Snorkel TB37 2001 - Manual (Page 49)

The aerial platform is free to move when the drive
hubs are disabled. Death or serious injury can re-
sult. Securely fasten the tow vehicle to the aerial
platform before disabling the drive hubs.
Use the following procedure to manually disengage the
drive hubs and tow the machine.
1. With the machine in the stowed position, remove
the tow bar from the storage cradles at the rear of
the chassis and lay the toe bar near the front of the
chassis.
Pinch points may exist between machine compo-
nents. Death or serious injury can result from be-
coming trapped between components. Do not
attach the tow bar to the tow vehicle until the coun-
terweight is to the side of the chassis.
2. Rotate the turntable, until the counterweight is to
the side of the chassis, to allow room to attach the
tow bar.
3. Attach the tow bar to the front steering arm with the
tow pin and snap pin.
4. Attach the tow bar to the tow vehicle.
5. Rotate the turntable so the counterweight is back at
the front of the chassis. Raise the platform about 3
′
(1 m) above the ground.
6. Shut the engine off and turn the battery disconnect
switch off.
7. At each drive wheel, remove the two bolts from the
disconnect plate (refer to Figure 10.6). Turn the
plate over so the nipple points inward. Reinstall the
two bolts.

8. Pull the steering float valve knob out. The knob is lo-
cated behind the rear door on the right side of the
turntable next to the fuel tank.
9. Do not exceed 10 mile per hour (16 km/h) when
towing. Use caution when traveling around a curve
or when turning a corner. If the tow bar contacts the
chassis the steering mechanism might be dam-
aged or the tow vehicle and the aerial platform
could jackknife.
The aerial platform is free to move when the drive
hubs are disabled. Death or serious injury can re-
sult. Re-enable the drive hubs before operating the
aerial platform.
10. Push the steering float valve knob in.
11. At each drive wheel, remove the two bolts and re-
turn the plate to its original position as shown in Fig-
ure 10.6.
12. Unfasten the tow vehicle from the machine and re-
place the tow bar on the storage cradles.
13. Verify that the drive system operates properly.
