Air Line
The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool
operation at the platform.
• The input connector is at the rear of the turntable
and the output connector is at the platform on the
rotator guard.
• The maximum working pressure of the line is 250
psi (1,723 kPa).
The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact Snorkel for compatibility informa-
tion before using the air line to conduct other fluids.

Caution
Fluid in the air line may damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fluids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the turntable.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
3. Raise the main boom slightly above horizontal.
4. Open the input connector on the turntable.
5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.
6. Lower the boom and close both connections.
Driving Lights
The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas
and are not intended for driving on public roadways.
The machine may have two lights at the front of the
turntable or four lights, two at the front and two at the
rear of the turntable.
The lights are operational when the machine is set up
for operation from the upper controls and the light switch
is turned on.
If the engine is running, the idle speed increases when
the driving lights are turned on.
Note
Working with the driving or platform work lights on, while
the engine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that
the engine will not start or the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Platform Work Lights
The optional platform work lights are located on the top
rail of the platform next to the upper controls (refer to
Figure 8.10). The direction a light points can be adjusted
by using two ½″ wrenches to loosen the clamp below
the light.
