Operation

The aerial platform has built-in safety features and has
been factory tested for compliance with Snorkel specifi-
cations and industry standards. However, any person-
nel lifting aerial platform can be potentially dangerous in
the hands of untrained or careless operators.

The potential for an accident increases when the
aerial platform is operated by personnel who are
not trained and authorized. Death or serious injury
can result from such accidents. Read and under-
stand the information in this manual and on the
placards and decals on the machine before operat-
ing the aerial platform on the job.

Training is essential and must be performed by a quali-
fied person. Become proficient in knowledge and actual
operation before using the aerial platform on the job.
You must be trained and authorized to perform any func-
tions of the aerial platform. Operation of the aerial plat-
form must be within the scope of the machine
specifications.

The operator bears ultimate responsibility for following
all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings, regula-
tions and safety rules of their employer and/or any state
or federal law.

Maintenance

Every person who maintains, inspects, tests, or repairs
the aerial platform must be qualified to do so. Following
the daily prestart inspection in this Operator’s Manual
will help keep the aerial platform in optimum working
condition. Other maintenance functions must be per-
formed by maintenance personnel who are qualified to
work on the aerial platform.

Do not modify this aerial platform without prior written
consent of the Snorkel Engineering Department. Modi-
fication may void the warranty, adversely affect stability,
or affect the operational characteristics of the aerial
platform.

Manual of Responsibilities

All owners and users of the aerial platform must read,
understand, and comply with all applicable regulations.
Ultimate compliance to OSHA regulations is the re-
sponsibility of the user and their employer.

ANSI publications clearly identify the responsibilities of
all personnel who may be involved with the aerial plat-
form. A reprint of the “Manual of Responsibilities for
Dealers, Owners, Users, Operators, Lessors and Les-
sees of ANSI/SIA A92.6-1999 Self-Propelled Elevating
Work Platforms” is available from Snorkel dealers or
from the factory upon request.
