SAFETY NOTICE
PLEASE READ BEFORE USE
If this machine has been transported in a container the wheels will have been
flipped to get it into the container. This will make the machine narrower than the
design intent. The machine may be driven with the wheels flipped to load &
unload but only ever when in the stowed position. The machine must not be
used for a job of work until the wheels have been flipped back round to their
correct position.
To flip the wheel back to the correct orientation (refer to
Figure 1), use the following instructions.
1. Safely jack the machine.
2. Loosen the 9 retaining lug nuts.
3. Safely remove the wheel from the hub.
4. Flip the wheel 180° so that decal 513132-000 is facing
on the inside of the wheel. Refer to Figure 2.
Figure 1 – Correct Wheel Orientation
Figure 2 – Wheel Position Decal
The distance between the outer edge of the right wheel
to the outer edge of the left wheel should be 2390mm
(94 in) when the wheels are correctly orientated. Refer
to Figure 3.
5. Safely fit the wheel back onto the hub.
6. Hand tighten the 9 retaining lug nuts and lower the
machine from the jack.
7. Dry torque the lug nuts to 150 ft lbs in a non-circular
pattern.

SAFETY RULES
Warning
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions
before operating or performing maintenance on any Snorkel aerial work platform.
Electrocution Hazard Tip Over Hazard Collision Hazard Fall Hazard
THIS MACHINE IS
NOT INSULATED!
NEVER elevate the platform
or drive the machine while
elevated unless the machine
is on a firm, level surface
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.). Uses or alterations to the aerial work platform must be approved by Snorkel.
THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! Refer to applicable national/governmental/local regulations for safe
approach distances.
Exceeding the specied permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Platform Capacity” on page 6 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” on page 6 for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVER operate the machine without rst 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. See “Beaufort Scale” on page 6 for details.
Do not operate the aerial platform in windy or gusty conditions. Do not add anything to the aerial platform that will increase the
wind loading such as billboards, banners, flags, etc.
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 rm, 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!
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
damaged 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 ame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.
Modications 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.
The driving of MEWP’s on the public highway is subject to national trafc regulations.
Certain inherent risks remain in the operation of this machine despite utilizing proper design practices and safeguarding.
Harness attachment points are provided in the platform and the manufacturer recommends the usage of a fall restraint
harness, especially where required by national safety regulations.
Care must be taken to ensure that the machines meets the requirements of stability during use, transportation, assembly,
dismantling when out of service, testing, or foreseeable breakdowns.
In the event of an accident or breakdown see “Emergency Lowering” on page 17, do not operate the aerial platform if it is
damaged or not functioning properly. Qualied maintenance personnel must correct the problem before putting the aerial
platform back into service.

Introduction
Introduction
This manual covers the T40RT and T46JRT Aerial Work
Platforms.
This manual must be stored on the machine at all
times.

Special Limitations
Special Limitations
Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed
range. Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level
surfaces only.
Danger
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the
work platform is level and on a firm surface.
The work platform is NOT intended to be driven over
uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
Two people and tools may occupy the platform. The maximum platform capacity for the aerial platform is stated in
the “Specifications” on pages 26 and 27.
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or
the platform occupancy limits for this machine.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to
objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.
The maximum allowable manual force is limited to 200 N
(45 lbs) of force per occupant, with a maximum of 400 N
(90 lbs) for two occupants.
The system will remain in error mode until the excess
load is removed from the platform and the emergency
stop button or start switch is cycled off and back on,
resetting the system. At that time, the machine functions
are operational.
Caution
The emergency power system is for emergency lowering and stowing only. The length of time the pump
can be operated depends on the capacity of the battery. Do not use this system for normal operation.
If the platform overload sensing system is tripped while
operating the machine or if the system is in error mode
and can not be reset, the emergency power system may
still be used for emergency machine operation from either
the lower or upper controls.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated
on the platform rating placard.
The overload sensing system is not active when the
machine is being driven with the booms in the stowed
position. This allows the machine to be driven without
the system sensing an overload due to rough ground
conditions.
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual
chine operation, there is a five second delay in machine
functions following:
force for this machine.
To eliminate repeated tripping of the system during ma-
starting the engine.

Beaufort Scale
If the platform becomes significantly overloaded, or if an
upward force on the platform exceeds approximately 2225
Never operate the machine when wind speeds exceed
12.5 m/s (28mph) [Beaufort scale 6]. Refer to Figure 1.
N (500 lb), the system will enter into error mode, stopping
all functions from the upper and lower controls. The horn
will then sound constantly and the overload light will stay
illuminated at the upper and lower controls.
