The lights are operational when the upper controls
emergency stop button is pulled up and the start switch
is turned on.
The engine speed increases to high idle when the platform
work lights are turned on.
Note
Working with the platform work lights on, while the en-
gine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that the
engine will not start and the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Platform Glazier Package
The glazier package allows the platform operator to posi-
tion glass at the work place. Refer to the Glazier Package
manual (Snorkel Part Number 0421269) for information
on proper use of the glazier package.
The package includes two lined trays with keeper pins,
platform rail padding, and tie-down straps with protectors
(refer to Figure 8.11).
Figure 8.11 – Glazier Package
Platform Capacity
The platform rated work load is the total weight of the per-
sonnel and equipment that may be lifted in the platform.
The work load is stated on the platform rating placard
mounted on the toeboard at the rear of the platform.
The maximum total load carried by the glazier trays must
not exceed 250 lb (113 kg). The weight of the load in
the trays reduces the platform capacity by the amount
of the load.
Bumpguard System
The optional bumpguard system is a spring mounted
padded railing below the platform. There are two infra-
red lights mounted along the bottom of the platform next
to two infrared sensitive switches. The lights shine on
reflectors on the bumpguard system and are reflected
back to the switches.
If the bumpguard comes into contact with a stationary
object, the bumpguard moves and one or both of the
light beams is broken. A dark switch removes control
from the platform control box, immediately stopping all
platform movement.
To override the bumpguard infrared switch, in order to
move away from the stationary object, do the following:
1. At the upper controls, hold the proximity override
switch up.
2. Use the controls on the upper control box to move
the platform away from the stationary object.
3. Return the proximity override switch to normal opera-
tion.
