1. DO NOT operate this machine unless you have been fully trained in its safe use.
2. DO NOT operate the machine on soft, slippery or sloping ground unless adequate
precautions have been taken.
The stabilisers are designed to operate on firm level ground with a minimum bearing
strength of 50N/cm 2 .
The maximum load imposed by an outrigger is 10.3kN.
Advice should be obtained from Snorkel as to the type of supports and precautions
required before attempting to operate the machine outside these parameters.
3. DO NOT use any equipment in the basket to increase the reach or working height of the
machine, e.g. ladders.
4. DO NOT fit any additional equipment to the machine that would increase the wind
loading, e.g. notice boards.
5. DO NOT use the machine for any application that may produce special loads or forces:
the manufacturer, Snorkel, must be consulted for approval of special applications prior
to use.
6. DO NOT use the
machine close to live
electrical conductors.
The minimum safe
working distance for
a machine working
near overhead power
cables is the maximum
extended length of the
booms plus 15 metres,
measured with the
booms pointing towards
the lines, i.e. safe
working distance for
the TL37J is 20 metres.
It is the operator‘s
responsibility to ensure
that, when working in
the vicinity of live overhead high-voltage lines, the minimum safe working distance is
maintained. Erect a simple barrier tape at the safe distance.
7. WORKING CLOSE TO POWER CABLES – if work has to be carried out at less than
the safe working distance, the operator must ensure that the electricity supply
has been switched off. Before commencing work, a written permit to work must be
obtained from the owners of the power cables or the responsible authority.
