Snorkel SP18 - Manual (Page 36)

■ Operator’s Manual
The operators manual is located in the locker on
the base of the SP.
Figure 6.2—Operator’s Manual Holder
Check to see that the proper Operator’s manual is
with the aerial platform. The manual should be
complete with all pages intact and in readable
condition.
■ Engine
❑
Oil Level
Check the engine oil level before starting the
engine so the oil has drained to the pan. The proper
oil level is between the marks on the dipstick.
The distance between the top and bottom dipstick
marks corresponds to about 1 quart US (1 l). Add
oil, if necessary, before starting the engine.
❑
Cooling
Deutz engines are air cooled. Visually inspect the
air intake and fan (refer to Figure 6.4) to be sure
they are free of obstructions that could stop or slow
the flow of air. Inspect the fan belt to see that it is in
place and not cracked.
