Stop blocks must
make full contact.
1. The outboard end (toe)
of the platform must contact
the ground first to ensure the
spring-loaded outer barrier
unfolds fully. See Figure A.
2. The inboard end (heel) of
the platform must lower fully
(vertical arms must contact
ground when fully lowered).
See Figure A.
The angle of the platform at
ground level directly affects
the angle of the platform when
positioned at floor level.
Raise the platform to floor
level. Note the angle of the
platform.
The platform at floor level
should have a slight upward
angle as shown in Figure B.
Adjust platform angle as de
