The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact
with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as dened by the Minimum Safe
Approach Distance section in Chapter 3–Safety.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Allow for electrical wire sag and aerial platform sway.
If the platform, scissors structure, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage electrical
conductor, the entire machine can become electrically charged.
If that happens, remain on the machine and do not contact any other structure or object. This includes
the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the aerial platform.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock hazard
resulting in death or serious injury.
If an aerial platform is in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must warn ground
personnel in the vicinity to stay away. Their bodies can conduct electricity creating an electrical shock
hazard resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not approach or leave the aerial platform until the electricity has been turned off.
Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, scissors structure, or any part of the
aerial platform is in contact with a high-voltage electrical conductor or if there is an immediate danger
of such contact.
Personnel on or near an aerial platform must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing
that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.

placard on the platform. Do not carry loads that extend
beyond the platform guardrails without prior written consent from Snorkel.
Do not operate the aerial platform from trucks, trailers, rail-
way cars, oating vessels, scaffolds, or similar equipment
unless the application is approved in writing by Snorkel.
Do not use the aerial platform as a crane, hoist, jack or
for any purpose other than to position personnel, tools,
and materials.
Do not climb on the guardrails or use ladders, planks,
or other devices to extend or increase the work position
from the platform.
2. Remember that you might be transferring to a struc-
ture where personal fall arrest is required.
3. Use the platform entrance, do not climb over or
through the guardrails.
Electrical System
Charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area free of
ame, sparks, or other hazards that might cause re or
explosion.
Do not operate any of the aerial platform functions while
the battery charger is plugged in.
Warning
Batteries give off hydrogen and oxygen that can combine explosively. Death or serious injury could result
from a chemical explosion. Do not smoke or permit
open ames or sparks when checking the batteries.
Battery acid can damage the skin and eyes. Serious
infection or reaction could result if medical treatment
is not given immediately. Wear face and eye protection when working near the batteries.
y Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can damage your
eyes or skin on contact.
y Wear a face shield, rubber gloves, and protective
clothing when working around batteries.
y If acid contacts your eyes, ush immediately with clear
water and get medical attention.
y If acid contacts your skin, wash off immediately with
clear water.
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system contains hoses with hydraulic uid
under pressure.
Take care to prevent rope, electrical cords, and hoses,
etc., from becoming caught in or on the aerial platform.
y If the platform or scissors structure becomes caught
on an adjacent structure or other obstacle and is
prevented from normal motion, reverse the control to
free the platform.
y If control reversal does not free the platform, evacuate
the platform before attempting to free it.
It is best not to transfer from the platform to another
structure or from the structure to the platform, unless
that is the safest way to do the job. Judge each situation
separately taking the work environment into account. If
it is necessary to transfer from the platform to another
structure the following guidelines apply:
1. If you are using a fall restraint, transfer your anchorage from one structure to the other before stepping
across.
S3010E - 514226-000-ANSI 7
Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can have
enough force to inject uid into the esh. Serious
infection or reaction will result if medical treatment
is not given immediately. In case of injury by escaping hydraulic uid, seek medical attention at once.
Do not place your hand or any part of your body in front
of escaping hydraulic uid. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood to search for hydraulic leaks.
Placards and Decals
The aerial platform is equipped with placards and decals
that provide instruction for operation and accident prevention. Do not operate the aerial platform if any placards or
decals are missing, damaged, or illegible.

Chapter 4 – Safety Devices
Drive/Lift Level Sensor Interlock
The aerial platform drive and lift functions are interlocked
through a level sensor system. The drive/lift level sensor
interlock operates when the platform is elevated approximately 6′ (1.8 m).
If the chassis is tilted more than two degrees side-to-side
or more than two degrees front-to-rear, the drive and lift
functions will not operate and an alarm will sound.
Lower the platform and drive to a level surface when the
drive/lift level sensor alarm sounds.
The drive/lift level sensor system is for added protection
and does not justify operating on anything other than rm,
at, level surfaces.
Lowering Alarm
When the joystick is moved out of neutral to lower the
platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to warn
personnel in the work area to stand clear.
Danger
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death
or serious injury will result if the scissors structure
lowers onto personnel within the scissors arms or
under the raised platform. Stand clear while raising
and lowering the platform.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands and
ngers away from the scissors structures components.
Safety Prop
The safety prop (refer to Figure 4.5) is used to support
the scissors structure when access to the scissors arm
components or the chassis is required. Always use the
safety prop when the platform is raised during inspection
and maintenance.
