Replaces February 2023 Original Instructions
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 the Minimum Safe
Approach Distance section in Chapter 3–Safety.

Regard all conductors as energized.

Allow for electrical wire sag and aerial platform sway.

If the platform, scissors structure, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage electrical
conductor, the entire machine can become electrically charged.

If that happens, remain on the machine and do not contact any other structure or object. This includes
the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the aerial platform.

Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock hazard
resulting in death or serious injury.

If an aerial platform is in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must warn ground
personnel in the vicinity to stay away. Their bodies can conduct electricity creating an electrical shock
hazard resulting in death or serious injury.

Do not approach or leave the aerial platform until the electricity has been turned off.

Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, scissors structure, or any part of the
aerial platform is in contact with a high-voltage electrical conductor or if there is an immediate danger
of such contact.

Personnel on or near an aerial platform must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing
that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.

California
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead components, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

 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.
Electrocution Hazard Tip Over Hazard Collision Hazard Fall Hazard

THIS MACHINE IS NEVER elevate the platform NEVER position the platform NEVER climb, stand, or sit

is on a firm, level surface. other hazards.
USE OF THE AERIAL WORK PLATFORM: This aerial work platform is intended to lift persons, their tools and materials
used for the job. It is designed for repair, assembly, stockpicking jobs, etc., and assignments at workplaces above head height
(ceilings, cranes, roof structures, buildings, shelving, etc.). All other uses of the aerial work platform are prohibited and the
rules below must be adhered to!
THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! Refer to applicable national standards for safe approach distances.
Exceeding the specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Platform Capacity” for details.
The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane is prohibited!
NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See “Manual Force” for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for stationary or moving obstacles and surface hazards such
as holes, drop-offs, bumps, curbs, or debris; and avoiding them. NEVER strike or bump into stationary or moving obstacles
while driving or raising, lowering, or extending the platform.
USE THREE POINTS OF SUPPORT when entering or exiting the platform. Grasp the handrails, not the doors, with one hand on
each side. Use two hands and one foot on the step when climbing into and out of the platform.
PLATFORM passengers should watch their hands and fingers for pinch points while holding on the guardrails while the
platform is moving.
OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of supporting wheel loads.
NEVER operate the machine when wind speeds exceed this machine’s wind rating. See “Beaufort Scale” for details.
Do not operate the aerial platform in windy or gusty conditions. Do not add anything to or take anything into the aerial platform
that will increase the wind loading such as billboards, banners, flags, etc.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions.
IF ALARM SOUNDS while platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower platform. Move machine to a firm, level surface.
Climbing up the railing of the platform, standing on or stepping from the platform onto buildings, steel or prefab concrete
structures, etc., is prohibited! NEVER exit or enter the platform when it is elevated.
Dismantling the entry gate or other railing components is prohibited! Always make certain that the entry gate is closed!
It is prohibited to keep the entry gate in an open position when the platform is raised!
To extend the height or the range by placing of ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on the platform is prohibited!
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is elevated without blocking elevating assembly.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose wire connections, and
damaged cables or hoses before using.
VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using.
NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.
To bypass any safety equipment is prohibited and presents a danger for the persons on the aerial work platform and in its
working range.
NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.
Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by Snorkel.
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning the keyswitch off and removing key.
The driving of MEWP’s on the public highway is subject to national traffic regulations.
Certain inherent risks remain in the operation of this machine despite utilizing proper design practices and safeguarding.
Care must be taken to ensure that the machines meets the requirements of stability during use, transportation, assembly,
dismantling when out of service, testing, or foreseeable breakdowns.
In the event of an accident or breakdown see “Emergency Lowering.” Do not operate the aerial platform if it is damaged or not
functioning properly. Qualified maintenance personnel must correct the problem before putting the aerial platform back into
service.
