Activating a Mechanical Emergency Release
Primary Emergency Release
To activate the primary emergency release, insert a pen into the hole
labeled “emergency” on the control box of the lift and push down on the
boom at the same time.
All lift actuators are equipped with a mechanical Emergency release. The
mechanical release will enable the actuator to retract without power.
The actuator will only retract while under load and the mechanical
Emergency release is pulled. The release is colored reddish orange with
the word Emergency spelled out in white.
Secondary Emergency Release
In cases where the primary release is either not functioning or
unreachable, a secondary emergency release may be used.
To activate the secondary release, pull up on the EMERGENCY grip and
push down on the boom at the same time.
