President-Marketing.
SNORKEL MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
SNORKEL MAKES NO IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY.
The Customer shall make all warranty claims through its local Authorized Dealer and should contact the Dealer from whom
the Snorkel product was purchased for warranty service. Or, if unable to contact the Dealer, contact the Snorkel Service
Department for further assistance.
If the plat form, booms, or any other con duc tive part of an SP con tacts a high-voltage elec tri cal con duc tor,
the re sult can be SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH for per sons on or near the ma chine.
GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH DISTANCES
(M.S.A.D) - AS OUTLINED IN TABLE 1. AND FIGURE 1.,
ON THE NEXT PAGE.
Be sure to al low for sag and sway in the wires and the work plat form.
If an SP comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, the entire machine can be charged.
If that happens, you should remain on the machine and not contact any other structure or object within
reach. That includes the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any object not a part of the SP.
Such con tact could make your body a con duc tor to the other ob ject cre at ing an elec tri cal shock haz ard
re sult ing in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to enter or leave the SP until you are sure the electricity has been turned off.
If an SP is in contact with a live conductor, the platform operator MUST warn others on the ground in the
vicinity of the SP to STAY AWAY from the machine, since their bodies can also form a path for electricity to
ground thus creating an electrical shock hazard with possible ELECTROCUTION and DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to operate SP ground controls when the platform, scissors arm assembly, or any other
conducting part of the SP is in contact with electrical wires or if there is an immediate danger of such
contact.
Re gard all con duc tors as en er gized.
Personnel working on or near an SP must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing that
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with an electrical wire does occur.
Operators must check local power regulations before using the SP unit near power
lines
