Snorkel SR2770 - Manual (Page 50)

❑
Driving
1. The engine should be running. If not, start it
from the platform control box as described
above.
Figure 8.20
2. Set the Speed switch  to turtle (slow) (see
Figure 8.20) if you are going to be driving
close to other objects or need to move the
SR very slowly for other reasons.
NOTE
Setting the SPEED to rabbit doubles the travel
speed. (See the “Specifications” chapter 1 for
speeds of different models.)
3. Set the Lift/Drive Selector switch € to drive
(right) (see Figure 8.20).
The SR is about to move. If you have to make
an emergency stop, release the Joystick
Controller (3) and sharply strike the
Emergency Stop switch (4) straight in.
To make a normal stop, slowly move the
Joystick Controller  to its “centered”
neutral position then release it.
4. Squeeze and hold the Safety Control ƒ
against the Joystick Controller  (see
Figure 8.20).
5. Push the Joystick Controller  (see Figure
8.20) slowly forward or pull it slowly
backward, depending on which way you want
to go. The further you move the joystick the
faster the SR moves.
6. To make a right or left turn, press and hold
the Steering rocker-switch „ on top of the
Joystick Controller  (see Figure 8.20).
NOTE
When you release the Steering rocker-switch „
the steering wheels remain pointed in the
direction you left them. They do not return to
“straight ahead” the way automobile wheels do.
You will have to press the opposite side of the
Steering rocker-switch „ to return to straight
line travel. In tight spots you should stop the SR,
turn the wheels the direction you want to go,
then, after you have “aimed” the steering wheels,
squeeze the Safety Control ƒand move the
Joystick Controller  slowly forward or
backward.
❑ Raising the Platform
To raise the plat form from the plat form con trol box
do the fol low ing:
1. The engine must be running. If not, start it
from the platform control box as described
above.
Figure 8.21
2. Set the Lift/Drive Selector  (see Figure
8.21) to lift (left).
NOTE
If the Lift Indicator Light € is not lit, the
platform will not go up because: the chassis is
not level, the stabilisers (if present) are not
properly set, or the articulating axles (if present)
are not locked. Correct the problem then
continue.
NOTE
The platform is about to move. If you have to
make an emergency stop, release the Joystick
Controller  and sharply strike the Emergency
Stop switch ‚ straight in.
