Snorkel TB37 2001 - Manual (Page 32)

Lanyard Anchors
There are two lanyard anchors below the upper control
panel (refer to Figure 7.20).
Visually inspect the lanyard anchors to make sure they
are in place, are not deformed and are securely fas-
tened to the platform.
Operating Controls
Use the following procedure to operate the machine
from the upper controls.
1. Turn the battery disconnect switch on.
2. At the lower controls, place the emergency stop
switch and the master switch in the on position.
Place the control switch in the platform position.
3. At the upper controls (refer to Figure 7.21), pull the
emergency stop button out.
Figure 7.21—Upper Controls
4. Turn the anti-restart master switch to start until the
engine starts, then release it.
5. Let the engine warm to operating temperature.
Pinch points may exist between moving compo-
nents. Death or serious injury can result from be-
coming trapped between components, buildings,
structures, or other obstacles. Make sure all per-
sonnel stand clear of the aerial platform while per-
forming the prestart inspection.
6. Test the platform foot switch by moving a boom
function switch without stepping on the foot switch.
If movement occurs the interlock is not functioning
properly. Do not operate the machine until the prob-
lem is corrected.
7. Test the operation of each control in both directions
from the upper controls.
8. The drive range switch and maximum travel speeds
are interlocked through a limit switch on the turnta-
ble that senses the main boom position. When the
main boom is raised approximately 8
′
(2.4 m) the
machine should travel in low speed only. To operate
in high speed the booms must be stowed.
Emergency Stop
Push the emergency stop button in to turn off the en-
gine. The upper control functions should not operate
with the emergency stop in this position.
Emergency Power
Pull the emergency stop button up and place the
anti-restart master switch in the on position.
Hold the engine/emergency power switch in the emer-
gency power position and step on the platform foot
switch to operate the aerial platform from the upper con-
trols using the emergency power system.
Horn
Press the horn button to ensure that it sounds to warn
personnel in the area.
Electrical Power Outlet
Connect a source of 125 volt AC power to the
power-input connector on the left side of the lower con-
trol panel (refer to Figure 7.22).
Figure 7.22—Power-Input Connector
Some machines may have an electrical outlet at the
platform, but no power-input connector. In that case,
power is supplied by an optional AC generator. An exter-
nal power source is not required.
With the engine running, place the machine/generator
control (refer to Figure 7.23) in the generator position to
provide electrical power to the two electrical outlets at
the platform and to the outlet on the end of the generator
housing.
