Special Limitations; Platform Capacity; Manual Force; Beaufort Scale - Snorkel SL30SL Operator's Manual

SPECIAL LIMITATIONS

Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed range.
Elevating the Work Platform is limited to firm, level surfaces only.
D A N G E R
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the work platform is leveled and on a firm surface.
The work platform is designed to be driven over uneven, rough, or soft terrain,however great care is
required when traversing adverse terrain. Appropriate speeds should always be used.

PLATFORM CAPACITY

The maximum capacity for the MACHINE, including occupants is determined by model and options, and
is listed in "Specifications" on page 18.
D A N G E R
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or the platform occupancy limits for this machine.

MANUAL FORCE

Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.
The maximum allowable manual force is limited to 200 N (45 lbs.) of force per occupant, with a maximum
of 400 N (90 lbs.) for two or more occupants.
D A N G E R
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual force for this machine.

BEAUFORT SCALE

Never operate the machine when wind speeds exceed 12.5m/s (28 mph) [Beaufort scale 6].
BEAUFORT
RATING
m/s
3 3,4~5,4
4 5,4~8,0
5 8,0~10,8
6 10,8~13,9 38,9~50,0
7 13,9~17,2 50,0~61,9

LIFT OVERLOAD ALARM

If a load equivelent to 90% of safe working load is lifted a fault code "03" will be displayed on the digital
display on the platform control box. If a load which is greater than the safe working load is present in the
basket all machine functions will cease to operate and an acoustic warning will sound. In order to return
to normal operation a load equal to or less than the safe working load must be present in the basket
and the power must be re-cycled, power can be re-cycled by pushing the emergency stop button and
releasing it again.
D A N G E R
Never operate the machine with a platform load greater than the rated capacity.
