Snorkel AB46J - Manual (Page 62)

■ Towing
The Snorkelift AB46J has not been designed to
be towed.
DO NOT tow an AB46J.
A runaway AB46J can cause Death or
Serious Injury. If you have to move an AB46J
down a grade, chain a braking vehicle to the
“up hill “ end of the AB46J.
Be certain the braking vehicle has the capacity
to stop and hold both itself and the AB46J on
the steepest grade they will encounter and
under the prevailing environmental conditions.
In an emergency (if you do not have a forklift
large enough to lift an AB46J) when you have to
move a disabled AB46J a few feet to safety or for
repairs, do the following:
1. Chain a forklift or other heavy vehicle to the
front tie down lugs and chain a similar
vehicle to the back tie down lugs.
2. At each drive wheel, remove the two bolts (1)
and turn the disconnect plate (2) over so that
the nipple (3) points into the drive motor,
then reinstall the bolts (1). (This disengages
the brakes and lets the drive wheels free
wheel.)
3. Pull the AB46J, at less than 1 mph (1.6
km/hr.), to its new position then turn the
disconnect plates back over so the nipples
are out and the drive wheels locked.
4. Unchain the AB46J.
■ Lifting
An AB46J can be safely lifted.
However, to prevent any damage to the AB46J or
injury to personnel, only a trained qualified
service technician should perform lifting.
