Snorkel AB46J - Manual (Page 51)

8. Operation
■ Operating Procedures
This chapter explains how to properly start and
operate an AB46J. Read and understand all the
previous chapters in this manual before you
begin to operate an AB46J.
If you use the AB46J for painting be sure the
optional sandblast protection kit is installed to
protect the hydraulic cylinder rods from paint.
■ Control Stations
An AB46J can be operated from the ground
control box or from the platform control box.
There are basically two differences between
ground control and platform control operations,
both are safety related:
1. The ground control box can override the
platform control box at any time. If a person
operating the machine from the platform
becomes incapacitated, a person on the
ground can always take over machine
control.
2. The AB46J can only be driven from the
platform control box. The wheels cannot be
made to move from the ground control box.
This prevents ground control operators from
running over themselves.
The AB46J is not Electrically Insulated.
Death or Serious Injury to operating
personnel, can occur if the machine should
come into contact with energized electrical
wires during operation.
DO NOT attempt to operate the AB46J ground
controls if the platform, booms, or any other
conducting part of an AB46J is in contact with
energized electrical wires or if there is an
immediate danger of such contact.
See the "Electrical Hazard" section, in this
manual for a complete explanation of the
hazards concerning electricity.
■ Emergency Stopping
To stop an AB46J, push either the Emergency
Stop button at the ground control box or at the
platform control box in.
Ground control box Emergency Stop switch
location.
Platform control box Emergency Stop switch
