4.3 PLATFORM MANUAL DESCENT
The platform manual descent control is used in the event of
total power failure to lower the platform using gravity. The man-
ual descent control T-handle is located on the left rear of the
machine, just below the platform ladder. Look for the instruc-
tion decal located beside the release handle.
The lowering procedure is as follows:
1. Locate the manual descent control T-handle .
(See Figure 4-1.)
KEEP HANDS AND ARMS OUT OF THE PATH OF THE SCISSOR ARMS AND PLAT-
FORM WHILE LOWERING.
2. Grasp the T-handle and slowly pull out to lower the
scissor arms/platform, when the platform is lowered
to desired level, allow the T-handle to return to it’s
closed position.
