Water or anti-freeze solution in the air line might
damage some air tools. If you use the air line to
conduct water or anti-freeze solution be sure to
drain and blow out the air line before attaching
air tools.
The air line can be used to conduct air, water, or
anti-freeze solution. If you want to conduct other
liquids, contact the Snorkel Engineering
Department for compatibility information
To drain the air line:
1. Close the turntable end of the air line.
2. Open the platform end of the air line.
3. Raise the main boom slightly above the
horizontal.
4. Open the turntable end of the air line.

COLD WEATHER START KIT
Y
Block Heaters
C A U TIO N
Unplug the block heater just before starting the
engine. That will keep you from driving off while
the heater is still plugged in.
The block heater in a Continental or Cummins
engine is a freeze-plug type block-heater. The
engine is heated by convection of water that is
warmed by the heater. The heater is located in a
freeze-plug hole just below the engine exhaust
manifold. If the engine starting temperature is
expected to be 32°F (0°C) or below, plug the
power cord from the heater into 110 - 120 V ac,
600 watt source eight hours before starting the
engine.

Ether Injection
A Cummins diesel engine might have ether
injection instead of a block heater. Ether injection
should only be used to start a cold engine when
the ambient temperature is below 32
°
F (0
°
C).
Check to see that there is a can of ether installed
in the holder in the battery compartment. If there
is no can of ether:
1. Turn the BATTERY switch to OFF.
2. Unscrew the holding cup.
3. Put a can of ether in the cup.
4. Screw the cup firmly back into place.
5. Set the BATTERY switch to ON.
Start the engine from the ground-control box in
the normal way. While the MASTER KEY
SWITCH is in START (and the engine is
cranking) press the COLD START button.
Pressing the COLD START button injects a
measured amount of ether into the intake
manifold regardless of how long you hold the
button in.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine longer than
20 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait
two minutes then try again.

DRIVING LIGHTS
C A U TIO N
Together the four lights draw nine amperes. If
you work with the lights turned on and the engine
turned off, the batteries can discharge to the
point they will not start the engine nor run the
EMERGENCY POWER hydraulic pump. If you
cannot leave the engine running while the lights
are on, start and run the engine at least 15
minutes in each hour.
Driving lights are for driving on dimly lit
construction sites, they are not for driving on
public thoroughfares. The LIGHTS switch on the
platform-control box turns the lights on and off.
For the lights to work, both the BATTERY switch
and the MASTER KEY SWITCH must be ON.
