Panel Carrier
Some machines may be equipped with an optional panel
carrier mounted to the right side of the platform.
The panel carrier is available on the following models:
y S3215L
y S3215E
y S3219E
y S3220E
y S4726E
y S4732E
The panel carrier consists of a tray mounted at the bottom
of the platform and a hook to slide down over the top of a
panel that is placed in the tray.
The platform rated work load is the total weight of the per-
sonnel and equipment that may be lifted in the platform.
The work load is stated on the platform rating placard
mounted on the toeboard at the front of the platform and
on the panel carrier decal.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unsta-
ble. Death or serious injury will result from a tipover
accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicat-
ed on the platform rating placard and on the panel
carrier decal.
Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity and do
not indicate aerial platform stability.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring
that the aerial platform is properly set up for the particular
condition encountered.
The load carried in the panel carrier reduces the platform
capacity and is shown on the panel carrier decal.
Use the following procedure to load the panel carrier.
1. Place the panel load evenly on the tray.
2. Raise the hook and push the panel against the plat-
form guardrails.
3. Lower the hook so it rests on top of the panel, secur-
ing it in place.
4. Do not exceed the platform total rated work load or the
panel carrier rated work load (refer to Figure 9.10).

Snorkel Guard
The optional Snorkel Guard (refer to Figure 9.11) is a
mechanically activated guarding system which oers an
additional level of protection to the operator at the upper
controls.
Figure 9.11 – 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 disabled.
When the Snorkel Guard is activated:
y the horn sounds.
y the blue light under the upper control panel ashes.
y only the platform lower function will operate.
The lower controls are not aected by the Snorkel Guard
activation.
