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 keyswitches off and removing key.

DO NOT attempt to move this machine with the mast in an elevated position This machine weighs in excess of 760lb (345kg) and MUST only be manoeuvred on firm, level ground...
Outrigger Installation Installing Outriggers 1. Remove the outriggers from storage Indicator Lights Bubble Level locations on the sides of the mast. 2. Insert into the outrigger socket in the base (Figure 1). Locking Pin 3. Push in until the locking pin engages the hole in the end of the outrigger.
Pre-Operation Safety Inspection Hydraulic Reservoir NOTE: Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions, labels and National Safety Instructions/Requirements. Perform the following steps each day before use. 1. Check that all four (4) outriggers are properly installed. 2. Check that the base is level. 3.
Operation Before operating the machine, ensure that the Pre-Operation Safety Inspection has been completed and that any deficiencies have been corrected. Never operate a damaged or malfunctioning machine. The operator must be thoroughly trained on this machine. 1. AC Units: connect the power unit plug to an approved extension cord. 2.
9. Secure the unit with suitable tie straps using the forklift pockets located under the base of the unit, and either the upper caster axle on the UL25 models or the tilt back frame on the UL32 and UL40 models.
Transporting the Work Platform 1. Unsecure the unit. 2. Release the locking pin and pull the T-handle out until the locking pin engages the hole in the end of the T-handle. 3. Roll the unit back until the rear wheels are off the edge of the tailgate or vehicle bed. 4.
Passage Through a Doorway The UL32 and UL40 are equipped with a castered rear Tilt Back assembly. When the unit is tilted back onto this support frame, the overall height is reduced to allow the unit to pass through a standard doorway.

Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries. Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water. Always replace batteries with Snorkel batteries or manufacturer approved replacements weighing 22 kg (48 lbs.) each. • Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the work platform is being used in a warm, dry climate.

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. The inspection and maintenance schedule should be performed at the specified inter- vals.

This section contains instructions for the maintenance of the Work Platform. Refer to the General Informa- tion section for information relevant to all Snorkel work platforms. Referring to the Operator Manual will aid in understanding the operation and function of the various components and systems of the work platform, and help in diagnosing and repair of the machine.
Section Maintenance 2.0 Introduction 2.1 Preventative Maintenance (Table 2-1) This section contains instructions for the maintenance of the UL-Series Lifts. Procedures for the operational check- The complete inspection consists of periodic visual and out adjustment, scheduled maintenance, and repair/ operational checks, together with all necessary adjustments removal are included.
Section Maintenance 2.2 Lubrication Refer to Figure 2-1 for location of items that require lubrication service. Use an aerosol chain lubricant for all components to be lubricated that require oil. CASTERS Using a grease gun, apply 1 or 2 shots of multi-purpose bearing grease to each zerk fitting.
Section Maintenance 2.3 Battery Maintenance BATTERY CHARGING (Figure 2-3) Charge battery at end of each work shift or sooner if (DC units only) battery has been discharged. Electrical energy for the motor is supplied by a 12-volt battery. Proper care and maintenance of the battery and motor will ensure maximum performance from the lift.
Section Maintenance BATTERY CELL EQUALIZATION The specific gravity of the electrolyte in the battery cells should be equalized monthly. To do this, charge batteries as outlined in Battery Charging. After this initial charge, Check the hydraulic system pressure whenever the check the electrolyte level in all cells and add distilled pump or relief valve has been serviced or replaced.
Section Maintenance 3. Remove cotter pins, and drive out chain retaining pins 2.5 Mast Assembly (Figure 2-6,2-7) from the top front of stage 5. Disassembly 4. Loosen screws from strap retainer on stage 5 top casting. Pull strap free of retainer. Using a suitable lifting device, lower the work platform 5.
Section Maintenance 2.5 Mast Assembly (Cont.) #4 Mast 1. Set #4 mast in place with the sequencing strap inside 4. Disconnect chain from top of #2 mast. and the chains on the bottom. 5. Remove cylinder by following instructions in Section 2.7. 2.
Section Maintenance 2.5 Mast Assembly (Cont.) 2.6 Cylinder Assembly SEAL REPLACEMENT (Figure 2-8) Platform Support Assembly Note: The Lift Cylinder Seal can be accessed from the 1. Slide cage support weldment into the top of the bottom of the Lift without removing the Cylinder platform assembly weldment.

Section Maintenance 8. Clean orifice valve hole with a straight pin. Flush with 2.6 Cylinder Assembly (Cont.) solvent to remove any contamination that may remain in bleeder tube. ORIFICE VALVE CLEANING 9. Reinstall orifice / bleeder tube into rod end cap and Using a suitable lifting device, lower the work platform secure with snap ring.
Section Maintenance 7. Remove the screws and washers, attaching the #2 and #3 bottom castings to the #2 and #3 mast assemblies. 8. While keeping tension on the tie rods, slide the cylinder and #2 and #3 bottom castings out the bottom of the UL Lift far enough to expose both castings.
Never operate a machine with the pinch shield removed, except for inspection. FASTENERS Use the following values to torque fasteners used on Snorkel Work Platforms unless a specific torque value is called out for the part being installed. Table 2-3: Bolt Torque...
