Driving Lights
Optional headlights and blinking tail lights may be installed
on the machine. The headlights are located on the top of
the front cowling. The tail lights are mounted on the sides
of the rear cowling.
Driving lights help improve visibility while driving the aerial
platform and help others see it too. Driving lights are not
for driving on public roadways.
Platform Work Lights
Optional platform work lights may be located on the top
rail of the platform, one on each side of the upper control
panel.
Snorkel Guard
The Snorkel Guard (refer to Figure 4.6) is a mechanically
activated guarding system which offers an additional level
of protection to the operator at the upper controls.
If an operator is involuntarily pushed against the
spring-loaded Snorkel Guard rail that is mounted above
the upper control panel, the machine functions are dis-
abled.
When the Snorkel Guard is activated:
• the horn sounds.
• the blue light under the upper control panel ashes.
• only main boom down and jib down functions will
operate.
