Hoisting - Snorkel S3215L Operator's Manual

Chapter 10 – Stowing and Transporting
The machine may be equipped with a loading control
station beneath the upper control box on the platform
guardrail. Drive functions may be operated from this
location when loading the machine. The loading controls
may be a fixed side drive or a corded pendant (refer to
Figure 10.6).

Danger
Pinch points may exist between moving components.
Death or serious injury will result from becoming
trapped between components, buildings, structures,
or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clear-
ance around the machine before moving the chassis.
Allow sufficient room and time to stop movement to
avoid contact with structures or other hazards.
Maintain at least 3' (1 m) between yourself and the ae-
rial platform when operating either the removable upper
controls or the loading controls from the ground outside
of the platform.
The loading controls allow for driving the machine while
standing on the ground, outside of the platform. Always
look in the direction of movement when operating the
loading controls.

Drive Reverse
Use the following procedure to operate the drive and steer
functions from the loading controls.
1. From the upper controls, pull the emergency stop
button outward.
2. Raise the door on the right side of the platform to
access the loading controls (refer to Figure 10.6).
3. Push and release the interlock button.
Note
You have five seconds to activate a drive or steer control after
pressing the interlock button. After five seconds, the interlock
button will have to be pressed again.
4. The drive switches (refer to Figure 10.6) are momen-
tary contact. These switches control the two front
wheels to drive the aerial platform.
On the pendant – engage the interlock button
y
and hold down either the drive forward or drive
reverse button.
On the fixed sided drive – to drive forward,
y
press the interlock button inward and hold the
switch forward. To drive in reverse, press the
interlock button and hold the switch rearward.
Note
To make an emergency stop push the emergency stop
button inward to apply the parking brakes.
5. The steer switches (refer to Figure 7.4) are mo-
mentary contact. These switches control the
two front wheels to steer the aerial platform.
On the pendant – press the interlock button and
y
hold down either the steer left or steer right button.
On the fixed side drive – press the interlock button
y
and hold the switch in the appropriate direction
to steer either left or right.
Note
Holding the steer switch too long may result in a sharp
turn. This is especially true when driving and steering at
the same time. It may be easier to turn the wheels in small
increments using a series of quick taps on the switch.
6. Set the steer wheels straight ahead after completing
a turn. The steering wheels are not self-centering.

Hoisting

Use a four point sling arrangement attached to the lifting
lugs when hoisting the aerial platform. Machine damage
can occur if the sling is attached anywhere else.
