Snorkel AB50JRT - Manual (Page 79)

■ Spark Arrestor
The spark arrestor prevents incandescent carbon
particles from coming out the tail pipe.
Baffles in the spark arrestor slow the flow of
particles through the exhaust system.
The additional time spent in the exhaust system
lets the carbon completely burn before it comes
out the tail pipe.
■ Platform Swinging Gate
The platform swinging gate is designed to
automatically close after you enter or leave the
platform.
It helps prevent people from falling off the
platform.
■ Tires
❑ Highway or Bar Lug
Standard highway tread tires and large bar lug
tires can be air filled.
Air filled tires should be visually checked several
times a day to see that they are properly inflated.
Air filled tires should be checked very carefully for
imbedded material, cuts, punctures, or abraded
areas
Death or Serious Injury can result if the
AB50J tips over. An air filled tire that has an air
leak or blow out is a tipover hazard. DO NOT
raise the platform if any tire has an air leak or
is in such condition that a blow out could
occur.
❑ Flotation Tires
Flotation tires are designed for use in sand,
gravel, or loose soil.
Their increased size helps keep the AB50J from
sinking into the ground. The increased size has
three other effects.
1. It increases the overall width of the AB50J
and increases the ground clearance a few
inches.
2. Flotation tires are pneumatic, they cannot be
foam filled.
3. It increases the overall height of the machine
a few inches.
