SAFE OPERATION
The following safety inf o r m a t ion is vitally
important for safe operation of the TB 60. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in personal
injury or DEATH.
Pre-start Inspection
Prior to each shift, t he TB 60 shall be given a
visual inspection and function test. See the
“DAILY INSPECTION & MAINT ENANCE”
chapter in this manual for a list of items to
inspect and test.
Do not operate the TB 60 unless you are trained
and authorized, understand the operation
characteristics of the TB 60, and have inspected
and tested all functions to be sure they are in
proper working order. See the “DAI LY
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE” chapter.
Work Place Inspection and Practices
Do not use the TB 60 as a ground for welding.
Ground to the work piece.
Before the TB 60 is used, and during use, check
the area in which the TB 60 is to be used for
possible hazards such as, but not limited to:
• drop-offs or holes,
• side slopes,
• bumps and floor obstructions,
• debris,
• overhead obstructions and electrical
conductors,
• hazardous locations,
• inadequate surface and support to withstand
all load forces imposed by the aerial platform
in all operating configur at ions,
• wind and weather conditions,
• presence of unauthorized persons,
• other possible unsafe conditions.
Before using the aerial plat form in any hazardous
(classified) location, make cer tain it is approved
and of the type required by ANSI/ NFPA 505 for
use in that particular location.
A recommended safety practice is to have
personnel that are trained in the operation of the
emergency controls working in the imm ediat e
area of the TB 60 to assist the platform operator
in the event of an emergency.
When moving the platform, check the clear ance
around the TB 60 to avoid contact with structures
or other hazards. Always look in the direction of
motion.
Keep ground personnel from under t he platform
when the platform is raised.
Secure all accessories, containers, tools, and
other materials in the platform to prevent them
from accidentally falling or being kicked off the
platform.
Do not engage in any form of “horseplay” or
“stunt driving” while operating the TB 60.
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 platfo r m . Rem o ve 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 platfor m .
Do not operate a TB 60 that is not functioning
properly, or has been damaged, until the
machine has been repaired by a qualified
maintenance person.
Do not operate a TB 60 that does not have all its
decals and placards attached and legible.
Drive the machine with care and at speeds
compatible with conditions. Use extra caution
when driving over rough ground, on slopes, and
when turning.
Know and understand the job site traffic-flow
patterns and obey the flagmen, r oad signs, and
signals.
P/N 0082168
Watch for bystanders and never allow anyone to
be under, or to reach through, the machine and
its equipment while operating.

1. SAFETY
Electrocution
The TB 60 is an all-metal boom, NO NINSULATED, aerial work-platform. Do not
operate it near ELECTRICAL conductors.
Regard all conductors as being energized.
Do not operate outside during a thunderst or m.
Tipover & Falling Hazards
Do not operate a TB 60 from a posit ion on
trucks, trailers, railway cars, floating vessels,
scaffolds, or similar equipment unless the
application is approved in writing by Snorkel.
If the platfor m or elevating assembly becomes
caught, snagged, or otherwise prevented from
normal motion by an adjacent structure or other
obstacles such that control reversal does not f r ee
the platform, r em o ve all personnel from the
platform before attempts are made to fr ee the
platform using gr ound controls.
It is best not to transf er from the platform to
another structure or from t he st r uct ur e to the
platform, unless that is t he safest way to do the
job. Judge each situation separately tak ing the
work environment into account. If it is necessary
to transfer from the platform to anot her structure
the following guidelines apply:
• Where possible, place t he work plat form over
a roof or walking structur e to do the transfer.
• Transfer your anchorage from one structure to
another before you step across.
Care shall be taken to prevent rope, elect r ic
cords, and hoses, etc., fr om becoming entangled
in the aerial platform.
Raise the platform only when the TB 60 is on
level ground.
Maintain a firm footing on t he platform floor.
Climbing on the guard rails is pr ohibit ed.
Do not use ladders, planks, or other devices to
extend or increase your work position from the
platform.
Do not jerk the controls. Move the controls slowly
and deliberately to avoid jerky and erratic
operation. Always stop the controls in the neutral,
off, position before going in the opposite
direction.
Do not use the boom for any purpose other than
to position personnel, their tools, and materials.
Do not use the TB 60 as a crane, hoist, or j ack.
Do not operate the TB 60 in winds, or wind
gusts, of 28 mph (45 km/hr) or more.
Do not add anything to the TB 60 that will
increase the wind loading (billboards, banners,
flags, etc).
Crushing
Always look in the direction of travel. Avoid
overhead obstructions.
Never cover the floor grating or ot her wise
obstruct your view below.
• Remember that you might be transferring to a
structure where
required.
• Use the platform entrance, do not climb over
the guardrails.
All platform occupants MUST wear a fall r estraint
device connected to a lanyard anchor point.
Do not exceed the unrestricted platfor m capacit y
as indicated on the capacity placards at the
platform and ground-control panel.
Do not raise the boom if the T B 60 is on soft
ground. Operate the boom only on a f ir m sur face
capable of withstanding all load forces imposed
by the aerial platform in all operat ing conditions.
Do not carry loads from any point outside of t he
platform.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personnel Precautions
If you encounter any suspected malfunction of
the aerial platform, or any hazard or pot entially
unsafe condition relating to capacity, int ended
use, or safe operation, cease operat ion and seek
assistance from management.
Operator General Precautions
Make sure that all protective guards, cowlings,
and doors are in place and secure.
Be sure the guardrail system, including t he gate,
is in place and secure.
P/N 0082168
1. SAFETY
Mounting & Dismounting Precautions
Use three points of support when gett ing on or
off the platf orm (two hands and one foot or a
similar set of points). Keep t he plat form clean.
Do not jump off t he m achine.
Do not dismount while the machine is in motion.
Starting and Stopping Precautions
Do not start until all personnel are clearly away
from the machine.
Before leaving the operator’s stat ion, place the
machine in the stowed position.
When leaving the m achine par ked or
unattended, remove the starter key from the
MASTER key switch, set the BATTERY switch to
OFF, then lock the BATTERY switch closed.
Operating Precautions
Do not modify the TB 60 in any way.
When parts or com ponents are replaced, they
shall be identical or equivalent to original Snor kel
parts or components.
Do not override any of the safety feat ur es of the
TB 60.
Limit travel speeds according to conditions. Take
into account: grade, surface, congestion,
visibility, side slope, location of personnel, and
other hazards.
Operator Maintenance Precautions
Do not use your hand to search for hydraulic oil
leaks. High pressure hydraulic oil can easily cut
and penetrate your skin — a very serious injury
that requires immediate at t ention by a medical
specialist trained in that type of injur y. 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.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area free of
flame, sparks, or ot her hazards t hat might cause
fire or explosion.
Use extreme caution when removing radiator
caps. Park the machine and let it cool down
before opening a pressurized compartment.
Fuel Handling Precautions
Do not smoke or permit open f lam es while
fueling or near f ueling operations.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel a g asoline
engine while the engine is running or hot. Never
allow fuel to spill on hot machine components.
Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when
filling the tank.
Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. 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 & PLACARDS
There are several safety decals and placards on
the TB 60. Their locations and descriptions are
shown in this section. Take time to study them.
Be sure that all the safety decals and placards
on the TB 60 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 r ead. If it is on a
part that is replaced, make sur e a new decal or
placard is installed on the replaced part. See
your Snorkel dealer for new decals and placards.

GAUGES
FILTER MINDER
The air filter g auge (1) (FILTER MINDER) is
located just above the ground-control panel. The
gauge measures the vacuum (air pressur e)
between the intake manifold and t he air filter. As
the filter clogs, t he vacuum increases (pressure
drops). As the vacuum increases, the yellow
indicator disk (2) raises toward the red ar ea ( 3)
of the sight glass. When the yellow disk reaches
the red, it’s time to chang e the air filter.
The indicator disk (2) stays at it s highest setting,
it does not go to the bottom of the sight glass
when the engine is turned off. After the f ilt er is
changed, press the small RESET button (4) t o
reset the indicator disk to the bottom of the sight
glass.
The TEMPERATURE gauge for Deutz engines
shows the temperature of the engine oil as the oil
leaves the oil filter. The t ypical operat ingtemperature range for a Deutz engine is 172°F to
203°F (78°C to 95°C).
AMPS
The AMPS gauge shows the electric current
from the alternator t o the battery(ies). 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, this gauge should
read “0.”
HOURS

TEMPERATURE
The TEMPERATURE gauge is located at the top
of the ground-control panel. For Ford engines it
shows the temperature of the water-ant ifreeze
mixture in the engine block. The t ypical
operating-temperatur e r ange for Ford engines is
160°F to 190°F (71°C to 88°C).
P/N 0082168

The HOURS gauge (1) is located on the wiring
box (2), to the left of the ground-control panel
(behind the cowling door). The HOURS gauge is
basically an electric clock. It accumulates tim e
when the BATTERY, EMERGENCY STOP (at
the ground), and MASTER switches are all in the
ON position. The HOURS g auge cannot be
reset. Use it to tell when it is time for 150 hour or
500 hour maintenance.

The fuel gauge (1) is locat ed on top of the
gasoline or diesel fuel tank (2). Read it at the line
(3) in the clear plastic window (4). It reads in
fractions-of-a- full-tank. The tank shown is a little
less than 3/8 full.
NOTE: Do not run a diesel fuel tank dry. Air in
the fuel line makes a diesel engine hard to
start.

The hydraulic-oil level gauge (1) is on the end of
the hydraulic oil tank (2). It shows the actual level
of oil inside the tank. Read it only when the
booms are completely down and completely
retracted. Otherwise, the lift and/or extend
cylinders become large reservoirs for hydraulic
oil and the oil level in the tank will be low. The oil
level (3) should be between the HIGH mark (4)
and LOW mark (5).
2
(OPTION - LPG) LPG t anks have two fuel
gauges (1) (2) on top. One measures correctly
when the tank is standing on end (VERTICAL)
the other measures correctly when the tank is
laying down (HORIZONTAL). Both read in
fractions-of-a- full-tank. Tanks on TB 60’s are
mounted horizontally. Therefore, you should read
the HORIZONTAL scale (2). This one is over 3/8
full.
Hydraulic Oil Temperature
The hydraulic-oil temperature gauge (1) is
located inside the hydraulic-oil level gauge. It
measures the temperature of the oil in the tank
(2). The temperatur e should not exceed 200°F
(93°C). If it does, r educe your dr iving speed or
stop the TB 60 to let the hydraulic oil cool.
