Drive/Lift Level Sensor Interlock; Electrical Power Outlet; After Use Each Day; Stabilisers - Snorkel S2255RT Operator's Manual

If an obstruction under the skids, or some other impair-
ment prevents the skids from locking into position, the
drive and steer functions will not operate.
Lower the platform and remove the obstruction when the
drive/lift pothole protector interlock is engaged.

Drive/Lift Level Sensor Interlock

When the platform is elevated above 6' (1.8 m), drive
and lift functions are interlocked through a level sensor
system.
The drive and lift functions will not operate and an alarm
will sound if the chassis is tilted more than the factory
preset level sensor value. The setting for the degree of
slope, side-to-side and front-to-rear, varies depending on
the requirements of the applicable governing body (ANSI,
CSA, CE, AS, NZS) that the machine was manufactured
to conform to.
Refer to the machines General Specifi cations for the drive/
lift level sensor interlock level sensor values.
If the drive/lift level sensor interlock shuts off the platform
raise and drive functions, lower the platform and drive
to a level surface.

Electrical Power Outlet

Power-Input Connector
Figure 8.4 – Rear of Chassis
To use the outlet, plug a source of power into the pow-
er-input connector. Unplug the source of power before
moving the aerial platform.

After Use Each Day

1. Ensure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on a fi rm level surface, preferably
under cover, secure against vandals, children and
unauthorized operation.
3. Turn the controls selector switch to OFF and remove
the key to prevent unauthorized operation.

Stabilisers

The platform must be fully lowered to enable the
stabilisers to operate.
Once the platform is raised the stabilisers cannot be
set or adjusted.
Before operating the stabilisers check to see that the
ground conditions under the four (4) stabiliser pads is
fi rm, stable and unobstructed.
Danger
If the platform is up and the ground compresses
unevenly under diff erent stabiliser pads the ma-
chine might fall over causing serious injury or
death. Check the level bubbles frequently during
operation. If any movement of the bubble(s) occurs,
immediately lower the platform and readjust the
stabilisers to re-center the bubble(s) in the markers.
When using the stabilisers always check that all four
(4) are fi rmly on the ground and that they are clear of
manhole covers, drains, etc, which may collapse. If the
ground is at all soft, suitable dunnage should be placed
under the feet to spread the weight. If you are at all
unsure regarding the load bearing situation consult a
competent person.
DANGER
Death or serious injury can result if the machine tips
over. Do not use the stabilisers to gain extra work-
ing height, they are not designed for that purpose.
At least one (1) of the stabilisers should raise the
S2255RT/S2755RT above the ground. Use the other
three (3) to level the machine as necessary.
The S2255RT/S2755RT will not drive unless all four (4)
stabilisers are completely raised i.e. If any one (1) of
the stabilisers is even slightly lowered the drive function
is disabled.

Operating The Stabilisers Manually

To set the stabilisers

Ÿ The engine must be running and the machine set
for platform control box operation.
Note
In order to operate any of the stabilisers you must
squeeze the interlock switch at the same time as you
operate the individual stabiliser switches.
You must do this when raising or lowering the stabilisers.
