Snorkel SP22 - Manual (Page 36)

■ Operator’s Manual
Make certain the manual holder (refer to Figure
6.2) is securely fastened to the Base.
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.
❑
Coolant
The Cummins engines are liquid cooled. When the
engine is cold, there should be about 1² (2.5 cm) of
coolant in the bottom of the reservoir (refer to
Figure 6.3).
Engine coolant escaping under pressure
can cause serious burns. Shut the engine off
and let it cool before removing the radiator
cap.
Add coolant, if necessary, when the engine is cold
and not running. When running at operating
temperature the coolant should be at the Hot level.
Figure 6.3—Cummins Coolant Reservoir
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.
