Lanyard Anchors; Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter; Tilt Alarm; Engine Protection Systems - Snorkel AB60J Operator's Manual

Lanyard Anchors

Two lanyard anchors for fall restraint anchorage are pro-
vided below the upper controls at the front of the platform
(refer to Figure 4.5).
Note
The lanyard anchors are not designed for lifting or tying
the machine down.
All personnel in the platform must connect their fall

restraint device to a lanyard anchor before raising
the platform.
Attach only one fall restraint device to each lanyard

anchor.
Do not use the aerial platform for personal fall arrest

anchorage.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

The electrical power outlet at the platform (refer to Figure
4.7) contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to
provide protection for personnel.

Tilt Alarm

If the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than five
degrees when the main boom is raised or extended, or
when the riser boom is raised, an alarm will sound. The
tilt alarm is located at the upper control panel.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Do not drive or position the aerial platform
for elevated use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft
or uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard.
Completely lower the booms and then drive to a level
surface when the tilt alarm sounds.
The tilt alarm is for added protection and does not
justify operating on anything other than firm, flat, level
surfaces.

Engine Protection Systems

A constant alarm will sound to warn against high engine
temperature or low oil pressure.
The engine will shut-down
if the operating temperature exceeds a preset level

or if the oil pressure is too low for safe operation.


High Engine Temperature Alarm

If the coolant in a Continental, Cummins, Ford or GM
engine exceeds the engine operating temperature an
alarm will sound and the engine will shut off.
If the oil in a Hatz engine exceeds the engine operating
temperature an alarm will sound and the engine will shut
off. Any time there is no alternator current being produced,
an alarm will sound and the engine will shut off. This pre-
vents high engine temperature if the fan belt breaks.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that caused
the overheating has been corrected.

Low Oil Pressure Alarm

The low oil pressure alarm sounds when the engine oil
pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine operation.
If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the ground and
then turn the engine off.
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating

value the engine will shut off.
The engine can be restarted with low oil pressure,

but it will only run for a few seconds before it shuts
off again.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that

caused the low oil pressure has been corrected.

Horn

An optional horn may be used to warn personnel on the
ground. The horn is on the upper control box.
The horn is operational when the emergency stop button
and the start switches are both on, at the lower and the
upper controls.

All Motion Alarm

An optional all motion alarm may be provided on the ma-
chine. The alarm sounds, in short beeps, anytime the the
machine fuctions are being operated. The alarm is used
to warn personnel in the work area to stand clear.

Flashing Lights

The optional flashing lights mounted on the top of the
cowling on each side of the machine (refer to Figure 4.8)
may be used to warn personnel that the aerial platform
is in the area.
