3.11 PLATFORM RAILS - FOLD-DOWN PROCEDURE - (If
Equipped)
(See Figure 3-9.)
DO NOT RAISE PLATFORM WITH RAILS FOLDED DOWN. THE RAILS MUST BE
IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND PROPERLY PINNED WHEN RAISING THE
PLATFORM.
NOTE: The rails must only be folded down when the machine is in
the stowed (platform fully lowered) position.
The platform control box should be removed from mount
before the side rails are folded down.
The platform rails fold down from the mid rail only, except for
the rear gate rail.
The platform rails fold down in the following sequence;
(See Figure 3-9.)
• 1 - pull pin and fold REAR gate top rail in against RIGHT side
rail. Remove the platform control station and place on the
floor of the platform.
NOTE: Front deck extension top rail pins must be removed and
deck extension top side rails slid towards rear of machine
before lowering side rails. Place pins in the lower holes of
the extension side top rails before folding main platform
side rails down.
• 2 - fully open the swing gate and hold while folding down
the RIGHT side rail.
• 3 - fold down LEFT side rail.
• 4 - fold down FRONT platform extension rail.
• To raise the rails back to the upright position, unfold the
rails in the reverse sequence they were folded. Firmly pull
the rails back up into position and replace the bail pins into
the rails.
AFTER THE RAILS HAVE BEEN FOLDED DOWN, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
EXITING AND ENTERING THE PLATFORM. ENTER AND EXIT PLATFORM ONLY
AT THE GATE AREA AND LADDER PROVIDED.
