Operation
The aerial platform has built-in safety features and has
been factory tested for compliance with Snorkel speci-
fications and industry standards. However, any aerial
platform can be potentially dangerous in the hands of
untrained or careless operators.
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when the
aerial platform is operated by personnel who are not
trained and authorized. Death or serious injury can
result from such accidents. Read and understand
the information in this manual and on the placards
and decals on the machine before operating the
aerial platform on the job.
Training is essential and must be performed by a
qualified person. Become proficient in knowledge and
actual operation before using the aerial platform on
the job. You must be trained and authorized to perform
any functions of the aerial platform. Operation of the
aerial platform must be within the scope of the machine
specifications.
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 aerial platform must be qualified to do so. Following
the daily prestart inspection in this Operator’s Manual will
help keep the aerial platform in optimum working condi-
tion. Other maintenance functions must be performed
by maintenance personnel who are qualified to work on
the aerial platform.
Do not modify this aerial platform without prior writ-
ten consent of the Snorkel Engineering Department.
Modification may void the warranty, adversely affect
stability, or affect the operational characteristics of the
aerial platform.
