control button (Item 7).
• The movements controlled from the turntable panel are of the "On/Off" type (no variable speed).
• Test arm movement in the raising and lowering directions (switch, Item 2).
• Test boom derricking movement in the raising and lowering directions (switch, Item 3).
• Stop lowering the boom when it reaches a horizontal position.
• Test the turntable slewing movement in both directions (switch, Item 5) as well as the boom
telescoping movements (deployment/retraction) (switch, Item 4) before completely lowering the
boom.
4.3.1.3 Changing to work-cradle controls
• Set the key-operated switch (Item 6, photo 1) to the work-cradle position (pictogram on left).
4.3.2 Operations controlled from the work-cradle
• Climb into the work-cradle, making sure that the maximum load is not exceeded. If necessary,
distribute the weight over the entire platform.

operatives
NB: If the load is almost at maximum, the buzzer (Item 7, phot 3) will be tripped. If the maximum
load is exceeded, the controls will be inoperative. There is no load restriction in relation to reach.
4.3.2.1 Testing the control panel (photos 3/4)
Before carrying out any operations, make sure that the green light (Item 6) is ON to indicate that the
machine is switched on and that the work cradle control panel is selected.
• Ensure that the emergency stop button (Item 3) is unlocked.

• Check that the horn is working properly by pressing the green button (Item 5).
CAUTION
THE "DEAD MAN" PEDAL MUST BE BE PRESSED BEFORE ACTUATING A
CONTROL MOVEMENT.
If a movement does not work despite actuating the control and pressing the foot pedal, press the
emergency stop button and then reset it. Repeat the control taking care to actuate the foot pedal first
(Item 9).
• Adjust the position of the work-cradle if the platform is not horizontal by setting the selector switch
to position 6 (Fig. A, page 16) "Manual compensation", and moving the servo-control (2) from front
to back.
• Test telescoping, arm lifting, boom derricking and slewing movements by setting the selector in
positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Each time, actuate the servo-control from front to back.
• Direction movement obtained with the servo-control is indicated by a black arrow and a white arrow.
• Set the selector switch to position 5, corresponding to travel movement, and actuate the servo-control
from right to left to move the steering in that direction. This function is an "On/Off" control so no
gradual movement can be obtained.
• Test travel movement by actuating the servo-control this time from front to back.
Warning: When reversing the unit it is recommended that the top jib be raised to approximately
the horizontal position to provide a better line of vision in the direction of travel for
the operator in the basket.
• Test the two travel speeds by actuating the low speed/high speed selector (Item 4).
Attention: High speed is possible only if the machine is folded down. Even if slightly deployed,
only the low speed is possible.
4.4 EMERGENCY AND RESCUE OPERATIONS
4.4.1 Using hand pump for emergency movements (photo 2)
If the main source of energy fails, the operator can nevertheless carry out all the movements from the
ground.
This is done by means of a hand pump (Item 15) next to the hydraulic control blocks on the turntable.
This pump, combined with a manual control of the solenoid valve blocks, is used to lower the arm and
boom, to retract the boom telescope and to slew the turntable.

• If new batteries are fitted, recharge them after 3 or 4 hours' use and repeat this operation 3 to 5
times.
• The battery charger was factory adjusted with the cable supplied (Item 3, photo 8). If this cable has
to be replaced, make sure a cable of identical cross-section and length is used.
• Never try to service the charger during the warranty period (1 year) but contact HAULOTTE After
Sales Service if a problem arises.
4.8 BATTERY USE AND MAINTENANCE
The batteries are the energy source of your HA 12 I self-propelled platform. To get the most out of
them without any risk of premature damage, you are advised to respect the following recommendations.
4.8.1 Commissioning
• Check that electrolyte level is OK
• Avoid excessive use of the batteries during the first working cycles. Make sure the batteries are
never run down by more than 70% of the rated capacity (first red indicator bar on monitoring unit
flashes).
• The batteries give their full capacity after ten or so working cycles.
4.8.2 Discharge
• Never discharge the batteries by more than 80% of their capacity in 5 hours (two indicator bars flash
on the charge condition monitoring unit).
• Make use the monitoring unit is working properly.
• Never leave the batteries in a discharged condition.
• In cold weather, do not delay recharging as the electrolyte could freeze.
4.8.3 Recharging
• When should you recharge?
- when the batteries have been discharged between 35 and 80% of their rated capacity,
- after a long period of inactivity of the machine.
• How should you recharge?
- check that the mains voltage is suited to charger unit requirements,
- top up to minimum electrolyte level if one element has an electrolyte level lower than
this minimum,
21
- battery charging should take place in a clean, well-aired place without any naked flame in the
vicinity,
- open the battery compartment covers,
- use the on-board battery charger; it has the right charge rate for the battery capacity.
• During the charging period:
- do not remove or open the battery element plugs,
- make sure that the temperature of the battery elements does not exceed 45°C (take special care in
summer or in an area with high ambient temperature).
• After charging:
- top up the electrolyte levels, if necessary.
4.8.4 Maintenance
• Check the electrolyte levels before charging once a week during normal machine use.
• If necessary, top up levels:
- with distilled or demineralised water,
- after charging.
• Never add acid (if a battery tips over, contact HAULOTTE After Sales Service).
• Never leave discharged batteries idle.
• Avoid overflows.
• Clean the batteries to avoid the formation of salts or current tapping.
- clean the top without removing the plugs,
- dry with compressed air, clean cloths, etc.
- grease the battery lugs.
To obtain a quick diagnosis of the state of health of your batteries, record the density of each element
once a month using an acid hydrometer, in relation to temperature, using the graph below (do not take a
measurement straight after a top-up).

on a 3.5° side slope.
See § 1.12.2 of AS1418.10-1996 for additional testing details. The elevating work platform must come to
stationary condition without overturning.
WARNING:
In order safeguard the elevating platform against tipping during the stability test, it
is imperative that a restraining device such as an anchor block and chain be used
to restrain the unit during the stability test.
This chain shall not assist in stabilizing the platform prior to it reaching point of tipping should it occur for any
reason i.e. uncontrolled application of test load.
29
6 - OPERATING PROBLEMS
REMEMBER: If the machine is used according to the instructions and is properly maintained,
most trouble can be avoided. However, certain problems could occur and
before any work is carried out the operator should check whether the problem
in question is listed in the table below. The probable cause should then be
traced and the instructions followed.
If it is not listed, the Haulotte agent or the factory After Sales Service should be
contacted.
Before trying to trace the cause of a problem, make sure that:

• the battery cut-out is closed,
• the "mushroom-button" emergency stops on the turntable and work cradle are unlocked,
• the turntable console circuit-breakers are engaged,
• the relays (work cradle control panel, turntable compartment) are correctly engaged in their
supports.
The variable speed drive includes a fault indicator device with a green LED which flashes when a fault
occurs. The flashing frequency of this LED provides a means of establishing a diagnosis in relation to
the number of flashes emitted in a series. Each series is separated by a short extinction period of the
LED. There may be anything from 2 to 11 flashes. However, the LED may remain steadily lit, meaning
that everything in the variable speed drive is working correctly. If the LED remains extinguished, check
that the work cradle is powered up and then call HAULOTTE After Sales Service (cf. arrow on photo
14)
