7. Test the platform foot switch by moving a boom
function switch without stepping on the foot switch.
If movement occurs the interlock is not function-
ing properly. Do not operate the machine until the
problem is corrected.
8. Test the operation of each control in both directions
from the upper controls.
9. The drive range switch and maximum travel speeds
are interlocked through a limit switch on the turntable
that senses the main boom position. When the main
boom is raised to just below horizontal 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 engine.
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
controls using the emergency power system.
Horn
Press the horn button to ensure that it sounds to warn
personnel in the area.
AC Generator
With the engine running, place the machine/generator
control (refer to Figure 7.20) in the generator position to
provide electrical power to the outlet at the platform and
to the outlet on the end of the generator housing.

The machine may be equipped with an optional drive
motion alarm. Drive in both the forward and reverse
directions to ensure that the alarm sounds to warn per-
sonnel in the area that the aerial platform is in motion.

platform working lights. Turn the engine on and use the
switch on the back of each light to momentarily turn it
on to see that it works.
Platform Control Cover
The machine may be equipped with an optional platform
control cover. Inspect the cover to ensure it fits properly
over the control panel.
Placards and Decals
Inspect all safety and operational placards and decals.
Make certain they are in place, in good condition, and
are legible.
The placards and decals may be cleaned with soap and
water, and a soft cloth if the words or pictures cannot
be seen.
A Caution
Solvents may contain hazardous ingredients. Fol-
low the manufacturer’s label for proper use and
disposal. Wear protective gloves and splash-proof
safety glasses when using solvents.
Wet paint overspray may be removed using a natural
biodegradable solvent and a soft cloth.
Replace any missing or illegible placards or decals
before operating the aerial platform. Placard and decal
kits are available from Snorkel dealers.
The safety related placards and decals are illustrated
