Snorkel MX19-sn14000-19999 - Manual (Page 2)

Page 2 MX15/19
This manual covers all models of the MX 15 and MX19 Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms.
This manual must be stored on the machine at all times.
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions, labels, and the Scaf-
fold Industry Association’s MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES. Perform the following steps each
day before use.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, oil leaks, or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the platform fully lowered. The hydraulic reservoir is
located at the rear of the machine. The oil level should be visible through the side of the tank,
and must be between the MIN and MAX lines (see Figure 2). Add hydraulic fluid if necessary.
3. Check that fluid level in the batteries is correct (See Battery Maintenance, page 8).
4. Verify that batteries are charged.
5. Check that A.C. extension cord has been disconnected from the plug in the left Chassis Mod-
ule, and that the module doors are closed and locked.
6. Check that all guardrails are in place and all fasteners are properly tightened.
7. Inspect the machine thoroughly for cracked welds and structural damage, loose or missing
hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged control cable, loose wire connections and wheel bolts.
8. Move machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area to allow for full elevation.
9. Pull Chassis Emergency Stop Switch to the ON position.
10. Pull Platform Emergency Stop Switch to the ON position.
