Electrical Hazard
■ Minimum Safe Approach Distance
The Snorkelift is an all metal boom, NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED, aerial work platform. DO NOT
operate it near ELECTRICAL conductors. Regard all conductors as being energized. Use the table and
illustration below to determine safe clearance from electrical conductors. Table 1 and Figure 3 are
reprinted courtesy of Scaffold Industry Association, ANSI/SIA A92.5, page 23.

Denotes prohibited zone
Caution:
Danger: - Do not allow machine personnel or conductive
materials inside prohibited zone.
- Maintain M.S.A.D. from all energized lines and parts
as well as those shown.
- Assume all electrical parts and wires are energized
unless known otherwise.
- Diagrams shown are only for purposes of illustrating
M.S.A.D. work positions, not all work positions.
