trained and authorized. Death or serious injury could
result from such accidents. 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.
Training is essential and must be performed by a quali-
fied person.

The operator must be trained and authorized to per-
form any functions of the aerial platform.
y Operation of the aerial platform must be within the
scope of the machine specifications.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for following
all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings, regulations
and safety rules of their employer and/or any state or
federal law.
Maintenance
Complete machine inspection consists of periodic visual
and operational checks, along with periodic minor adjust-
ments that assure proper performance. The frequency
and extent of periodic inspections may depend on na-
tional regulations. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal
wear and prolong the life of all systems. The inspection
and maintenance schedule should be performed at the
specified intervals and after prolonged periods of stor
-
age before returning the machine to service. Inspection
and maintenance shall be performed by personnel who
are trained and familiar with mechanical and electrical
procedures.
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 condi-
tion. Other maintenance functions must be performed
by maintenance personnel who are qualified to work on
the aerial platform.
Caution
Welding current can be very intense. Damage to elec
-
tronic components may result. Connect the ground
clamp as close as possible to the area being welded.
Disconnect battery cables and any microprocessors
and control modules before welding on the machine.
If it becomes necessary to weld aerial platform com-
ponents as a method of repair, take all precautions to
prevent damage to electronic circuitry and devices on
the machine. This includes, but may not be limited to,
disconnecting battery cables and electronic devices.
Do not modify this aerial platform without prior written con-
sent of the Snorkel Engineering Department. Modification
may void the warranty, adversely affect stability, or affect
the operational characteristics of the aerial platform.

For proper used material disposal, refer to all applicable
national and/or employer standards before disposal of
any environmentally sensitive material including, but not
limited to, hydraulic fluid, batteries, and battery fluid.
