Snorkel PUSH10 - Manual (Page 7)

Special Limitations
PUSH6/PUSH8/PUSH10 – 0120843 5
Special Limitations
Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces
only.
Danger
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the
work platform is level and on a firm surface.
The work platform is NOT intended to be pushed over
uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
One person and tools may occupy the platform when the
machine is indoors only. The maximum platform capacity
for the aerial platform is stated in the “Specifications” on
pages 16 to 18.
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or
the platform occupancy limits for this machine.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to
objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.
In zero wind conditions the maximum allowable manual
force is limited to 200 N.
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual
force for this machine.
Lift Level Sensor Interlock
The aerial platform lift function is interlocked through a
level sensor system.
If the chassis is tilted more than 2 degrees side-to-side or
front-to-rear, an alarm will sound when the power is turned
on and the lift function will not operate. When the alarm
sounds, only the platform lower function will operate.
Position the machine on a level surface when the lift level
sensor alarm sounds. When the machine is properly po-
sitioned on a level surface, the alarm will not sound and
all functions will be operational.
The lift level sensor system is for added protection and
does not justify operating on anything other than firm,
flat, level surfaces.
Lowering Alarm
When a platform control button is pressed to lower the
platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to warn
personnel in the work area to stand clear.
Danger
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death
or serious injury will result if the scissors structure
lowers onto personnel within the scissors arms or
under the raised platform. Stand clear while raising
and lowering the platform.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands and
fingers away from the scissors structures components.
Lowering Interrupt
When the platform is lowered to about 1.5 m (5′) lower-
ing stops. The platform will not lower for five seconds
regardless of the control position to allow personnel to
clear the area of the scissors before the platform com-
pletely lowers.
Release the control to reset the lowering function, then
continue to lower the platform.
