Snorkel TB60 2001 - Manual (Page 35)

7. OPERATION
7 - 1 P/N 0082168
Read and understand all the previous chapters in
this manual before you begin to operate a TB 60.
Dual-fuel is the only optional equipment
discussed in this chapter. For operation of other
optional equipment, see the “OPTIONS” chapter.

CONTROL STATIONS
A TB 60 can be operated from the ground-
control panel or from the platform-control box.
There are basically two differences between
ground-control and platform-control operations,
both are safety related:
1. The ground-control panel can override the
platform-control box at any time. If a person
operating the machine from the platform
becomes incapacitated, a person on the
ground can always take over machine control.
D A N G E R
Do not attempt to operate the TB 60 ground
controls when the platform, booms, or any
other conducting part of an TB 60 is in
contact with energized electrical wires or if
there is an immediate danger of such contact.
2. The TB 60 can only be driven from the
platform-control box. The wheels cannot be
made to move from the ground-control panel.
This prevents ground-control operators from
running over themselves.

STARTING FROM THE GROUND-
CONTROL PANEL
Before you begin to operate the TB 60 a qualified
operator must perform the “DAILY INSPECTION
& MAINTENANCE” described in the chapter by
that name in this manual.
Y
Pre-start Conditions
After the DAILY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
has been performed, put the TB 60 into its pre-
start conditions. Pre-start conditions for operation
from the ground-control panel are:
1. Set the BATTERY switch (1) to ON (close the
battery-compartment door).
2. Check the circuit breakers (2) to see that none
has popped out (close the engine-compartment
door).
NOTE: You do not need to check the circuit
breakers on the platform-control box.
