while using the glazier package. Death or se-
rious injury can result from such accidents.
Read, understand, and follow the safety in-
formation in this manual and in the aerial lift
Operator’s Manual to help prevent injury.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for
following all manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings, regulations and safety rules of their
employer and/or any state or federal law.
Maintenance
Every person who maintains, inspects, tests, or
repairs the glazier package components must be
qualified to do so. Daily inspection will help keep
the components in optimum working condition.
Other maintenance functions must be performed
by qualified maintenance personnel.
Do not modify this glazier package and its asso-
ciated components without prior written consent
of the Snorkel Engineering Department. Modi-
fication may void the warranty, adversely affect
stability, or affect the operational characteristics
of the aerial platform.
Placards and Decals
Include the glazier package placards and decals
in the daily Prestart Inspection of the machine.
Make certain they are in place, in good condition,
and are legible.
The placards and decals may be cleaned with
soap and water, and a soft cloth if the words or
pictures cannot be seen.

DA NG ER
M ACHINE TIPO VER HAZARD
DEATH or serious injury can result from im proper loading.
M axim um total load carried by glazier trays m ust not exceed 250 pounds.
Total com bined load carried inside platform and by glazier trays m ust not

The platform rated work load is the total weight of
the personnel 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.
Danger
The aerial platform will tip over if it becomes
unstable. Death or serious injury will result
from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the
capacity values indicated on the platform
rating placard.
Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity
and do not indicate aerial platform stability.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for
ensuring that the aerial platform is properly set
up for the particular conditions encountered.
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 plat-
form capacity by the amount of the load.
The trays are to be used to carry glass, or similar
panel material, to the work site and should never
be used as steps.
Make certain that the area below the platform
is clear of personnel before raising material to
the worksite.
Do not use the glazier package in windy conditions
that exceed the maximum wind speed rating as
indicated in the machine Operator’s Manual and
on the serial number placard on the machine.
