WARNING
- Watch Out for Pinch Points
Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should
remain behind the push handle during the
lift operation.
Floor Lock
The screw-down floor lock is located on the base of the tower
(figure 3.1). Turning the floor lock clockwise until it locks in the
down position activates the floor lock. When the floor lock is
activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of the unit. Floor
conditions determine the effectiveness of the floor lock. The
operator should verify its holding action before depending on it to
hold.
