Snorkel AB50JRT - Manual (Page 78)

■ Extra Battery
The extra battery is located at the rear of the
turntable. For a complete discussion of the extra
battery see the Battery section of the “Safety
Devices” chapter 2.
■ Cold Weather Start Kit
The cold weather start kit on an AB50J is a
freeze plug type block heater. The engine is
heated by convection of water that is warmed by
the heater. The heater is located in a freeze plug
hole just below the engine exhaust manifold. If
the engine starting temperature is expected to be
32°F (0°C) or below, plug the power cord from
the heater into 125 Volt AC, 600 watt source eight
hours before starting the engine.
Unplug the heater just before starting the
engine. That will keep you from driving off
while the heater is still plugged in.
■ Dual Fuel
The dual fuel option lets you run a gasoline engine
on either gasoline or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Instructions for using this option are listed
throughout this manual.
■ Operator Horn
For a complete discussion of the horn see the
Operator Horn section of the “Safety Devices”
chapter 2.
■ Lights
For a complete discussion of the following lights
see the “Safety Devices” chapter 2.
● Flashing lights
● Platform work lights
■ LPS Rating
LPS is a rating devised by Underwriters
Laboratory, Inc. for specialized industrial vehicles
that meet certain fire safety standards.
The rating specifies physical characteristics of
the electrical, exhaust, and fuel systems of
vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas
engines. An LPS rating signifies fire safety
characteristics that not only meet, but exceed,
the minimum standards for fire safety.
See ANSI/UL 558-1984 for specific information.
■ Sandblast Protection Kit
Sandblast protection for the AB50J consists of
bellows over the boom hydraulic cylinder rods.
The bellows prevent sand and paint from
damaging the cylinder rods and seals, and thus
prevent hydraulic oil leaks.
DO NOT paint or sandblast from an AB50J
unless the cylinder rods are protected by
bellows.
