In the event of loss of electrical power the Telescopic Cyl-
inder can be retracted as follows:
1. Remove the cover from the chassis body.
2. The Handpump is attached to the Main Manifold
Block. Remove the Handpump Handle from the
clips on the side of the Chassis and insert into the
Handpump Valve as shown in Figure 3-5.
3. Operate handpump to retract the tele cylinder.
4. After use replace the Handpump Handle in the clips

SNORKEL GUARD / OVERIDE SWITCH
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious injury
could result from such accidents. The Snorkel Guard
override switch must only be used when all controls are
released and in the neutral position. If a zero or neutral
state cannot be achieved, depress the emergency stop
and obtain assistance at the lower controls.
1. When machine is stopped due to activation of
the Snorkel Guard system, immediately depress
the emergency stop, release all controls. Perform
an assessment of the situation which caused the
system to activate.
2. If it is determined that all controls are released and
operation can proceed, return the emergency stop
to the on position, and activate the Snorkel Guard
override switch.
3. Activate the necessary functions to move the
platform away from the obstacle that caused the
Snorkel Guard activation.
4. Assess the machine for any damage. If damage
occurred, return to stowed position, exit the unit and
perform a thorough inspection before returning to
service.
