the machine while elevated unless

the machine is on a firm, level

surface.

ollision Hazard Fall Hazard

NEVER position the platform

without first checking for overhead

obstructions or other hazards.

NEVER climb, stand, or sit on

platform guardrails or midrail.

USE OF THE AERIAL WORK PLATFORM: This aerial work platform is intended to lift persons and his tools as well as the material
used for the job. It is designed for repair and assembly jobs and assignments at overhead workplaces (ceilings, cranes, roof struc­tures, buildings etc.). All other uses of the aerial work platform are prohibited!

THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! For this reason it is imperative to keep a

safe distance from live parts of

electrical equipment!

NEVER get closer than the minimum distance recommended by your National Regulations.

Exceeding the specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Platform Capacity” for details.

The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane is prohibited!

NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See “Manual Force” for details.

DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.

NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps, curbs, or

debris; and avoiding them.

OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of

supporting wheel loads.

NEVER operate the machine when wind speeds exceed this machine’s wind rating. “Beaufort Scale” for details.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions.

IF ALARM SOUNDS while platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower platform. Move machine to a firm, level surface.

Climbing up the railing of the platform, standing on or stepping from the platform onto buildings, steel or prefab concrete structures,
etc., is prohibited!

Dismantling the entry gate or other railing components is prohibited! Always make certain that the entry gate is closed and securely
locked!

It is prohibited to keep the entry gate in an open position when the platform is raised!

To extend the height or the range by placing of ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on

the platform is prohibited!

NEVER perform service on machine while platform is elevated without blocking elevating assembly.

INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose wire connections, and dam-

aged cables or hoses before using.

VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using.

NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.

To bypass any safety equipment is prohibited and presents a danger for the persons on the aerial work platform and in its working
range.

NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen

gas.

Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by Snorkel .

AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning the keyswitch off and removing key.

1.0 Introduction

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Service & Parts Manual is to
provide instructions and illustrations for the operation
and maintenance of the A38E Work Platform
manufactured by Snorkel. (See Figure 1-1).

SCOPE

The manual includes the procedures and
responsibilities which must be strictly adhered to for
proper operation, maintenance, adjustment, and
repair of this product. The Maintenance Section
further covers preventative maintenance and trouble
shooting.

1.1 General Information

The A38E is a quickly deployable self propelled aerial
work platform, designed to raise a specified number
of operators with hand tools to a work height of up
to 13.45 m (44.12ft.) i.e. a platform floor height of

11.45 m (37.56 ft.). It is designed to provide mobility
with the Platform in the raised or lowered position,
although travel with the Platform raised is limited to
a low speed. The boom assembly and telescope
functions are operated by a hydraulic pump driven
by a DC electric motor. Two DC electric traction
motors coupled to two braked gearboxes regulate
the drive function.

CONTROL BOX

The control box is permanently fitted at the front
centre of the platform. It features a Joystick which
will provide proportional control for raising or
lowering either of the
retracting the Telescopic Boom, rotating (slewing)
the entire Booms & Posts Assembly or driving.
A safety feature which is incorporated into the
Joystick’s operation is the Interlock Switch. This
must be activated at all times while operation is
required. This allows for one-handed operation. A
complete explanation of control functions can be

found in Section 3.

two booms, extending or

ELEVATING ASSEMBLY

The platform is raised and lowered by a combination

of two steel lift booms and one telescopic boo
each of which is operated by a hydraulic cylinder
which in turn is actuated by hydraulic power from the
motor driven pump. Solenoid operated valves control
to which cylinder the hydraulic oil is directed. Each
cylinder features an integral holding valve to prevent
uncontrolled descent in the case of a hose burst.

ROTATION GEAR

The Booms & Posts Assembly can be rotated to

provide up to 5.6 m (18.4 ft.) of side outreach,

measured from the centreline of rotation to the front

of the Platform. This is do

PLATFORM

The platform is large enough for a specified number
of operators and has a free-draining perforated floor
with 150 mm (5.9inches) toe boards. Hand rails are
constructed from steel tubing and a safety drop-bar is
provided at the entrance. Safety harness anchor points
are also fitted in the floor of the platform. The primary

Introduction & Specifications

DRIVE & STEER SYSTEMS

The A38E Work Platform is restricted to low speed
drive when the Platform is raised above the Boom
Rest Limit Switch. The Traction controller controls the
application of drive from the Joystick by means of two

ction Motors, which are assembled to the drive

Tra
wheels via a Drive Reduction Gearbox.

Steering of the A38E Work Platform is controlled by
a double acting cylinder. An Operator can Steer left
or right by depressing the Rocker Switches on top of
the Joystick, while activating the Interlock Switch.

POWER SYSTEM

The power system incorporates eight 6V batteries
driving the drive traction motors, or the 4kW (5.4HP)
electric motor which in turn drives the hydraulic
pump. The application of this hydraulic pressure is
performed by the Control System.

CONTROL SYSTEM

The machine is provided with fully proportional
controls by means of the interaction between a
P600, electron tor om ci contro l a dna rel proportional
joystick. The P600 and motor controller regulate the
drive motor/pump speed and hence the flow of oil
reaching the cylinders, the Worm Drive Unit or the
Drive Reduction Gearbox. It regulates the direction of
flow of the hydraulic oil via the solenoid valves located
on the manifold block, and it also monitors the opera­tion of all switches on the machine via the machine
harness system.
The motor control units are located, in the left hand
chassis mo

A38E PURPOSE & LIMITATIONS

The purpose of the A38E work platform is to provide a
quickly deployable variable height work platform. It is
capable of lifting a specified number of people with work
tools up to an upper limit of 215 kg (ANSI 475 lbs) in
total. The unit will provide the ability to reach over
obstacles but must be used on firm level ground.
See Specification table on page 1-3.

The platform must only be used on firm level or slightly
uneven ground capable of supporting the maximum load
generated under the four wheels. Do not use on soft or
severely sloping ground.

DANGER

NOTE: It should be recognised that if the tilt

switch senses a degree of slope greater than
3º the elevating circuits will lockout and
sound a warning alarm. The Emergency
Override should then be used, to lower the
Elevating Assembly.

CHASSIS

The chassis is a structural frame designed to support
all the components of the A38E Work Platform.

2.5 Transport by Truck

The A38E is normally carried upon a suitably rated

transportation vehicle. Because of the high

gradeability of the A38E it will be capable of driving

directly on to most vehicles. If however the loading

slope is greater than the gradeability or the batteries

have been depleted sufficiently a winch sho

used. The procedure when using a winch is to

disengage the gearbox from the drive wheels using

the Allen key release, and then winch the machine on

to the vehicle in its freewheel state.

Refer to Section 2.6 which follows.

3.0 Introduction

GENERAL FUNCTIONING

WARNING

Before beginning to operate the machine it is a
mandatory requirement to read, fully understand
and follow the Operators Manual.

The A38E Lift and Steer functions are operated by
utilising a battery powered electric motor which
drives a hydraulic pump. The pump supplies oil
under pressure to the various platform functions.

electrically activated solenoid valves (the control
of which solenoid valve activates and the rate at

electrical circuit, and its components).

The Drive function is operated by utilising two drive
motors which
Motor Controller.

NOTE:

An Interlock Trigger Switch is an integral part of the
Joystick. This must be depressed for the functions to
operate. This will energise the Line Contactor and enable
electrical control. (This safety feature prevents
inadvertent activation of all powered functions, in the
case of accidental movement of the Joystick.)

DRIVING

Platform controls provide variable speeds for the
drive function through the use of a Joystick. This is
achieved using a motor control unit which varies the
speed of the two DC electric traction motors. To drive
the A38E there are a number of steps which need be
taken. First the operator should ensure that neither of
the Emergency Stop Buttons are pressed, then the

If a boom is raised off the Boom Rest Limit Switch
the current to the drive motors will be reduced leading
to a significantly slower drive speed. This is a safety
feature. The drive wheels are driven by two DC
electric traction motors coupled to two braked
gearboxes. When the Joystick is in the neutral
position the brake chamber is free of oil and the
internal spring within the gearbox maintains the
braking pressure. Upon moving the Joystick the
brake chambers will receive a flow of pressurised
oil which will release the brakes.

STEERING

Platform controls also provide a steering function
through the use of ‘Rocker’ activated Steering

Switches in the Joystick. This is achieved by using the

machine the Rocker should be pushed to the left or

depressed. Steering left or right will energise the
steering coils and allow oil to enter the full bore side
or annular side of the steering cylinder, there by
turning the wheels in the chosen direction. The
orientation of the Platform to the Chassis will
determine the direction the machine will travel when
the Joystick is engaged.

OPERATING THE BOOMS

Boom functions, including the telescopic and slewing
functions, can be operated either from the Platform
Controls or the Chassis Controls.

Operation

It will be noticed that on the Upper Control Box a set
of switches are used to alternate functions. Each
function will have it’s corresponding graphicand lamp.
This selector switch indicates to the Controller which
function is required and by using the Joystick the
speed of this selected function can be adjusted.

The boom functions on the chassis controls provide
proportional control for each function by way of an
analog rocker switch, the desired function can be
activated by holding on
controls and and operating the analog rocker, the

one of four switches on the

the four switchs act as both selector & enable

switches.

The use of these functions is further explained
throughout this Section.

DESIGN FEATURES

The A38E Series Work Platform has the following
features:

The drive speed is limited to a ‘creep speed’ when
operating the Work Platform while the machine is
elevated.

The energy-efficient motor control units provides
long battery life and smooth proportional control of
the boom and drive functions.
All cylinders are fitted with hydraulic hose-burst
protection interlocks.
The on-board charger is fully automatic and
charges the batteries efficiently and economically.
If the work platform starts to become unstable and
the Tilt Sensor is activated an alarm will sound in

the upper control box. In this situation power is
partially cut to the upper controls to prevent any
boom movements (i.e. UP, TELE OUT) that might
increase instability. An emergency override switch
is fitted to allow the booms to be lowered at a
controlled speed to bring the machine back to a
stable position.

In the event of a power loss the two Boom Lift
Cylinders are fitted with emergency lowering

valves which allow the booms to be lowered at a
controlled speed by an operator on the ground.

A Master Cylinder/Slave Cylinder levelling system
ensures that the Platform remains level throughout
the entire working cycle of the machine.
A manual rotation facility is fitted to allow rotation of
the Elevating Assembly in the event of power loss.

HOUR METER & BATTERY CHARGE
INDICATOR.

The A38E Series Work Platform is equiped with a

display in the chassis control panel which displays
total hours run & an Indication of remaining battery
charge.

LOAD SENSI NG

The A38E is fitted with a load sensing system de­signed to comply with the requirements of :

3. Remove wrench.

Before operating the Emergency
Lowering Valves the surrounding
area should first be cleared of any
potential obstructions. It is also
important that when the valve is
pushed, it is initially done slowly.
This is so that sudden movement
will not occur in the Elevating
Assembly, leading to a potentially
unstable machine.

4.2 Battery Maintenance

Electrical energy for the motor is supplied by eight 6
volt batteries wired in series to give a 48 volts DC
supply. Each of these batteries consist of three cells
which can supply a maximum voltage of 2.1V ea
=>6.3V per battery =>50.4V per battery pack. Proper
care and maintenance of the batteries and motor will
ensure maximum performance from the work
platform.

CLEANING

Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work
platform is being used in a warm, dry climate. If
required, add distilled water; use of tap water with a
high mineral content will shorten battery life.

W A R N I N G

If battery water level is not maintained,
batteries will not fully charge, creating a low

Batteries should be inspected periodically for signs of
cracks in the cases, electrolyte leakage and
corrosion of the terminals. Inspect cables for worn
spots or breaks in the insulation and for broken cable
terminals.

Clean batteries that show signs of corrosion at the
terminals or onto which electrolyte has overflowed
during charging. Use a baking soda solution to clean
the batteries, takin
the cells. Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water.
Clean battery and cable contact surfaces to a bright
metal finish whenever a cable is removed.

W A R N I N G

DO charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT charge batteries in the vicinity of
sparks or flames.
NEVER leave charger operating unattended
for more than two days.
NEVER disconnect cables from batteries
when charger is operating.
Permanent damage to batteries will result if
they are not immediately recharged after

Maintenance

All Snorkel battery operated Work Platforms,
including the A38E can operate at ambient
temperatures to a value of -20ºC (-4ºF). However for
this there are two provisions which must be met.

The ISO#46 grade of hydraulic oil normally used in
Snorkel Work Platforms must be replaced with a
grade suitable for these low temperature conditions.

When ambient temperatures fall below 18ºC
(65ºF) batteries cannot deliver 210 Ampere hours and
so should be placed on charge as soon after use as
possible. Under such conditions a 4 hour equalize
charge once a week in the early afternoon will
improve state of charge and battery life.

Charging

1. Check battery fluid level. If electrolyte level is

lower than 10 mm (3/8 in) above plates add
distilled water only.

2. Connect battery charger lead

BATTERY CELL EQUALIZATION

Specific Gravity is a measurement of the strength of
the electrolyte in a battery and is measured using a
hydrometer. For a fully charged battery the
temperature corrected reading should be about 1.28.
The specific gravity of the electrolyte in the battery
cells should be equalized monthly, or weekly when
used in low temperature conditions. To do this,
charge batteries as described above. After this initial
charge, check the electrolyte level in all cells and add
distilled water as necessary, and turn the charger on
until a full charge is again indicated. During this time,
the charging current will be low (four Am

After equalization, the specific gravity of each cell

should be 1.28. If any corrected readings are below

1.23, the batteries contain bad cells and therefore the

5. Brushes should always be replaced in complete

sets of four or eight. Use identical replacement
parts; do not substitute brush grades as the
are matched to the motor type and application to
provide the best service. Substituting brushes of

wrong grade can cause premature

the

commutator failure and excessive brush wear.

6. Carefully release the brush springs allowing the
brushes to contact the commutator.
Brushes should be checked for proper tention

(Figure 4-13)

WARNING

Before carrying out any maintenance
procedures on the electric motor ensure that
the electric circuit is disconnected i.e.
disconnect the batteries and unplug the
charger. It is also important that when dealing
with batteries the proper safety precautions
are adhered to. There is always a hazard of
sparks or explosive gas.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Read the nameplate to become familiar with the

motor, especially the rated voltage.

2. Try to turn the shaft by hand. Keep motor lea

separated while doing this. If the shaft turns

freely go to step 3. If the shaft won’t turn,
proceed to step 2A.

2A. The shaft could be tight for a number of

reasons , this check is to determine if the
tightness is of a temporary nature only. Obtain
power to produce the nameplate voltage. Do
not make a permanent connection.
First touch the motor leads quickly to the power
supply just long enough to observe if the shaft
runs. If it does turn, then hold the motor le
on the power
motor sounds normal , go to step 3.
If the motor is noisy it should be taken apart as
described in the DISASSEMBLY section.

3. If the motor turned freely, connect an ammeter

in the circuit as shown in Figure 4-12. With
rated voltage applied and the shaft running free,
the ammeter should read less than 20% of the
nameplate full load current. If the motor meets
the above conditions then it can be assumed
that the original problem is external to the
motor.

INSPECTION

Once the motor has been disassembled, go through
the following check list steps to determine where the
problem lies.

1. Bearings should spin smoothly and easily and
have ample lubr

2. Armature should be checked for grounds and
shorted Windings. Refinish commutator
surface if pitted or excessively worn.

3. Brushes should be checked for wear and to
ensure that they are free in the brush holders.
NOTE: Observe how the brushes are
assembled in brush holders and position of
brush lead. New brushes must be installed in
same manner. Brushes should be removed as

3. Place the bearing spring into the bearing bore.

4. Take a complete armature assembly, including
bearings, and insert commutator end bearing
into the bearing bore.
Note: Do not reuse bearings which have been
removed from armature shaft. Keep assembly
in a vertical position. Use extreme care not to
damage armature with bearing pullers. New
bearings should be installed by pressing inner
race of bearing onto proper position on
armature shaft.

5. Set the brushes to final position and lock with
springs.

6. Place the complete stator down over the
vertical armature, and into position on the

commutator cover.

7. The stator assembly must be placed in a

definite relationship with the commutator covers
in order to obtain a neutral brush setting. There
is a match-mark on both items. These two
marks must line up exactly.
Rotate until they do.

4.12 Drive Reduction Gearbox
(Figure 4-14)

As with most gearboxes oil changes must be carried
out at regular intervals. Initially this should be done
after the first 50/100 working hours and then
subsequently every 500 working hours or at least
every 12 months.

For this gearbox the minimum recommended
viscosity index is 95. Depending on the ambient
temperature of the work place the viscosity index
should vary as follows:

Ambient Temperature Viscosity Index

(ISO 3448)

o

C (-4oF) / 5oC (41oF) VG 100

5

C (41oF) / 30oC (86oF) VG 150

o

30

C (86oF) / 50oC (122oF)

VG 320

During oil change, we recommend that the inside of
the Gearcase is flushed out with flushing fluid
recommended by the lubricant manufacturer.
Oil should be changed when hot to prevent a build up
of sludge deposit. It is advisable to check the oil level
at least once per month. If more than 10% of total oil
capacity has to be added, check for oil leaks.
Do not mix oils of different types even of the same
make.
Never mix mineral and synthetic oi

ls.

CAUTION

Service Engineers must be aware of the
dangers during an oil change involving hot
oil i.e. scalding. The Service Engineer must
also be responsible when disposing of the
discarded oil. This should be done in
accordance with local environmental
regulations.

CHANGING THE OIL

Unless an oil suction system can be used, it is
necessary to remove the gearbox to fully drain the oil.

1. The A38E should be driven for five minutes in
order to bring the oil up to working temperature.

2. The Electric Traction Motor must be
disconnected from the Gearbox.

WARNING

Disconnect the batteries when working near
the traction motors.

3. Unscrew the four bolts that hold the traction
motor to the Gearbox and pull the Motor away
from the rear face of the Gear

4. Disconnect the brake hose from the brake port
on the Gearbox and plug to avoid excessive oil
spillage and contamination.

5. Loosen the five wheel nuts securing the Wheel
Assembly to the Gearbox studs.

6. Jack up the rear of the A38E and chock the
front wheels to prevent the machine from
moving during the service.

7. Remove the Wheel Assembly by unscrewing
the five wheel nuts

8. Unscrew the eight securing bolts that hold the
Gearbox to the Chassis, and remove th
Gearbox, noting its orientation on the ch
before removal.

9. Remove the oil filler and drain plugs from the
front (stud) face of the Gearbox.

10. Stand the Gearbox vertically (studs facing
down) in a suitable oil disposal container and
allow the oil to drain fully.

11. The Gearbox needs to be half filled which
requires approximately 0.9 Litres (0.23 Gallons
US) of oil. To check this level, rotate the
Gearbox into the horizontal position with one of
the filler/drain plug holes in the 3 O’ Clock
position and the other plug
fig 4-14 ). When the Gearbox is half full oil will
just start to trickle out the plug hole in the 3
O’Clock position.

12. Insert and tighten both plugs and clean the
surfaces of the gearbox.

13. Reattach the Gearbox to the Chassis in its

original position with the eight securing bolts.

BLEEDING THE MASTER/SLAVE
LEVELLING CIRCUIT

When air enters the Master/Slave Levelling circuit the
Slave Levelling Cylinder is prevented from following
the master cylinder precisely. If it seems there may
be air in the system the following procedures should
be followed.

1. While outside the Platform activate the Levelling
Switch function and level the cage in the for­ward direction. Continue this until, and for 30
seconds after, the Platform comes to a stop.

2. Activate the Levelling function in the backward
direction. Continue this until, and for 30
seconds after, the Platform comes to a stop.
Care must be taken that the Platform Cage
does not impact on the ground. Repeat this

procedure until the cage becomes level when

elevated.
The above two procedures have the effect of
‘Priming’ the Levelling Circuit. Test to see if the Slave

Cylinder is operating correctly. If not follow the
procedures below.

3. Ensure the Elevating Assembly is fully stowed
and the booms are in their rest position.

4. Remove securing bolts and pin lock plates from
the rod end cylinder pin of the Master Cylinder.

5. Remove the rod end pivot pin. Move cylinder
backwards and allow to hang

4.20 Adjustment of Overcentre
Valves on A38E Lift Cylinders
(Figure 4-22)

The valve supplier delivers the Overcentre valve
preset to specification and SHOULD NOT be
adjusted by the user.
In the event of the valve having been tampered with
the advisable course of action is to fit a replacement
cartridge.

A short term solution is to temporarily adjust the
valve as follows :­a) Place the max. SWL (Safe Working Load),

evenly distributed, in the cage.

b) Raise the boom to 50 mm stroke on the

cylinder.

c) First loosen the Locknu

Key adjust the spring setting screw on the valve
cartridge. Turning the screw clockwise
increases the pressure setting. Turning the
screw anticlockwise reduces the setting and
allows the boom to creep downwards. Adjust
the spring setting until the boom just begins to
creep downwards.

d) Screw the adjuster 1 (one) further turn

clockwise and secure Locknut.

This operation should only be carried out by
suitably qualified and/or

t, then using an Allen

experienced personnel.

The Overcentre Valves are located towards the Rod End
of the Lower Lift and Upper Lift Cylinders.

CAUTION

An incorrectly adjusted valve may cause
one of the following:-

Cylinder drifts down under load less than the
SWL (Safe Working Load).
Jerky motion in cylinder & boom when lowering.

Pump under high load when lowering.
Valve does not hold load if hose connections
are loosened or broken.

When troubleshooting, ensure that the work
platform is resting on a firm, level surface.
Disconnect the batteries when replacing or
testing the continuity of any electrical
component.
When performing any service on or in the
elevating

assembly area, which requires the
platform to be raised, the elevating assembly
must be securely supported by overhead
cranes, or equivalent, of suitable capacity.

GENERAL PROCEDURE

Each malfunction is followed by a list of probable
causes which will enable determination of the
remedial action.
The Probable causes and remedial action should
be followed in the order in which they are listed in
the following tables.

Note that the majority of problems will be related
to the electrical and hydraulic systems.
For this reason much attention has been paid to
these areas in the troubleshooting charts.
The lists are not guarenteed to include all possible
causes and remedies. The immediately obvious
causes and remedies are not necessarily listed.

1. Verify your problem.

• Do a full function test from both the platform
and chassis controls, and note all functions that
are not operating correctly.

2. Narrow the possible causes of the malfunction.

• Use the troubleshooting guide to determine
which components are common to all circuits that
are not functioning correctly.

3. Identify the problem component.

• Test components that are common to all circuits
that are not functioning correctly. Remember to
check wires and terminals between suspect
components, be sure to check connections to
battery negative.

4. Repair or replace any component found to be

faulty.

5. Verify that repair is complete.

• Do a full function test from both the platform and
the chasssis controls to verify that all fun
