OPERATOR’S

MANUAL

Part Number 0075182

March 2014

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 defined 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, booms, 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, booms, 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.

Chapter 3 – Safety

Prestart Inspection

Perform a prestart inspection before each shift as described in Chapter 7. Do not use the aerial platform on the job unless you are trained and authorized to do so.

Work Place Inspection and Practices

Do not use the aerial platform as a ground connection when welding. The welding ground clamp must be attached to the same structure that is being welded. Electrical current flow can be very intense, causing serious internal damage to some components.

Inspect the area before and during aerial platform use. The following are some potential hazards that may be in the work place.

• Debris

• Slopes

• Drop-offs or holes

• Bumps and floor obstructions

• Overhead obstructions

• Unauthorized persons

• High voltage conductors

• Wind and weather conditions

• Inadequate surface and support to withstand load forces applied by the aerial platform in all operating configurations

Always look in the direction of movement. Drive with care and at speeds compatible with the work place conditions. Use caution when driving over rough ground, on slopes, and when turning. Do not engage in any form of horseplay or permit riders any place other than in the platform.

Secure all accessories, containers, tools, and other materials in the platform to prevent them from accidentally falling or being kicked off the platform. Remove all objects that do not belong in or on the aerial platform.

Never steady the platform by positioning it against another platform.

Do not operate the aerial platform if it is damaged or not functioning properly. Qualified maintenance personnel must correct the problem before putting the aerial platform back into service.

Operation

Use three points of support when entering or exiting the platform. For example, use two hands and one foot when climbing into the platform.

Never cover the platform floor grating or otherwise obstruct your view below. Make sure the area below the platform is free of personnel before lowering.

Before using the aerial platform in any hazardous (classified) location, make certain it is approved and of the type required by ANSI/NFPA 505 for use in that particular location.

Know and understand the job site traffic-flow patterns and obey the flagmen, road signs, and signals.

While operating the aerial platform, a good safety practice is to have qualified personnel in the immediate work area to:

• Help in case of an emergency.

• Operate emergency controls as required.

• Watch for loss of control by platform operator.

• Warn the operator of any obstructions or hazards that may not be obvious to them.

• Watch for soft terrain, sloping surfaces, drop-offs, etc. where stability could be jeopardized.

• Watch for bystanders and never allow anyone to be under, or to reach through the booms while operating the aerial platform.

ADanger

Pinch points may exist between moving components. Death or serious injury will result from becoming trapped between components, buildings, structures, or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the machine before moving the chassis, booms, or platform. Allow sufficient room and time to stop movement to avoid contact with structures or other hazards.

Keep both feet positioned firmly on the platform floor. Operate the controls slowly and deliberately to avoid jerky and erratic operation. Always stop the controls in neutral before going in the opposite direction.

Do not dismount while the aerial platform is in motion or jump off the platform.

Properly stow the aerial platform and secure it against unauthorized operation at the end of each work day, before transporting, or if it is left unattended.

Tip-Over and Falling Hazards

Operate the aerial platform only on a firm, flat, level surface capable of withstanding all load forces imposed by the aerial platform in all operating conditions. Raise the booms only when the aerial platform is on level ground.

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tipover accident. Do not drive or position the aerial platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard.

All platform occupants must wear a fall restraint device connected to a lanyard anchor point.

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 sepa-

10 TB47J – 0075182

Chapter 3 – Safety

rately taking the work environment into account. If it is necessary to transfer from the platform to another structure the following guidelines apply:

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

2. Transfer your anchorage from one structure to the other before stepping across.

3. Remember that you might be transferring to a structure where personal fall arrest is required.

4. Use the platform entrance, do not climb over or through the guardrails.

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.

Never operate the aerial platform without all parts of the guardrail system in place and the gate closed. Make sure that all protective guards, cowlings, and doors are securely fastened.

Do not exceed the platform capacity as indicated on the platform rating 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, railway cars, floating vessels, scaffolds, or similar equipment unless the application is approved in writing by Snorkel.

AWarning

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 flames or sparks when checking the batteries.

Battery acid can damage the skin and eyes. Serious infection or reaction can result if medical treatment is not given immediately. Wear face and eye protection when working near the batteries.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can damage your eyes or skin on contact. Wear a face shield, rubber gloves, and protective clothing when working around batteries. If acid contacts your eyes, flush immediately with clear water and get medical attention. If acid contacts your skin, wash off immediately with clear water.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system contains hoses with hydraulic fluid under pressure.

ADanger

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have enough force to inject fluid into the flesh. Serious infection or reaction will result if medical treatment is not given immediately. In case of injury by escaping hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention at once.

Do not place your hand or any part of your body in front of escaping hydraulic fluid. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for hydraulic leaks.

Charging System

When the engine is running, the ammeter needle (refer to Figure 7.6) should be to the right of “0.” Left of the “0” is discharging.

Cold Weather Start Kit—Block Heater

If the machine engine is a Cummins or Ford that is equipped with an optional engine block heater, visually inspect the heater and power cord. Inspect for leaks around the heater and for damage to the power cord.

Electrical System

Electrical power is supplied from either one or two, 600 CCA, 12 volt batteries. These batteries supply 12 volt DC electrical power to operate the aerial platform electrical and electrohydraulic components.

Machines with gasoline engines have one battery and machines with diesel engines have two batteries.

AWarning

Batteries give off hydrogen and oxygen that can combine explosively. Death or serious injury can result from a chemical explosion. Do not smoke or permit open flames or sparks when checking the batteries.

Include the emergency power battery when inspecting and servicing the electrical system.

Battery Fluid Level

Remove the caps from each battery (refer to Figure 7.7). Visually check the battery fluid level. If the level is not

within each hole, add distilled water.

Replace the caps on the batteries. The caps must be in place and tight during machine operation.

Battery Terminals

Check the top of the batteries, the terminals, and cable ends (refer to Figure 7.7). They should be clean and free of corrosion. Clean the top of the batteries if necessary. Clean the terminals and cable ends with a wire brush or terminal cleaning tool. All cable ends must be securely fastened to the terminals.

Figure 7.9 – Hoses, Tubes, and Fittings

Figure 7.8 – Fluid Level Indicator

ACaution

Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydraulic system. Some have poor lubricating characteristics and can increase component wear. Only use hydraulic fluid as recommended.

If necessary, remove the filler cap and add fluid of the proper type. Refer to Chapter 2 for the proper type and grade of hydraulic fluid to use. The need to regularly add fluid indicates a leak that should be corrected.

The sight glass on the reservoir has an internal thermometer to measure the fluid temperature. The temperature should be less than 200°F (93°C).

Fluid Filter

Checking the condition of the hydraulic fluid filter is part of the machine maintenance schedule and should not be performed by the operator.

Hoses, Tubes, and Fittings

Inspect all hydraulic hoses, tubes, and fittings for wear, leakage, or damage (refer to Figure 7.9). Make sure the hoses are properly routed to avoid sharp edges, kinking, and scuffing. Inspect the tubes for dents or other damage that may restrict fluid flow. Make sure all hoses and tubes are held firmly in their support brackets.

Hydraulic fluid leaks are easily visible on the ground. Check under the chassis for fluid that has leaked.

Tires and Wheels

Visually inspect the tires and wheels (refer to Figure 7.10) to make sure they are suitable for service. Check the wheel lug nuts to see that none are missing, damaged, or loose.

Figure 7.10 – Tires and Wheels

The aerial platform may have air or foam filled tires. Air filled tires have a tire pressure decal near the valve stem. The valve stem also has a valve core like an automobile tire. Foam filled tires do not have a pressure decal or a valve core. Different types of tires have different inspection requirements.

The operator bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the aerial platform is properly set up for the particular conditions encountered.

Cold Weather Start-Up

If the ambient temperature is 32°F (0°C) or below, the engine and hydraulic system oil may need to be warmed before operation. Do not operate the engine at more than a fast idle until the engine and hydraulic oil has had a chance to warm. The engine may be equipped with an optional cold weather start kit.

Cold, thick hydraulic oil does not flow well and may cause delay in response to control movement and improper voltage output of the AC generator. Cold oil may also cause cavitation and pump damage. The hydraulic system may be equipped with an optional cold weather warm-up kit.

TB47J – 0075182 41

If the engine does not start within 20 seconds, continue to hold the manifold heater switch and turn the master switch off. Wait for one minute before trying to start the engine again.

Hydraulic System Cold Weather Warm-Up

The hydraulic oil may be warmed by bottoming out the boom extension cylinder. Raise the main boom so it is horizontal and operate the boom retract function while the machine is stowed. With the cylinder bottomed out the oil flow will produce heat to warm the hydraulic oil.

ACaution

Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydraulic system. Some have poor lubricating characteristics and can increase component wear. Only use hydraulic fluid as recommended.

Chapter 8 – Operation

Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the machine General Specifications in temperatures of 10°F (0°C) or below.

Preparing for Operation

Driving and Steering

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tipover accident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not drive the machine on grades that exceed 25 percent.

For operation on grades up to 25 percent, it is recommended that the main boom be near horizontal and the jib elevated just enough to provide adequate ground clearance. A 25 percent grade is a 30″ (0.76 m) vertical rise in 10′ (3.05 m) horizontal length.

Avoid driving with the platform over the front (steer) end of the chassis. In this position the machine is difficult to control because:

• drive and steer control movements and their resulting machine movements are reversed.

• when driving fast, sudden turns or stops produce more severe reactions to platform occupants.

Platform Foot Switch

• more turning space is required to prevent the platform from colliding with obstacles several feet beyond the path of the tires.

AWarning

Figure 8.4 – Platform

3. Hold the appropriate control in the desired direction. Always look in the direction of movement.

4. Gradually turn the boom speed knob to control the boom extend, jib, and platform rotate function speed.

TB47J – 0075182 43

Death or serious injury can result from improperly driving or steering the aerial platform. Read and understand the information in this manual and on the placards and decals on the machine before operating the aerial platform on the job.

Chapter 8 – Operation

The blue and yellow arrows on the chassis indicate the direction the chassis will move when the drive or steer control is moved toward the corresponding color.

When the machine is in the stowed position, with the booms centered between the rear wheels, the direction of drive and steer control movement corresponds with the direction of chassis movement.

When the turntable is rotated from the stowed position, with the booms to either side of or in front of the chassis, the direction of control movement does not correspond with the direction of chassis movement.

To avoid confusion, always drive to the work area or move between work areas with the turntable and booms in the stowed position. After arriving at the work area, the booms may be positioned to the side or the front of the chassis for final positioning. Always look in the direction of movement as indicated by the directional arrows on the chassis.

Use the following procedure to operate the drive and steer functions.

1. Determine the desired drive range for the specific driving conditions.

• Use high range when traveling across firm, flat,

level surfaces. High range can only be activated when the booms are stowed. High range is for high speed, low torque operation.

• Use low range for driving on loading ramps or other

steep grades and when safety considerations demand slow deliberate machine movement. Low range is for low speed, high torque operation.

2. Step down on the platform foot switch.

3. Push the drive joystick forward to move the chassis forward, the direction of the blue arrow. Pull the joystick backward to move the chassis backward, the direction of the yellow arrow. The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position.

Drive Speeds

The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position. The farther the joystick is moved, the faster the travel speed.

Always slow down and shift the drive system to low range before traveling over rough terrain or any sloped surface.

Drive speed ranges are interlocked through a limit switch that senses the main boom position. When the boom is elevated, only the slowest drive speed will work regardless of the drive range switch position. To avoid a sudden speed change from high to low elevated boom speed, always bring the machine to a stop before raising the booms from the stowed position.

AWarning

The potential for an accident increases when safety devices do not function properly. Death or serious injury can result from such accidents. Do not alter, disable, or override any safety device.

Do not use the aerial platform if it drives faster than 1.0 miles per hour (44 feet in 30 seconds) when the booms are elevated from the stowed position.

Motion Warning Alarm

The motion warning alarm sounds loud intermittent beeps when the drive joystick is in the forward or reverse position.

Four Wheel Drive

The machine may be equipped with a four wheel drive system. This system operates full time and requires no action by the operator.

Four wheel drive machines have a “4x4” decal on each side of the chassis and all four of the wheel hubs are drive hubs and look the same.

Electrical Power Outlet

The electrical outlet at the platform has 2, 3-prong, 125 volt AC electrical connectors. Their combined output is limited by a 15 amp circuit breaker.

4. To stop drive motion, return the joystick to neutral.

5. Push the drive joystick to the right to steer to the right, the direction of the yellow arrow. Push the joystick to the left to steer to the left, the direction of the blue arrow.

Note The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steering wheels straight ahead after completing a turn.

6. After driving to the desired location, release the foot switch, or push the emergency stop button to apply the parking brakes.

Chapter 9 – Stowing and Transporting

Transporting

The aerial platform may be moved on a transport vehicle. Depending on the particular situation, the aerial platform may be driven, winched, or hoisted onto a vehicle such as a truck or trailer. Driving is the preferred method.

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tipover accident. Do not drive on ramps that exceed 25 percent grade, or where conditions of the ramp could cause driving to be hazardous.

Drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle if the ramp incline is within the 25 percent grade capability of the aerial platform.

A 25 percent grade is a 30″ (0.76 m) vertical rise in 10′ (3.05 m) horizontal length.

Use a winch to load and unload the aerial platform on ramps that exceed 25 percent grade. A winch may also be used when conditions of the ramp could cause driving to be hazardous.

The equipment used to load, unload, and transport the aerial platform must have adequate capacity. Refer to Chapter 2 to determine the approximate weight of the aerial platform.

The user assumes all responsibility for choosing the proper method of transportation, and the proper selection and use of transportation and tie-down devices, making sure the equipment used is capable of supporting the weight of the aerial platform and that all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings, regulations and safety rules of their employer, the DOT and/or any other state or federal law are followed.

7. Rotate the turntable slightly to the side so you can see the front wheels.

8. Verify that the machine wheels, loading ramps, and transport vehicle are aligned.

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tipover accident. Set the drive range to low before driving up or down a grade.

9. Place the drive range switch in the low position.

10. Drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle in a straight line through the grade transitions with minimal turning.

11. Rotate the turntable to align the main boom between the rear wheels.

12. When driving down the ramp, always back the machine with the platform on the downhill side only.

Winching

Use the following procedure to winch the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle.

1. Locate the transport vehicle so the aerial platform will not roll forward after it is loaded.

2. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other loose objects from the platform.

3. Drive the machine to the foot of the loading ramp with the front wheels nearest the ramp. Make sure the machine is centered with the ramps and that the steering wheels are straight.

Driving

Use the following procedure to drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle.

1. Locate the transport vehicle so it is in a straight line with the loading ramp.

2. Chock the vehicle wheels so it cannot roll away from the ramp while the machine is loaded.

3. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other loose objects from the platform.

4. Drive the machine to the foot of the loading ramp with the front wheels nearest the ramp. Make sure the machine is centered with the ramps and that the steering wheels are straight.

Use the following procedure to hoist the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle.

1. Properly stow the aerial platform.

Note The lifting lugs at the rear of the chassis are farther apart than those at the front. Rotating the turntable 180° will place the counterweight at the rear of the chassis. This will reduce the number of spreader bars needed by one and sometimes two.

2. Inspect the lifting lugs (refer to Figure 9.5) to make sure they are free of cracks, rust, and are in good condition. Have any damage repaired by a qualified service technician before attempting to hoist the machine.

Lifting Lugs

8. At each drive wheel, remove the two bolts and return the plate to its original position as shown in Figure

9.4.

9. Start the engine and operate the drive control in forward and reverse several times to engage the drive hubs.

Hoisting

Use a four point sling arrangement attached to the lifting lugs when hoisting the aerial platform. Machine damage can occur if the sling is attached to the booms, turntable, or platform.

AWarning

The potential for an accident increases when the aerial platform is lifted using improper equipment and/or lifting techniques. Death or serious injury can result from such accidents. Use proper equipment and lifting techniques when lifting the aerial platform.

Know the weight of the aerial platform and the capacity of the lifting devices before hoisting. Lifting devices include the hoist or crane, chains, straps, cables, hooks, sheaves, shackles, slings, and other hardware used to support the machine. The gross vehicle weight is stamped on the serial number placard and is listed in Chapter 2.

Figure 9.5 – Lifting Lugs

3. Remove all personnel, tools, materials, or other loose objects from the platform.

4. Connect the chains or straps to the lifting lugs using bolted shackles. Hooks that fit properly in the lugs and that have latching mechanisms to prevent them from falling out under a slack line condition may also be used.

Do not run the sling cable through the lifting lugs. Cable damage and/or failure can result from the cable contacting the sharp corners of the lug. There is no effective way of putting a corner protector in the hole of the lifting lug.

5. Use spreader bars of sufficient length to keep the chains, straps, or cables from contacting the turntable or booms. When using cables, use rigid corner protectors at any point where the cable contacts sharp

TB47J – 0075182 49

Chapter 9 – Stowing and Transporting

corners to prevent damaging the cable. Careful rigging of the spreaders is required to prevent machine damage.

6. Adjust the length of each chain or strap so the aerial platform remains level when raised off the ground.

7. Use the hoist or crane to carefully raise and position the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle.

Securing for Transport

Use the following procedure to secure the aerial platform on the transport vehicle.

1. Chock the wheels.

base – the relevant contact points of the aerial platform that form the stability support (e.g. wheels, casters, outriggers, stabilizers).

boom – a movable cantilever beam which supports the platform.

center of gravity – the point in the aerial platform around which its

weight is evenly balanced.

chassis – the integral part of the aerial platform that provides mobility and support for the booms.

fall restraint – a system that is used while working on a boom lift within the boundaries of platform guardrails to provide restraint from being projected upward from the platform. This system includes a harness or belt, lanyard, and a lanyard anchor. Federal OSHA, ANSI, and Snorkel require the use of additional fall protection beyond the platform guardrails on boom supported aerial platforms.

floor or ground pressure – the maximum pressure, expressed in pounds per square inch, a single wheel concentrates on the floor or ground.

gradeability – the maximum slope that the aerial platform is capable of travel.

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) – a fast-acting circuit breaker that opens to stop electrical circuit flow if it senses a very small current leakage to ground. The GFCI is used to protect personnel against a potential shock hazard from defective electrical tools or wiring.

guardrail system – a vertical barrier around the platform to prevent personnel from falling.

maximum travel height – the maximum platform height or the most adverse configuration(s) with respect to stability in which travel is permitted by the manufacturer.

maximum wheel load – the load or weight that can be transmitted through a single wheel to the floor or ground.

Minimum Safe Approach Distance – the minimum safe distance that electrical conductors may be approached when using the aerial platform. Also called M.S.A.D.

operation – the performance of any aerial platform functions within the scope of its specifications and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the users work rules, and all applicable governmental regulations.

operator – a qualified person who controls the movement of an aerial platform.

personal fall arrest system – a fall protection system that is used while working on an unprotected edge (such as a roof top with no guardrail). This system includes a harness, lanyard or other connecting device, a fall arrestor, an energy absorber or decelerator, an anchorage connector, and a secure anchorage such as a building beam, girders or columns. An aerial platform is not a fall arrest anchorage.

platform – the portion of an aerial platform intended to be occupied by personnel with their tools and materials.

platform height – the vertical distance measured from the floor of the platform to the surface upon which the chassis is being supported.

prestart inspection – a required safety inspection routine that is performed daily before operating the aerial platform.

qualified person – a person, who by reason of knowledge, experience, or training is familiar with the operation to be performed and the hazards involved.

rated work load – the designed carrying capacity of the aerial platform as specified by the manufacturer.

stow – to place a component, such as the platform, in its rest position.

hazardous location – any location that contains, or has the potential

to contain, an explosive or flammable atmosphere as defined by ANSI/NFPA 505.

intermediate boom – a telescopic boom section that extends and retracts from within the main boom. The intermediate boom is between the base, or lower most section of the main boom, and the tip boom.

jib – an articulating boom attached to the tip boom which increases the overall boom reach.

level sensor – a device that detects a preset degree of variation from perfect level. The level sensor is used to sound an alarm if operating on a slope greater than the preset value.

lower controls – the controls located at ground level for operating some or all of the functions of the aerial platform.

main boom – a boom assembly located between the turntable and the platform.

manufacturer – a person or entity who makes, builds or produces an aerial platform.

TB47J – 0075182

tip boom – a telescopic boom section that extends and retracts from within the main boom. The tip boom is nearest the platform.

turning radius – the radius of the circle created by the wheel during a 360° turn with the steering wheels turned to maximum. Inside turning radius is the wheel closest to the center and outside turning radius is the wheel farthest from the center.

turntable – the structure above the rotation bearing which supports the main boom. The turntable rotates about the centerline of rotation.

unrestricted rated work load – the maximum designed carrying capacity of the aerial platform allowed by the manufacturer in all operating configurations.

upper controls – the controls located on or beside the platform used for operating some or all of the functions of the aerial platform.

wheelbase – the distance from the center of the rear wheel to the center of the front wheel.

working envelope – the area defined by the horizontal and vertical limits of boom travel that the platform may be positioned in.

working height – platform height plus six feet.
