Electrocution
The ATB 42/50 is an all metal boom,
NON-INSULATED, aerial work platform.
DO NOT operate it near ELECTRICAL
conductors. Regard all conductors as being
energized.
DO NOT operate outside during a thunderstorm.
❑
Tipover and Falling Hazards
DO NOT operate the ATB 42/50 from a position
on trucks, trailers, railway cars, floating vessels,
scaffolds, or similar equipment unless the
application is approved in writing by Snorkel.
If the platform 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 free
the platform, remove all personnel from the
platform before attempts are made to free the
platform using ground controls.
Under normal working conditions it is best not to
transfer from the platform to another structure or
vice versa, unless that is the safest way to do the
job. Each situation must be judged separately
taking the work environment into account. The
following guidelines apply:
1. Where possible, place the work platform over
a roof or walking structure to do the transfer.
2. Transfer your anchorage from one structure
to another before you step across.
3. Remember, you might be departing the work
platform to a structure where personal fall
arrest is required.
4. DO NOT climb the rails. Use the entrance.
All platform occupants MUST wear and use fall
restraint. Attach fall restraints to the platform
lanyard anchor points.
DO NOT exceed the unrestricted platform
capacity as indicated on the capacity placard at
the entrance to the platform.
DO NOT raise the boom if the ATB 42/50 is on
soft ground. Operate the boom only on a firm
surface capable of withstanding all load forces
imposed by the aerial platform in all operating
conditions.
Do Not carry loads that extend beyond the
platform guardrails without prior written consent
from Snorkel.
Care shall be taken to prevent rope, electrical
cords, and hoses, etc., from becoming entangled
in the aerial platform.
Raise the platform only when the ATB 42/50 is on
level ground.
Maintain a firm footing on the platform floor.
Climbing on the guardrails is prohibited.
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 ATB 42/50 as a crane, hoist, or
jack.
DO NOT operate the ATB 42/50 in winds, or wind
gusts, of 28 mph (45 km/h) or more.
DO NOT add anything to the ATB 42/50 that will
increase the wind loading (banners, flags, etc.).
❑
Crushing
Always look in the direction of travel. Avoid
overhead obstructions.
Never cover the floor grating or otherwise
obstruct your view below.
Make sure the area below the platform is free of
personnel before lowering.

General Safety Precautions
❑
Personnel Precautions
If you encounter any suspected malfunction of
the aerial platform, or any hazard or potentially
unsafe condition relating to capacity, intended
use, or safe operation, cease operation 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 the gate,
is in place and secure.
