Note:
When adjusting VL917
platform angle, platform cables
may require adjustment. Adjust
platform angle adjustment screws
and cables in small increments.
Adjust screws and cables evenly
from side-to-side and in unison.
Platform sections must be
aligned
(see Photo D).
Read warning posted below.
When adjusting the cables,
ensure there is a minimum thread
engagement of 10 threads on
each end of the turnbuckle.
Tighten
turnbuckle
jam nuts
securely
. See Photo C.
When adjusting the platform
angle to raise the outboard end
of the platform, extra slack in the
cables will cause the outboard
platform section to sag (hang
down). See Photo E. The
platform cables will need to be
tightened equally to align the
outboard and inboard platform
sections.
When adjusting the platform
angle to lower the outboard end
of the platform, the platform
cables will need to be loosened
equally to maintain proper
platform stop block positioning
(details on pages 28 and 29A).
Failure to do so will place
unintended stress on the cables.
Note:
Platform stop blocks and
floor level positioning must be
viewed during adjustment
procedures.
Stop blocks
on the
inboard section of platform
must
be making full contact with the
vertical arms
(details on pages
28 and 29A).
