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 step-down floor lock is located behind the base. 

Stepping down on the floor lock 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.
