The maximum total load carried by the panel carrier
must not exceed 50 lb (22.7 kg). The weight of the load
on the panel carrier reduces the platform capacity by the
amount of the load.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unsta-
ble. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over
accident. The panel carrier may increase wind loads
on the machine. Do not load the panel carrier anytime
the wind speed is greater than 28 mph (12.5 m/s).
Do not operate the machine with a load on the panel
carrier unless you have been fully trained and understand
the hazards associated with lifting panels attached to the
platform.
Air Line
The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool
operation at the platform.
• The input connector is on the left side of the turntable
and the output connector is at the platform on the
rotator guard.
• The maximum working pressure of the line is 250 psi
(1,723 kPa).
The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact Snorkel for compatibility information
before using the air line to conduct other fluids.
Caution
Fluid in the air line may damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fluids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the left side of the turn-
table.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
3. Raise the main booms slightly above horizontal.
4. Open the input connector on the turntable.
5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.
6. Lower the boom and close both connections.
Driving Lights
The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas and
are not intended for driving on public roadways. There are
two headlights at the front of the chassis and two blinking
taillights at the rear of the chassis.
460SJ – 1433685
The lights are operational when the machine is set up for
operation from the upper controls and the light switch is
turned on.
If the engine is running, the idle speed increases when
the driving lights are turned on.
Note
Working with the driving or platform work lights on, while
the engine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that
the engine will not start or the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Platform Work Lights
The optional platform work lights are located on the top rail
of the platform next to the upper controls (refer to Figure
8.11). The tilt of the light can be adjusted by using two
/
" wrenches to loosen the bolt below the light. The light

The lights are operational when the machine is set up for
operation from the upper controls.
Platform Glazier Package
The glazier package allows the platform operator to posi-
tion glass at the work place. Refer to the Glazier Package
manual (Snorkel Part Number 0421269) for information
on proper use of the glazier package.
The package includes two lined trays with keeper pins,
platform rail padding, and tie-down straps with protectors
(refer to Figure 8.12).
