      Marissa DavisAug 23, 2025
      If the upper controls on your Snorkel Lifting Systems aren't working, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the control selector switch is in the lower control position and, if so, place it in the upper control position. Also, verify that the battery disconnect switch is turned on. Finally, ensure that the emergency stop button is pulled outward to the on position.

      Mike RossAug 25, 2025
      If all functions on your Snorkel Lifting Systems stop working, there could be several reasons. It might be due to motor or pump failure, in which case you should manually stow the machine. Another cause could be a low fluid level in the reservoir; check the fluid level and add the correct type of fluid if needed. Also, check if the circuit breaker on the lower control panel has tripped and press the reset button if necessary. Finally, an electrical system malfunction could be the reason, requiring you to manually stow the machine.

      If the platform drifts down on your Snorkel Lifting Systems, it could be due to the emergency lowering handle not being properly disengaged; ensure the handle returns to its normal operating position. Alternatively, there may be a hydraulic system malfunction, in which case you should manually stow the machine.

    What does it mean if the ammeter does not indicate a reading when charging the batteries on my Snorkel Lifting Systems?
    • C
      Claudia NelsonSep 18, 2025
      If the ammeter does not indicate a reading when charging the batteries on your Snorkel Lifting Systems, first make sure the power source is plugged in and turned on. If that's not the issue, check if the circuit breaker on the lower control panel has tripped and press the reset button. Finally, the charger power fuse may be blown, in that case you should manually stow the machine.

    What does the low voltage warning light mean on my Snorkel SL20?
    • J
      Jerry HigginsSep 8, 2025
      If the low voltage warning light is on for your Snorkel Lifting Systems, it indicates low battery voltage. Lower the platform, drive to a recharging area, and charge the batteries.

    Why does only slow drive speed work on my Snorkel Lifting Systems?
    • H
      Henry OsborneSep 4, 2025
      If only the slow drive speed works on your Snorkel Lifting Systems, it's likely because the platform is elevated above six feet. Lower the platform to drive the machine at mid and high speed.
