Chapter 8 – Operation

TB66J – 0083740 57

Figure 8.10 – Upper Controls

The lights are operational when the upper controls

emergency stop button is pulled up and the start switch

is turned on.

The engine speed increases to high idle when the plat-

form work lights are turned on.

Note

Working with the platform work lights on, while the en-

gine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that the

engine will not start and 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 Glazier Package

The glazier package allows the platform operator to

position glass at the work place. Refer to the Glazier

Package manual (Snorkel Part Number 0421269) for

information on proper use of the glazier package.

The package includes two lined trays with keeper pins,

platform rail padding, and tie-down straps with protectors

(refer to Figure 8.11)

Platform Capacity

The platform rated work load is the total weight of the

personnel and equipment that may be lifted in the

platform. The work load is stated on the platform rat-

ing placard mounted on the toeboard at the rear of the

platform.

The maximum total load carried by the glazier trays must

not exceed 250 lb (113 kg). The weight of the load in

the trays reduces the platform capacity by the amount

of the load.

Bump Guard System

The optional bump guard system is a spring mounted

padded railing below the platform. There are two infrared

lights mounted along the bottom of the platform next

to two infrared sensitive switches. The lights shine on

reectors on the bump guard system and are reected

back to the switches.

If the bump guard comes into contact with a stationary

object, the bump guard moves and one or both of the

light beams is broken. A dark switch removes control

from the platform control box, immediately stopping all

platform movement.

To override the bump guard infrared switch, in order to

move away from the stationary object, do the follow-

ing:

1. At the upper controls, hold the proximity override

switch up.

2. Use the controls on the upper control box to move

the platform away from the stationary object.

3. Return the proximity override switch to normal op-

eration.
