PLATFORM WORK LIGHTS
The platform work lights are located on top the
platform guard rail. For the lights to work the
BATTERY switch must be ON and the following
switches, on the ground-control box, must be set
as indicated:
SELECTOR SWITCH .......PLATFORM
EMERGENCY STOP........UP FOR RUN
MASTER KEY SWITCH ...ON
The toggle switch on the back of a light turns it
on.
If you want to change the direction a light points,
use two 1/2” box-end wrenches to loosen the
clamp immediately below the light, point the light
where you want it, then retighten the clamp.
C A U TIO N
Incandescent lights draw three amperes (35
watts) each. Halogen lights draw four amperes
(50 watts) each. 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 or 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.

AIR LINE TO PLATFORM
The input to the air line is on the bottom left-
rear of the turntable. The outlet is on the
platform mounting frame. The maximum safe
working pressure for the air line is 250 psi
(1725 kPa).
C A U TIO N
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 jib boom completely up.
4. Raise the main boom slightly above the
horizontal.
5. Open the turntable end of the air line.

DRIVING LIGHTS
C A U TIO N
Together the four lights draw seven 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 or 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. Two 30 watt headlights are
located on top of the front cowling, two 25 watt
blinking taillights are on the sides of the rear
cowlings. Each headlight has a toggle switch to
turn it on and off. Both blinking taillights are
controlled by a switch just in front of the right
taillight. For any of the lights to work both the
BATTERY switch and the MASTER KEY
SWITCH must be ON.

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
