Fold Down Guardrails; Swing-Out Trays; Emergency Lowering; Flashing Light - Snorkel S3215E Operator's Manual

If the drive/lift level sensor interlock shuts off the platform
raise and drive functions, lower the platform and drive to
a level surface.

Fold Down Guardrails

The platform guardrails may be folded down to pass the
machine under low height obstructions.
Danger
The potential for an accident increases when the fold
down rails are lowered. Death or serious injury can
result in such accidents. Do not elevate the platform
with the fold down rails lowered. Use extreme care
when moving the aerial platform while the fold down
rails are lowered.
Use the following procedure to lower the platform guardrails.
1. Remove all materials from the platform floor and
retract the extension deck.
2. Remove the pin from the hinged top rail on the exten-
sion deck. Fold the hinged rail in as far as it will go.
3. Lift the left hand extension deck rail up and fold it
down inwards.
4. Remove the pin from the hinged top rail on the main
deck. Fold the hinged rail in as far as it will go.
5. Lift the left hand main deck rail up and fold it inwards.
6. Lift the right hand extension deck rail up and fold it
down inwards.
7. Lift the right hand main deck rail up and fold it inwards.
8. Reverse this procedure to reposition the rails.

Swing-Out Trays

Batteries and hydraulic components are enclosed in
swing-out trays on each side of the chassis.
• The battery trays each contain two batteries. There is
a battery tray at the front of the machine, both sides
of the chassis.
• The control valve tray on the right side of the chassis
contains the hydraulic control valve with the free-
wheeling valve, brake release valve and the brake
hand pump. The diagnostic center LCD display is
also in this tray.
• The hydraulic tray on the left side of the chassis
contains the hydraulic pump, reservoir and fluid filter.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury can result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Do not open the trays when the platform is
raised more than eight feet.

• To open a tray, pull upward on the latch and swing
the tray open.
• The latched tray must be opened first, before the bat-
tery tray can be opened.
• When closing the trays, close the battery tray first. The
latched tray holds both trays in the closed position.

Emergency Lowering

Use the following procedure to operate the emergency
lowering system.
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury can result from such accidents. Immediately
push the emergency stop button inward to disable the
control system before using the emergency lowering
system in the event of an emergency.
1. Immediately push the emergency stop button inward to
disable the control system in the event of an emergency.
2. Retract the platform extension deck if possible.
3. While standing clear of the scissors structure:
S3215E/S3219E – push downward on the emer-
y
gency lowering lever at the front of the machine
to lower the platform.
S3220E/S3226E/S4726E/S4732E – pull outward
y
on the emergency lowering handle at the rear of
the machine to lower the platform.
4. Make certain the lever/handle is fully released and
the emergency lowering valve is fully closed before
operating the aerial platform.

Flashing Light

An optional flashing light may be located under the upper
control box. The flashing light warns personnel that the
aerial platform is in the area.
The light flashes at about one flash per second during
normal operation, when the machine is set up for opera-
tion from the upper controls.
When the platform is lowered and the lowering interrupt
is active, the light is constantly on.

Removable Upper Controls/Side Drive

An optional removable upper control box or a side drive
pendant may be provided on the machine.
Danger
Pinch points may exist between moving components.
Death or serious injury will result from becoming
trapped between components, buildings, structures,
or other obstacles. Maintain at least 1 m (39.37")
