1.

 Stow platform 

(FIG. 25-1)

. Refer 

to 

Operation Manual

 for detailed 

operating instructions. 

Ensure platform is latched securely in stowed 
position to release most tension from torsion 
bar(s) and keep platform from suddenly un-
folding. Injury could result from unbolting the 
torsion bar(s) under tension. When all tension 
is released from torsion bar(s), platform can 
unfold suddenly. Any person in the path of 
opening platform could be injured.
