Snorkel SR2770 - Manual (Page 30)

4. Choke Indicator Light (gasoline engines
only): This light will be lit while you choke the
engine.
4. Glow-Plug Indicator Light (diesel engines
only): This light will be on while the glow
plugs are on. Wait for the light to go out
before you try to start a diesel.
5. Safety Control The SAFETY CONTROL
must be squeezed against the JOYSTICK
CONTROLLER to activate the joystick
controller. If the safety control is not
squeezed the joystick controller is
inoperative.
6. Joystick Controller If the LIFT/DRIVE
SELECTOR is set to the left (lift function),
pushing the joystick controller forward
causes the platform to rise, pulling the
joystick controller backward causes the
platform to lower. If the LIFT/DRIVE
SELECTOR is set to the right (drive
function), pushing the joystick controller
forward causes the SR to move forward,
pulling the joystick controller backward
causes the SR to move backward. The
further you push or pull the controller the
faster the motion (except lowering-it occurs
at one speed only).
NOTE
Squeeze the SAFETY CONTROL anytime you
use the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER.
7. Steering The rocker switch on top of the
JOYSTICK CONTROLLER turns the front
wheels left or right depending upon which
side of the switch you press.
NOTE
The wheels do not return to straight ahead, after
a turn, the way automobile wheels do. You must
use the STEERING switch to straighten the
wheels after a turn.
8. Lift/Drive Selector When this switch is set to
the left the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER
becomes a lift/lower controller to raise or
lower the platform. When this switch is set to
the right the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER
becomes a drive controller to drive the SR
forward or backward. The SR will not drive
and lift at the same time.
9. Speed Set the switch to turtle (slow) when
you are working in close quarters or if you
are new to the machine. Setting the switch to
rabbit (fast) doubles the top speed of the SR.
10. Lift Indicator Light The platform can be
raised only when this light is lit. When this
light is not lit the platform will not rise
because: the platform is not level, or the
stabilisers are not properly set.
11. Drive Indicator Light The platform can be
driven when this light is lit. When it is not lit
the platform will not drive because with the
platform raised the base is not level or with
the platform raised the axle switches are not
set.
12. Stabilisers Each switch corresponds to one
of the stabilisers. Pull a switch backward to
lower an stabiliser, push it forward to raise
the stabiliser (see Figure 6.4).
❑ Self Levelling Stabilisers (optional)
Note:
Refer to Figure 6.5 below for Automatic Stabiliser
Switch operation. All other switch/indicator
functions remain the same for the Platform
Control Box.
13 For units fitted with self levelling stabilisers
the following applies:
To raise or lower the stabilisers
‘automatically’ switch 13 is used.
Press switch 13 momentarily (3 - 4 seconds)
to lower the stabilisers. The stabilisers will
lower and level the platform automatically.
Switch 13 can also be used to raise the
stabilisers to the stowed position. To do so
press (momentarily) in the raise direction and
all the stabilisers will raise automatically.
14 To operate the stabilisers individually switch
14 must be held “ON” (down) while each
individual switch 12 is used.
