WARNING SAFETY NOTICE PLEASE READ BEFORE USE If this machine has been transported in a container the wheels will have been flipped to get it into the container. This will make the machine narrower than the design intent. The machine may be driven with the wheels flipped to load & unload but only ever when in the stowed position. The machine must not be used for a job of work until the wheels have been flipped back round to their correct position.
Introduction SAFETY RULES Warning All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions before operating or performing maintenance on any Snorkel aerial work platform.
Introduction Introduction This manual covers the A62JRT Aerial Work Platform. This manual must be stored on the machine at all times. When contacting Snorkel for service or parts information, be sure to include the MODEL and SERIAL NUMBERS from the equipment nameplate. Should the nameplate be missing, the SERIAL NUMBER is also stamped at the rear of the chassis. Read, Understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions before attempting to operate the machine.
Special Limitations Special Limitations Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed range. Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces only. The system will remain in error mode until the excess load is removed from the platform and the emergency stop button or start switch is cycled off and back on, resetting the system. At that time, the machine functions are operational.
Controls and Indicators Controls and Indicators The operator shall know the location of each control and indicator and have a thorough knowledge of the function and operation of each before attempting to operate the machine. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21.
Controls and Indicators Battery Disconnect Switch If the platform is to stay in a particular position for a long time, turn the start switch to off to shut off the engine and save fuel. The battery disconnect removes electrical power from all electrically controlled functions when in the off position. Emergency Stop Button The emergency stop (refer to Figure 3) is a two-position, red push button. The battery disconnect is located at the right front of the turntable (refer to Figure 2).
Controls and Indicators • Hold the switch to the right to extend the booms. • Hold the switch to the left to retract the booms. Jib Articulation Switch The jib switch (refer to Figure 3) is used to raise or lower the jib. The switch is spring returned to the center off position. • Hold the switch upward to raise the jib. • Hold the switch downward to lower the jib. is below 0°C (32°F) and boom movement is sluggish because of cold fluid.
Controls and Indicators Caution A tripped circuit breaker indicates a malfunction in the electrical system. Component damage can result if the cause of the malfunction is not corrected. Do not operate the aerial platform if the circuit breaker trips repeatedly. Push the button to reset the circuit breaker. Upper Controls The upper controls (refer to Figure 4) are located on the control panel at the platform. Boom, platform, and drive functions can be operated from the upper controls.
Controls and Indicators Drive Range Switch The drive range switch (refer to Figure 4) has two positions to select drive wheel operation when the booms are in the stowed position; tip boom fully retracted and main boom fully lowered. • High range (rabbit) – high speed drive 6.1 km/h (3.8 mph) with booms in the stowed position. • Low range (turtle) – creep speed 1.2 km/h (0.75 mph) with high torque drive operation with booms in any position.
Pre-Operation Safety Inspection AC Generator Switch The switch for the optional AC generator is located on the front of the upper control panel. With the engine running, place the switch in the generator position to provide electrical power to the electrical outlet at the platform. Return the switch to the off position to turn off the generator and resume machine operation. Machine functions will not operate while the switch is in the generator position.
System Function Inspection System Function Inspection Refer to “Controls and Indicators” on page 7 for the locations of various controls and indicators. Warning 5. Test each machine function (jib, platform level, platform rotate, elevation, rotation, extension) from the lower control station by holding the ground operation switch up while operating the control toggle switches (ref: Figure 3 on page 7). STAND CLEAR of the work platform while performing the following checks. 6.
Operation Operation The aerial platform may be operated from either the lower or upper controls. Danger The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor. Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by national safety regulations. Pinch points may exist between moving components.
Operation Preparing for Operation Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform for operation. 1. Perform a prestart inspection as described in the “Daily Preventative Maintenance Checklist” on page 22. 2. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position. 3. Close and latch the cowling doors. Lower Controls The lower controls override the upper controls.
Operation Driving and Steering • Always look in the direction of movement as indicated by the directional arrows on the chassis. Danger The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not drive the machine on grades that exceed the percent gradeability of that particular machine.
Operation Warning The potential for an accident increases when safety devices do not function properly. Death or serious injury could result from such accidents. Do not alter, disable, or override any safety device. Do not use the aerial platform if it drives in high or mid speed when the main boom is above horizontal or the tip boom is extended. Pivoting Front Axle The front axle pivots to maximise tire contact with the ground. This helps to optimize both traction and machine stability.
Operation Lower Controls Use the following procedure to operate the machine using the emergency power system from the lower controls. 1. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position. 2. Place the key in the control selector switch and turn it to the lower control position. 3. Pull the emergency stop button outward. 4. Hold the ground operation switch in the on position while holding the engine/emergency power switch in the emergency power position. 5.
Transporting the Machine Transporting the Machine Preparing for Transportation Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform for transportation. 1. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other loose objects from the platform. 2. Close and latch all cowling doors. By Crane Secure the straps to chassis lifting/lugs only. Storage No service is required when storing, or removing the machine from service, for less than one week.
Maintenance Maintenance Battery Maintenance Warning Warning Never perform service while the platform is elevated. Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame, and smoking material away from batteries. Hydraulic Fluid The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located behind the left side chassis door. Refer to Figure 6. Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries. Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Inspection and Maintenance Schedule Inspection and Maintenance Schedule Caution Frequency and extent of periodic inspections may depend on national regulations. The complete inspection consists of periodic visual and operational checks, along with periodic minor adjustments that assure proper performance. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems.
