Snorkel AB46J - Manual (Page 11)

❑
Starting and Stopping Precautions
DO NOT start until all personnel are clearly away
from the machine.
Before leaving the operator’s station, place the
machine in the stowed position.
When leaving the machine parked or unattended,
remove the starter key from the Master Switch,
set the Battery switch to OFF, then lock the
Battery switch.
❑
Operating Precautions
DO NOT modify the AB46J in any way.
When parts or components are replaced, they
shall be identical or equivalent to original Snorkel
parts or components.
DO NOT override any of the safety features of the
AB46J.
Limit travel speeds according to conditions. Take
into account: grade, surface, congestion, visibility,
side slope, location of personnel, and other
hazards.
❑
Operator Maintenance Precautions
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area free of
flame, sparks, or other hazards that might cause
fire or explosion.
Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid. Sulfuric
acid will damage your eyes or skin on contact.
When you work around lead-acid batteries, wear
a face shield to avoid getting acid in your eyes.
Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing to
keep acid off your skin. If acid contacts your eyes,
flush immediately with clear water and get
medical attention. If acid contacts your skin, wash
off immediately with clear water.
DO NOT use your hand to search for hydraulic
oil leaks. High pressure hydraulic oil can easily
cut and penetrate your skin - a very serious
injury that requires immediate attention by a
medical specialist trained in that type of injury.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search
for hydraulic oil leaks.
DO NOT attempt repairs unless you are
trained. Refer to manuals and experienced
repair personnel for help.
■ Safety Decals and Placards
There are several safety decals and placards on
the AB46J. Their locations and descriptions are
shown in this section. Take time to study them.
Be sure that all the safety decals and placards
on the AB46J are legible. Clean or replace
them if you cannot read the words or see the
pictures. Clean with soap & water and a soft
cloth. DO NOT use solvents.
You must replace a decal or placard if it is
damaged, missing, or cannot be read. If it is
on a part that is replaced, make sure a new
decal or placard is installed on the replaced
part. See your Snorkel dealer for new decals
and placards.
Refer to Placards and Decals Inspection Chart
and drawing in the “Daily Inspection and
Maintenance” chapter 7, for part numbers,
location, and required quantities of all placards
and decals.
