Electrical Hazard

DANGER

Electrical Hazard

Iftheplatform, scissorsarmassembly,or anyotherconductivepartof anSRTcontactsa high-voltageelec trical conductor, the result can be SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH for persons on or near the machine.

GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH DISTANCES

(M.S.A.D) - AS OUTLINED IN TABLE 1. AND FIGURE 3.,

ON THE NEXT PAGE.

Be sure to allow for sag and sway in the wires and the work platform. If an SRT 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 SRT. Suchcontactcould makeyour body a conductor to the other object creating an electrical shock hazard re

sulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. DO NOT attempt to enter or leave the SRT until you are sure the electricity has been tur ned off. IfanSRTisincontactwithaliveconductor,theplatformoperatorMUST warnotherson thegroundinthe vi

cinity of the SRTto STAY AWAY from the machine, since their bodies can also form a path for electricity to ground thus creating an electr ical shock hazard with possible ELECTROCUTION and DEATH.

DO NOT attempt to operate SRTground controls when the platform, scissors arm assembly, or any other conductingpartof the SRTis in contactwith electr ical wires or ifthereis an immediatedangerof such con tact.

Regard all conductors as energized. Personnelworking on or near an SRT must be continuously awareof electrical hazards, recognizing that

SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with an electrical wire does occur.

Safe Operation

The followingsafetyinformation is vitally important forsafeoperation ofthe SRT.Failuretofollowthese instructionscanresult inpersonalinjuryorDEATH.

1. Safety

A recommended safety practice is to have person nel that are trained in the operation of the emer gencycontrolsworking intheimmediate areaofthe SRT to assist the platform operator in the event of an emergency.

Pre-start Inspection

❑

At the start of each work shift, the SRT shall be givena visual inspection and function test.See the “Daily Inspection and Maintenance” chapter 7, in this manual for a list of items to inspect and test.

CAUTION

DO NOT operate the SRT unless you are

trained and authorized, understand the operation characteristics of the SRT, and have inspected and tested all functions to be sure they are in proper working order.

Work Place Inspection and Practices

❑

Do not use the SRT as a ground for welding. Ground to the work piece.

Before the SRT is used, and during use, check the area in which the SRT is to be used for possible hazards such as, but not limited to:

1. Drop-offs or holes.

2. Side slopes.

3. Bumps and floor obstructions.

4. Debris.

5. Overhead obstructions and electrical conductors.

6. Hazardous locations.

7. Inadequate surface and support to withstand all load forces imposed by the aerial platform in all operating configurations.

8. Wind and weather conditions.

9. Presence of unauthorized persons.

10. Other possible unsafe conditions.

Before the SRT is used, determine the hazard clas sification of any particular atmosphere or location according to ANSI/NFPA 505-1987.

AnySRT operatedinahazardous location must be approved and of the type required by ANSI/NFPA 505-1987.

When moving the platform, check the clearance around the SRT to avoid contact with structures or other hazards. Always look in the direction of mo tion.

Keep ground personnel from under the platform when the platform is raised.

Secureallaccessories,containers,tools,andother materials in the platform to preventthem from acci dentally falling or being kicked off the platform.

DONOTengageinany formof“horseplay”or“stunt driving” while operating the SRT.

DO NOT permit riders on the machine anyplace other than on the platform.

Remove all loose objects stored in or on the machine, particularly in the platform. Remove all objects which do not belong in or on the machine.

When other moving equipment is in the area, take special precautions to comply with local regulations regarding warnings.

Never steady the platform by positioning it against another platform.

DO NOT operate an SRT that is not functioning properly, or has been damaged, until the machine has been repaired by a qualified maintenance per son.

DO NOT operate a SRT that does not have all its decals and placards attached and legible.

Drivethemachine withcare andatspeedscompat iblewith conditions.Use extracaution when driving over rough ground, on slopes, and when turning.

Know and understand the job site traffic-flow pat terns and obey the flagmen, road signs, and sig nals.

Watchforbystanders and neverallowanyone tobe

under, or to reach through, the machine and its

equipment while operating. Use the recommended transport device when

loading the machine.

1. Safety

Electrocution

❑

The SRT is an all metal, NON-INSULATED, aerial work platform. DO NOToperate it near ELECTRICAL conductors. Regard all conductors as being energized.

DO NOT operate outside during a thunderstorm.

Tipover and Falling Hazards

❑

On scissor lifts, like the SRT, personal fall protec tion is not required by ANSI, Fedral OSHA, AS1418-10-1996, NZ Code of Practice for Ele vating Work Platforms, nor Snorkel. However, fall restraint might be required by work regulations. If so,theuser isresponsible forfitnessand method of use.

DONOToperatethe SRTfroma positionontrucks, trailers, railway cars, floating vessels, scaffolds, or similar equipment unless the application is ap proved in writing by Snorkel.

If the platform or elevating assembly becomes caught,snagged, or otherwise preventedfrom normalmotion by anadjacentstructureor other obstacles such that control reversal does not free the platform, remove all personnel from the platform beforeattemptsare madeto freethe platformusing ground controls.

Under normal working conditions it is best not to transfer from the platform to another structure or vice versa, unless that is the safest way to do the job.Each situation must be judged separately taking the work environment into account. The following guidelines apply:

1. Where possible, place the work platform next to a roof or walking structure to do the transfer.

2. Transfer your anchorage from one structure to another before you step across.

3. Remember, you might be departing the work platform to a structure where fall arrest is required.

DO NOT climb the rails. Use the entrance.

DO NOTexceed the platform capacity nor the plat

form-extensioncapacity asindicated on the capac ity placards located at the entrance to the platform and on the toeboard of the platform extension.

Care shall be taken to preventrope, electric cords, and hoses, etc., from becoming entangled in the aerial platform.

Maintain a fir m footing on the platform floor. Climbing on the guardrails is prohibited.

DO NOT use ladders, planks, or other devices to extendorincrease yourworkposition fromthe plat form.

DO NOTjerk the controls.Movethe controlsslowly and deliberately to avoid jerky and erratic opera

tion.Alwaysstop the controls in theneutral, off, po sition before going in the opposite direction.

DO NOT use the platform for any purpose other than to position personnel, their tools, and materi als.

DO NOT use the SRT as a crane, hoist, or jack.

DONOToperatetheSRTinwinds,orwind gusts,of 28 mph 12.5 m/s) or more.

DO NOTadd anything to the SRT that will increase the wind loading (banners, flags, etc.).

Crushing

❑

Always look in the direction of travel. Avoid overhead obstructions.

Nevercover the floor grating or otherwise obstruct your view below.

Make sure the area below the platform is free of personnel before lowering.

■

General Safety Precautions

❑

Personnel Precautions

If you encounter any suspected malfunction of the aerial platform, or any hazard or potentially unsafe condition relating to capacity,intended use, or safe operation, cease operation and seek assistance from management.

❑

Operator General Precautions

Makesure that all protective guards, cowlings,and doors are in place and secure.

Be sure the guardrail system, including the gate, is in place and secure.

DO NOT raise the platform if the SRT is on soft ground.Operate the platform only onafirmsurface capable of withstanding all load forces imposed by the aerial platform in all operating conditions.

Do Not carry loads from any point outside of the platform.

1. Safety

Mounting and Dismounting Precautions

❑

Use three points of support when getting on or off theplatform(two handsandone footora similarset of points). Keep the platform clean.

DO NOT jump off the machine. DONOTdismountwhilethemachineisinmotion.

Starting and Stopping Precautions

❑

DO NOT start until all personnel are clearly away from the machine.

Beforeleavingtheoperator’sstation, place the ma chine in the stowed position.

When leaving the machine parked or unattended, removethe starter keyfrom the Key switchand set the Battery switch to off.

Operating Precautions

❑

DO NOT modify the SRT in any way. Whenpartsorcomponentsare replaced,theyshall

be identical or equivalent to original Snorkel parts or components.

DO NOT override any of the safety features of the SRT.

❑

Operator Maintenance Precautions

DO NOTfill the fuel tank tocapacity.Allow room for

expansion. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If the fuel cap is

lost, replace it with an approved cap from Snorkel. Use of a non-approved cap without proper venting may result in pressurization of the tank.

Never use fuel for cleaning purposes. For diesel engines, use the correct fuel grade for

the operating season.

■

Safety Decals and Placards

There are several safety decals and placards on the SRT. Their locations and descriptions are shown in this section. Take time to study them.

CAUTION

Be sure that all the safety decals and placards on the SRT are legible. Clean or replace them if you cannot read the words or see the pictures.Clean with soap & water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents.

You MUST replace a decal or placard if it is damaged, missing, or cannot be read. If it is on a part that is replaced, make sure a new decal or placard is installed on the replaced part. See your Snorkel dealer for new decals and placards.

CAUTION

DO NOT use your hand to search for hydraulic

oil leaks.High pressure hydraulic oil can easily cut and penetrate your skin—averyserious injury that requires immediate attention by a medical specialist trained in that type of injury. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for hydraulic oil leaks.

DO NOT attempt repairs unless you are trained.Refer to manuals and experienced repair personnel for help.

❑

Fuel Handling Precautions

DONOTsmokeorpermitopenflames whilefueling

or near fueling operations. Neverremove the fuel cap or refuel a gasoline en

gine while the engine is runningor hot.Neverallow fuel to spill on hot machine components.

Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling the tank.

Refer to Placards and Decals Inspection Chart and Drawing in the “Daily Inspection and Maintenance” chapter 7, for part numbers, location, and required quantities of all placards and decals.

There are two alarms on an SRT.One is located in the platform control box, the other is located in the ground control box.

SRT2670 – 11360A page 2 - 1

Page 18

2. Safety Devices

Ground control box

❑

The alarms are connected in parallel, they both emit the same pattern of sound at the same time. The different alarm sound patterns are shown in the table immediately below and discussed below the table.

Level sensor

❑

The level sensor alarm warns the SRT operator that the SRT is not level. If the tilt continues to in crease, the SRT will eventually tip over. When you hear this alarm, immediately lower the platform completely down. When the platform is completely down, determine and correct the cause of the tilt before raising the platform again.

While the alarm is sounding it is not possible to drive the SRT nor raise the platform

Lowering

❑

Thelowering alarm warns people near an SRTthat the platform is coming down and the scissor arm assembly is closing.

High temperature

❑

Thehigh-temperature alarm warns youthat the engine is overheating. When the alarm sounds you should immediately lower the platform completely downthenturn theengineoff untilthecondition that caused the overheating has been corrected. (See “AutomaticShut-Offs & Circuit Breakers”chapter 5 for more information.)

The high-temperature, low oil-pressure, and alter nator not-charging alar ms are each a continuous tone.

The DRIVE (forward) and the platform-lowering alarms beep at one beep per second. DRIVE (re verse) beeps at two beeps per second. The level sensor alarm is a high-low warbling sound.

❑

Low oil pressure

The low pressure alarm warns you that the engine oilpressure isnear the lowerlimitfor safeoperation of the engine. When the alarm sounds you should immediately lower the platform completely down then turn the engine off until the condition that caused the low oil pressure has been corrected. (See “Automatic Shut-Offs & Circuit Breakers” chapter 5 for more information.)

❑

Drive (reverse)

The DRIVE (reverse) alarm alerts people that the SRT is traveling backward along the ground. This

alarm beeps twice as fast as the DRIVE (forward) alarm.

❑

Drive (forward)

The DRIVE (forward) alarm alerts people that the SRT is traveling forward along the ground. This alarm beeps half as fast as the DRIVE (reverse) alarm.

Theindicator stays at its highestsetting, it does not go to the bottom of the gauge when the engine is turned off or the filter changed. After the filter is changed, press the small reset button to reset the indicator to the bottom of the gauge.

■

Amps

The water gauge is located on the ground control box. It shows the temperature of the water-antifreezemixture in the engine block.The typical operating-temperature range for Kubota enginesis 180°F to205°F (82°C to96°C), both diesel and gasoline.(See the “Automatic Shut-Offs & Circuit Breakers ” chapter 5 for more information.)

■

Air Filter

The AMPS gauge shows the electric current from the alternator to the battery. When the engine is running, the needle in the AMPS gauge should not be to the left of “0.” Under normal operating conditions, after the engine has been running for a few minutes, the AMPS gauge should read “0.”

The air filter gauge is located between the air filter and the intake manifold.The gauge measures the vacuum(air pressure) between the intake manifold and the air filter. As the filter clogs, the vacuum in creases (pressure drops). As the vacuum in creases, a red indicator raises toward the clear area of the gauge.When you can see the indicator inthecleararea ofthegauge,it’stimetochange the air filter.

■

Engine Oil

Engine oil levelis measured with a dipstick. Oil ca pacities given in the “Specifications” chapter 3 are approximate.True values will vary from machine to machine due to slight variations or modifications during production.

The oil dipstick is the only way to accurately gauge if the engine oil level is correct.

Engine oil level should always be between the lines on the dipstick - never above the top line or below the bottom line.

Gasoline Diesel

The HOURS gauge is basically an electric clock.It accumulates time only when the engine is running.

The HOURS gauge cannot be reset. An

SRT-qualifiedservicetechnician usesitto tellwhen it is time for the periodic maintenance listed in the Maintenance Manual.

■

Hydraulic Oil Level

The hydraulic-oil level gauge is on the side of the hydraulic oil tank. It shows the actual level of oil in side the tank. Read it only when the platform is completely down. Otherwise, the lift cylinders be come large reservoirs for hydraulic oil and the oil level in the tank will be low.The oil level should be within ( 0.25 inches (( 6.4 mm) of the line.

The only optional-equipment controls discussed in this chapter are the controls for: diesel engines, dual-fuelengines,LP-onlyengines,andoutriggers.

See the “Emergency Operation” chapter 9 for the location of the emergency bleed down control and for correct emergency bleed down procedures.

The main operating functions of an SRT can be controlled from the ground control box (1) or the platform control box (2).

SRT2670 – 11360A page 6 - 1

Page 34

6. Controls

■

Hydraulic Compar tment

Battery Switch: This must be ON for the engine to start. When the battery switch is OFF the positive side of the SRT battery is disconnected from the electrical system. Lock this switch OFF when the SRT is left unattended.

■

Ground Control Box

Controls for operating an SRT from the ground are located on the right side ofthe machine on the rear of the hydraulic compar tment.

The number of each control below corresponds to the control’s call-out on the next page.

Emergency Stop: Press the red switch-cover down, at any time, under any conditions, and the entire machine stops the engine turns off and nothing moves. This switch must be up for anything on the machine to work.

Key Switch: This switch works like an automobile ignition switch.Hold the key at the start symbol (extreme clockwise position) until the engine starts then release it to the on position (bar symbol).Turn the key to off (O) if the platform is to stay in one position for a long time.That will turn the engine off and save fuel.

Choke Indicator Light (gasoline engines only): This light will be lit while you choke the engine (see CHOKE below).

Glow-Plug Indicator Light (diesel engines only): This light will be on while the glow plugs are on. Wait, about 30 seconds for the light to go out before you try to start a diesel.

Choke (gasoline engines only): Hold the choke switch up anytime you start a gasoline engine that is at ambient air temperature (a “cold” engine).

Glow Plug (diesel engines only): This is a momentary contact switch. Press it up then release it just before you start a diesel engine that is at ambient air temperature (a “cold” engine). This action automatically causes glow plugs to come on for 30 seconds to warm the inside top of each cylinder, thus aiding combustion.

Hydraulic Oil Warm-Up:When the ambient air temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and SRT movement is sluggish because of cold hydraulic oil, turn the warm-up switch on (up) for 5 to 10 minutes or until the hydraulic oil tank is warm to the touch then turn the switch off (down).For the warm-up system to work, the engine must be running.

While the warm-up system is on, do not attempt to move the SRT in any way.

Lift Indicator Light: The platform can be raised only when this light is lit. When this light is not lit the platform will not rise because: the platform is not level, or the outriggers are not properly set.

Platform Lift/Lower: Holding this switch up causes the platform to rise. Pushing this switch down causes the platform to lower.

Fuel (option): Before starting a dual-fuel engine set the FUEL switch to gasoline (up) or LP gas (down) depending on which you want to use. If you select LP gas, be sure to open the valve on top the LP gas tank.

Ground/Platform Selector: Must be down for the ground control box to work. Must be up for the platform control box to work.

Platform Control Box

Controlsforoperatingan SRTfromthe platformare located on the platform control box.

The number of each control below corresponds to the control’s call-out on the next page.

Emergency Stop: Press the red button in at any time, under any conditions, and the entire machine stops - the engine turns off and nothing moves. This switch must be out (on) to start and run the SRT from the platform control box, turn the switch clockwise and it will pop out (on). Press the switch in (off) if the platform is to stay in one position for a long time. That will turn the engine off and save fuel.

Safety Control The SAFETY CONTROL must be squeezed against the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER to activate the joystick controller.If the safety control is not squeezed the joystick controller is inoperative.

Joystick Controller If the LIFT/DRIVE SELECTOR is set to the left (lift function), pushing the joystick controller forward causes the platform to rise, pulling the joystick controller backward causes the platform to lower. If the LIFT/DRIVE SELECTOR is set to the right (drive function), pushing the joystick controller forward causes the SRT to move forward, pulling the joystick controller backward causes the SRT to move backward.The further you push or pull the controller the faster the motion (except lowering-it occurs at one speed only).

The EMERGENCY STOP switch on the ground control box overrides the one on the platform control box.If the one on the ground control box is off the SRT will not start or run, it does not make any difference whether the one on the platform control box is on or off.

Start Press and hold the switch in to start the engine.As soon as the engine starts, release the switch.

Choke (gasoline engines only): Press and hold the switch in anytime you start a gasoline engine that is at ambient air temperature (a “cold” engine).

Glow-Plug (diesel engines only): This is a momentary contact switch. Press it up then release it just before you start a diesel engine that is at ambient air temperature (a “cold” engine). This action automatically causes glow plugs to come on for 30 seconds to warm the inside top of each cylinder, thus aiding combustion.

Choke Indicator Light (gasoline engines only): This light will be lit while you choke the engine.

Glow-Plug Indicator Light (diesel engines only): This light will be on while the glow plugs are on. Wait for the light to go out before you try to start a diesel.

Squeeze the SAFETY CONTROL anytime you use the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER.

Steering The rocker switch on top of the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER turns the front wheels left or right depending upon which side of the switch you press.

The wheels do not return to straight ahead, after a turn, the way automobile wheels do. You must use the STEERING switch to straighten the wheels after a turn.

Lift/Drive Selector When this switch is set to the left the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER becomes a lift/lower controller to raise or lower the platform. When this switch is set to the right the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER becomes a drive controller to drive the SRT forward or backward.The SRT will not drive and lift at the same time.

Speed Set the switch to turtle (slow) when you are working in close quarters or if you are new to the machine. Setting the switch to rabbit (fast) doubles the top speed of the SRT.

10.

AC Outlet Switch (option): This is an on/off switch for the 230 V ac hydraulically powered generator.When the switch is on, the outlet box at the platform is energized.

Operating Procedures

This chapter explains how to start and run an SRT that has either a gasoline or diesel engine.Starting a gasoline engine that is set up to burn LP-only or dual-fuel is also discussed in this chapter. Read and understand all the previous chapters before you begin to operate an SRT

■

Control Stations

An SRT can be started and operated from the groundcontrolboxorfromtheplatformcontrolbox.

The ground control box can override the platform control box at any time. If a person operating the machine from the platform becomes incapacitated, a person on the ground can always take over machine control.

DANGER

The SRT is not Electrically insulated.

■

Emergency Stopping

To stop an SRT, push either Emergency Stop switch,at any time on either the groundcontrol box or the platform control box and the entire machine stops and nothing moves.

Death or Serious Injury to operating personnel, can occur if the machine should come into contact with energized electrical wires during operation.

DO NOT attempt to operate the SRT ground controls if the platform, scissor assembly or any other conducting part of an SRT is in contact with energized electrical wires or if there is an immediate danger of such contact.

See the “Electrical Hazard” section, in this manual for a complete explanation of the hazards concerning electricity.

8. Operation

■

Operation Considerations

To use this chapter, first decide whether you will be starting and operating the SRT from the ground control box or the platform control box.

Begin at the section entitled “Operating From The Ground control Box” if you intend to start and run the SRT from the ground control box.

Begin at the section entitled “Operating From The Platform Control Box”if you intend to start and run the SRT from the platform.

Fuel type

❑

After you have made the “ground control / platform control” decision you need to know whether the SRThasagasoline ordiesel engine.Ifit hasa “gas oline”engine you further need to know whether it is setup tobur n LP-only,or dual-fuel(LP or gasoline). If it is set up to burn dual-fuel you have to decide whetherto burn gasoline orLP.Thesimplest wayto tell what kind of engine set up you haveis to look in the fuel compartment on the left side of the SRT — open both fuel compartment doors.

●

If the only fuel source you see there is a tank labeled GASOLINE FUEL, the SRT has a gasoline engine set up to burn gasoline.

To start agasoline,LP-only,or dual-fuel (LP & gas oline)enginefrom theground controlboxdo thefol lowing:

Set the Battery switch (1) to on.

●

If the only fuel source you see is a tank labeled DIESEL FUEL, the SRT has a diesel engine.

●

If the only fuel source you see is one or more LP tanks, the SRT has a special gasoline engine set up to burn LP-only.

●

If you see a GASOLINE FUEL tank and one or more LP tanks, the SRT has a special gasoline engine set up to burn either gasoline or LP.

Once you have determined the type of engine in stalled and the type of fuel you will burn youshould go to the corresponding subsection that explains how to start that type engine. Read the “Table Of Contents”at the front of this manual to seehow the different sections and subsections of this chapter are arranged.

Setting the SPEED to rabbit doubles the travel speed. (See the “Specifications” chapter 1 for speeds of different models.)

Set the Lift/Drive Selector switch (2) to drive (right).

CAUTION

The SRT is about to move.If you have to make an emergency stop, release the Joystick

Controller (3) and sharply strike the Emergency Stop switch (4) straight in.

To make a normal stop, slowly move the Joystick Controller (3) to its “centered” neutral position then release it.

Squeeze and hold the Safety Control (5) against the Joystick Controller (3).

Push the Joystick Controller (3) slowly forward or pull it slowly backward, depending on which way you want to go. The further you move the joystick the faster the SRT moves.

6. To make a right or left turn, press and hold the Steering rocker-switch (6) on top of the Joystick Controller (3).

SRT2670 – 11360A page 8 - 7

Page 58

8. Operation

When you release the Steering rocker-switch (6) the steering wheels remain pointed in the direction you left them. They do not return to “straight ahead” the way automobile wheels do.You will have to press the opposite side of the Steering rocker-switch (6) to return to straight line travel. In tight spots you should stop the SRT, turn the wheels the direction you want to go, then, after you have “aimed” the steering wheels, squeeze the Safety Control (5) and move the Joystick Controller (3) slowly forward or backward.

Raising the Platform

❑

To raise the platform from the platform control box do the following:

1. The engine must be running. If not, start it from the platform control box as described above.

To make a normal stop, slowly move the Joystick Controller(3)toits “centered”neutralpositionthen release it.

Squeeze and hold the Safety Control (5) against the Joystick Controller (3).

Push the Joystick Controller (3) forward to raise the platform, or backward to lower it. The further you push the Joystick Controller (3) forward, the faster the platform rises. There is only one down speed.

■

Outriggers

Setting the outriggers

❑

Set the Lift/Drive Selector (1) to lift (left).

If the Lift Indicator Light (2) is not lit, the platform will not go up because: the chassis is not level, the outriggers (if present) are not properly set, or the articulating axles (if present) are not locked.Correct the problem then continue.

The platform is about to move. If you have to make an emergency stop, release the

Joystick Controller (3) and sharply strike the Emergency Stop switch (4) straight in.

1. Check to see that the ground under the four outrigger pads (1 typ.) is firm, stable, and unobstructed.

2. Completely lower the platform (3).

If the platform (3) is above 1.7m (5’ 6") the outriggers cannot be set or adjusted. This safety feature prevents the SRT from being tipped over by the outriggers if the Outrigger switches are accidentally pushed while the platform is raised.

3. The engine must be running and the SRT set for platform control box (2) operation.

page 8 - 8 SRT2670 – 11360A

Page 59

Pull and hold the Outrigger switches (4) backward, one at a time, until all four outrigger pads (1) contact the ground.

DANGER

Death or serious injury can result if an SRT tips over. Do not use the outr iggers to gain extra working height, they are not designed for that purpose. At least one of the outriggers should raise the SRT less than six inches (15 cm) above the ground — use the other three outriggers to level the SRT as necessary.

8. Operation

If the platform is up and the ground compresses unevenly under different outrigger pads the SRT might fall over causing serious injury or death. Check the bubble level (5) frequently during operation. If any movement of the bubble (6) occurs, completely lower the platform immediately and readjust the outriggers to re-center the bubble (6) in the ring (7).

6. Lower the appropriate outriggers just enough to center the bubble (5). When the Lift Indicator Light (8) comes on, the platform can be safely raised.

To raise the outriggers:

❑

1. Completely lower the platform.

5. Visually check the bubble level (5) to determine which outriggers must be further extended to level the platform (3).

When the bubble (6) in the bubble level is in the center of the ring (7), the platform is level.

DANGER

Push and hold the Outrigger switches (9) forward until all the outriggers are completely up.

The LIFT function will not work unless the outriggers are completely up.

Emergency Operation Procedures

The following procedures are emergency proce duresonly.DONOTuse them fornormal operation. Their purpose is to get the platform and operator safely to the ground when the SRT will not start or someother problemkeepsthe platform fromlower ing in the normal way, or to move the SRT a short distance to a safe place when the motor will not start.

There are three forms of emergency operation for the SRT.Emergency stop, emergency bleed-down, and pushing.

Each is covered as a separate section below.

■

Emergency Stop

There are two Emergency Stop switches on an SRT.

9. Emergency Operation

Push either Emergency Stop switch, at any time, and the entire machine stops, the engine turns off,

and nothing moves.

Functionally, the EmergencyStop switchesdo the samething as turning the MainPowerswitchto off.

TheEmergency Stop switchesare designed to be easiertofindand fastertousethankeyswitches.

To reset the Emergency Stop switch at the plat formcontrol box, turn it clockwiseand it will pop out (on).

To reset the EmergencyStop switch at the ground controlbox,raisethe redswitch-coverandpushthe switchup.The SRT engine canthen be restartedin the normal way.

Operator Horn

The operator HORN button is on the right side of the platform control box. For the Horn to work the Battery switch must be ON and the following switches,onthe ground control box,must be setas indicated:

Selector Switch .............platform

Emergency Stop ...........out for run

Key Switch ....................on

The SRT must be on a firm surface capable of withstanding all load forces imposed by the aerial platform in all operation conditions before the outriggers are used.

■

RCD / ELCB Outlet

The RCD (Residual Current Device) is located at the ground and will protect against short circuits to earth. When there is a short circuit the RCD will shutdownthe230vACpowertotheplatformoutlet.

The operator HORN is used primarily to get the attentionof peopleon the groundwhen youare working aloft.

■

Outriggers

The outr igger controls are on the upper left side of the platform control box.

The outr iggers are used to level the SRT (for com plete outrigger operating procedures see the “Op eration” chapter 1).

To reset the outlet disconnect the power tool lead from the platform box and reset the RCD at the ground.

If the problempersists call a trained service technician.

■

Flashing Light

The flashing light alerts people that the SRT is

present and that the SRT is moving. The light flashes at about one flash per second any time the SRT is running.There is no ON/OFF switch for the flashing light, it cannot be turned off while the SRT is running.
