AC Generator
The optional generator supplies power to the electrical
outlet only when the engine is running and the machine
is stationary. The machine functions will not operate when
the generator switch is in the generator position.
A
Caution
Cold hydraulic oil does not flow well and may produce
improper generator output voltage. Improper outlet
voltage can damage some electrical power tools and
equipment. Warm the hydraulic oil before operating
the generator.
Do not operate the generator unless the hydraulic oil is at
operating temperature. Refer to Cold Weather Start-Up
for a hydraulic oil warm-up procedure.
To supply power to the electrical power outlet, start the
engine and place the generator switch in the generator
position.
The engine will run at high idle while the generator is
operating. The generator will continue to operate as long
as the engine is running and the switch is in the genera-
tor position.
Air Line
The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool
operation at the platform.
• The input connector is at the rear of the chassis and
the output connector is at the platform on the rotator
guard.
• The maximum working pressure of the line is 250 psi
(1,723 kPa).
The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact Snorkel for compatibility information
before using the air line to conduct other fluids.
A
Caution
Fluid in the air line may damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fluids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the rear of the turn-
table.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
3. Raise the riser and main booms slightly above hori-
zontal.
4. Open the input connector on the turntable.
5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.
6. Lower the boom and close both connections.
