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 can 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. Refer to the
General Specifications chart for the maximum wheel load
and ground pressure. 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 can 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.
16 TB80/TB85J – 0112477
Page 21
Chapter 3 – Safety
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 separately 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.
Do not operate any of the aerial platform functions while
the battery charger is plugged in.
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.
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 can 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.
Do not use the aerial platform as a crane, hoist, jack, or
for any purpose other than to position personnel, tools,
and materials.
Do not climb on the guardrails or use ladders, planks, or
other devices to extend or increase the work position
from the platform.
Take care to prevent rope, electrical cords, and hoses,
etc., from becoming caught in or on the aerial platform. If
the platform or booms becomes caught on an adjacent
structure or other obstacle and is prevented from normal
motion, reverse the control to free the platform. If control
reversal does not free the platform, evacuate the platform
before attempting to free it.
Electrical System
Charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area free of flame,
sparks, or other hazards that might cause fire or explosion.
TB80/TB85J – 0112477 17
Engine and Fuel Handling Precautions
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s Operator’s Manual for
complete information on safe engine operation, maintenance, and specifications.
ADanger
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that is invisible and odorless. Breathing
engine exhaust fumes can cause death or serious
illness. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area
or indoors without adequate ventilation.
Operate dual fuel machines on LPG fuel when indoors to
reduce exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide.
Be careful not to run the diesel fuel tank empty. Bleed
the fuel system if air enters the lines between the tank
and the injection pump.
Allow the engine to return to idle before shutting the engine off.
Page 22
Chapter 3 – Safety
Do not smoke or permit open flames while fueling or near
fueling operations.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank 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. Spilled fuel is a potential fire hazard.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. 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.
ACaution
Engine coolant escaping under pressure can cause
serious burns. Shut the engine off and let it cool
before removing the radiator cap.
Let the engine and radiator cool before adding coolant.

Tilt Alarm
If the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than five
degrees when the main boom is raised or extended, an
alarm will sound. The tilt alarm is located under the upper
control panel.
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury can 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.
Completely retract and lower the main boom and then
drive to a level surface when the tilt alarm sounds.
The tilt alarm is for added protection and does not justify
operating on anything other than firm, flat, level surfaces.
Engine Protection Systems
A constant tone alarm will sound to warn against high
engine temperature or low oil pressure.
The engine will shut-down if the operating temperature
exceeds a preset level or if the oil pressure is too low for
safe operation. An engine temperature gauge is on the
top of the lower control panel (refer to Figure 4.7).
If the oil in a Deutz engine exceeds 230°F (110°C) an
alarm will sound and the engine will shut off. Any time
there is no alternator current being produced, an alarm
will sound and the engine will shut off. This prevents high
engine temperature if the fan belt breaks.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that caused
the overheating has been corrected.
Low Oil Pressure Alarm
The low oil pressure alarm sounds when the engine oil
pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine operation.
If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the ground and
then turn the engine off. Do not restart the engine until
the condition that caused the low oil pressure has been
corrected.
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating value
the engine will shut off. The engine can be restarted with
low oil pressure, but it will only run a few seconds before
it shuts off again.
Horn
The horn may be used to warn personnel on the ground.
The horn button is on the right side of the upper control
panel (refer to Figure 4.8). The horn is operational when
the machine is set up for operation from the upper controls.

Chapter 8 – Operation
The aerial platform may be operated from either the lower
or upper controls.
ADanger
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated.
Death or serious injury can result from contact with,
or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor. Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by ANSI.
Pinch points may exist between moving components. Death or serious injury can 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.
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury can result from a tipover accident. Operate the aerial platform on a firm,
flat, level surface. Avoid travel speeds and/or rough
terrain that could cause sudden changes in platform
position. 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.
The platform rated work load is the total weight of the
personnel and equipment that may be lifted in the platform. The work loads are stated on the platform rating
placard mounted at the rear of the platform.
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury can result from a tipover accident. Do not exceed the capacity values
indicated on the platform rating placard.
Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity and do
not indicate aerial platform stability .
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 hydraulic oil may
also cause cavitation and pump damage. The hydraulic
system may be equipped with an optional cold weather
warm-up kit.
Engine Cold Weather Start Kit
The optional engine cold weather start kit may be an
engine block heater or a manifold air pre-heater. The type
of starting assist system depends on the engine manufacturer.
The last two letters of the model number stamped on the
serial number placard indicates the engine manufacturer
(refer to Figure 8.1). The serial number placard is mounted
on the front of the turntable.

CO Continental Engine block heater
Figure 8.1 – Engine Manufacturer/Start System
Refer to the engine manufacturer below for specific cold
weather start-up information for that particular engine type
and cold weather start system.
Cummins, Ford, and Continental — Block Heater
Plug the heater cord into a 125 Volt AC, 600 watt source
eight hours before starting the engine. The heater will
warm the engine block to make cold weather starting
easier.
Unplug the power cord before starting the engine.
Cummins — Ether Injection
Some Cummins engines may have an either injection
system instead of a block heater. Either injection should
only be used to start a cold engine when the ambient
temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
Make sure there is a can of ether installed in the holder,
in the engine compartment on the right side of the machine. Use the following procedure to install a can of ether
as necessary:
1. Place the battery disconnect switch in the off position.
2. Unscrew the holding cup.
3. Place a new can of ether in the cup.
4. Screw the holding cup firmly into position.
5. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position.

Activate the toggle switch while the start switch is in the
start position to inject a measured amount of ether into
the intake manifold.
Note
Do not crank the engine longer than 20 seconds. If the
engine does not start wait for two minutes before trying
to start the engine again.
Deutz — Manifold Preheater
At the lower controls, hold the manifold heater switch on
for about a minute before starting the engine. A glow plug
in the manifold preheats the air to help start the engine.
Continue to hold the switch while starting the engine. Do
not release the switch until the engine starts.
If the engine does not start within 20 seconds, continue
to hold the manifold heater switch and turn the start switch
off. Wait for one minute before trying to start the engine
again.
Hydraulic System Cold Weather Warm-Up
Some engines may have a hydraulic fluid warm-up system that will automatically warm the fluid upon activating
the warm-up switch. The hydraulic fluid may also be
warmed manually if the machine is not equipped with the
optional warm-up system.
2. From the same control station that the engine was
started, place the warm-up switch in the on position.
3. After the hydraulic fluid reaches 50°F (10°C) as indicated on the thermometer, place the warm-up switch
in the off position.
Manually Warming The Hydraulic System
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.
Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the
machine General Specifications in temperatures of 10°F
(0°C) or below.
Preparing for Operation
Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform
for operation.
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.
Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the
machine General Specifications in temperatures of 10°F
(0°C) or below.
Hydraulic System Warm-up Switch
This system may be used to warm the hydraulic fluid
when the ambient temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and
boom movement is sluggish because of cold fluid.
There may be a toggle switch for the warm-up system on
the lower control panel and/or one on the left side of the
upper control panel.
The engine must be running and the switch used to turn
the system on must be at the same location that the
engine was started. For example, if the engine was started
from the lower controls, the warm-up switch at the lower
controls must be used for the system to operate.
T o operate the warm-up system:
1. Perform a prestart inspection as described in Chapter 7.
2. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position.
3. Close and latch the doors.
4. Before painting or sandblasting make sure the sandblast protection kit and the platform control cover are
properly installed. These options, when used properly will protect the control placards and cylinder rods
from paint overspray and abrasion while sandblasting.
Lower Controls
The lower controls override the upper controls. This means
that the lower controls can always be used to operate the
platform regardless of the position of the upper control
emergency stop button.
Boom, turntable, and platform functions may be operated
from the lower controls. Boom elevation and extension is
limited when the rear axles are retracted. The lower controls may be used for initial set up of the aerial platform,
and for testing and inspection.

Lanyard
Anchors
A 25 percent grade is a 30″ (0.76 m) vertical rise in 10′
(3.05 m) horizontal length.
A 30 percent grade is a 36″ (0.91 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.
• more turning space is required to prevent the platform from colliding with obstacles several feet beyond the path of the tires.
AWarning
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.
Platform Foot Switch
Figure 8.7 – Platform
3. Hold the appropriate control in the desired direction.
Always look in the direction of movement.
4. Releasing the control to its neutral position, or releasing the foot switch will stop movement.
Driving and Steering
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury can result from a tipover accident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not
drive two wheel drive machines on grades that exceed 25 percent or four wheel drive machines on
grades that exceed 30 percent.
For operation of two wheel drive machines on grades up
to 25 percent, or four wheel drive machines on grades up
to 30 percent, it is recommended that the main boom be
near horizontal and the jib on TB85J machines elevated
just enough to provide adequate ground clearance.
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.
T o avoid confusion, always drive to the work area or move
between work areas with the turntable and booms in the
stowed position. Af ter 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.
TB80/TB85J – 0112477 51
Page 56
Chapter 8 – 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.
4. T o 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.
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 machine and all four of the wheel hubs are
drive hubs and look the same.
High Range Speed Selector
The high range speed selector (refer to Figure 8.8), on
four-wheel drive machines, works in conjunction with the
drive range switch to determine the maximum drive speed
when the drive range selector is in the HI position. LO
drive range speed is not affected by the high range speed
selector.
High Range Speed Selector
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. T o 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 0.75
miles per hour (33 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.
Figure 8.8 – T op of Chassis
For maximum drive speed, 3.0 mph (4.8 km/h) with low
gradeability, pull the knob upward and rotate it 90 degrees to lock it in position.
For slower drive speed, 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h) with higher
gradeability, pull the knob upward and rotate it 90 degrees to lock it in position.
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.
Power may be supplied to the outlet using an external
power source or by operating the optional AC generator .
T o use the outlet, plug a source of power into the powerinput connector on the left side of the wiring box (refer to

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 can 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
two wheel drive machines, or 30 percent grace capability
of four wheel drive machines.
A 25 percent grade is a 30″ (0.76 m) vertical rise in 10′
(3.05 m) horizontal length.
A 30 percent grade is a 36″ (0.91 m) vertical rise in 10′
(3.05 m) horizontal length.
Use a winch to load and unload the aerial platform on
ramps that exceed the grade capability of the machine. A
winch may also be used when conditions of the ramp
could cause driving to be hazardous.
5. Rotate the platform so it is perpendicular to the boom.
6. Retract the tip boom and raise the main boom or jib
so it is horizontal.

Chapter 9 – Stowing and T ransporting
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
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.
2. Raise the main boom about 1′ (0.3m).
3. Place a large wood block under the tip end of the
main boom or jib foot (TB85J). Lower the platform so
the boom or foot rests on the wood block.
4. Remove all personnel, tools, materials, or other loose
objects from the platform.
5. Turn the start switch off and place the platform control cover over the upper controls if the machine is
equipped with that option.
6. Place the lower controls emergency stop switch in
the off position. Turn the start switch off and remove

10. Use wire-ties to fasten the platform gate to the guardrails to prevent the gate from bouncing. Also, use
wire-ties to fasten the platform foot switch to the platform floor.
11. Determine if the platform is made of steel or aluminum. Steel platforms have toeboards with rolled edges
an aluminum platforms have toeboards with straight
edges.
ACaution
Aluminum toeboards are not strong enough to use
when securing the platform to the transport vehicle.
Damage to the platform will occur if the nylon strap
is placed over the toeboards. Thread the strap
through the platform mounting bracket or over the
mid rail when securing an aluminum platform.
12. Use a nylon strap to securely fasten the platform
against the wood block. On steel platforms, thread
the strap over the toeboard as shown in Figure 9.6.
13. On aluminum platforms, thread the strap over the
platform mounting bracket or the mid rail as shown
