Non-Slip Deck
Entrance Gate
Automatic Brake when Elevated
Free Descent Protection
A holding valve is installed in the manifold block to prevent the platform from descending in case of a
ruptured hydraulic hose. The platform is hydraulically locked until hose has been replaced.
Decals
Danger, Caution, and Warning decals are displayed at various locations on this unit.
Key Switch Security
To prevent unauthorized use, a key switch is required for operation.
Tilt Alarm
If the chassis is tilted more than 1.5°, elevating function is prevented, and an alarm sounds. Lower the
platform and move to a hard, level surface before elevating.
Descent Alarm & Lowering Interrupt
An audible alarm sounds when the machine is lowering.
When lowering the platform, the platform will stop when the ends of the scissors are approximately 2 inches
apart for 3 seconds. The beacon light flashes to indicate the armguard delay (if both are equipped). Release.
Look around all sides of the scissors to check for persons at risk. Then continue lowering the platform. If
elevating platform less than 2 inches, the lift will not descend due to the armguard feature. Elevate the
platform higher before lowering, or use the manual override in case of emergency.
