Fall Restraint Lanyard Anchor Points All fall restraint lanyard anchor points on Snorkel aerial work platforms have been tested with a force of 3,650 lbs (16.3 kN) per person. See below examples of anchor points used on Snorkel machines with their corresponding per person rating.
NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas. Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by Snorkel. AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning the keyswitch off and removing key.
Additional copies of this manual may be ordered from Snorkel. Supply the model and manual part number from The standard machine includes the following features: the front cover to assure that the correct manual will be supplied.
Inspection Record (PDIR). The PDIR inspection the aerial platform must be qualified to do so. Following is performed by Snorkel, or it’s agent, before the machine the daily prestart inspection in this Operator’s Manual will is delivered to the customer. A completed PDIR form can help keep the aerial platform in optimum working condi- be obtained, by request, from the sales agent.
