Raising and Lowering Platform
DO NOT RAISE PLATFORM EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM AND LEVEL SURFACE FREE OF
OBSTRUCTIONS AND HOLES.
There is a flow control valve which controls both the lift up and lift
down speeds. Anytime lift direction abruptly changes, there is a three
second delay between lift up and lift down.
1. Raising
a.
Position the applicable emergency stop switch(s) to the ON
position.
b.
With the engine running, place the power select switch to
desired position (platform or ground).
c.
If operating from the ground controls, position the lift
switch to up and hold until desired elevation is achieved. If
operating from the platform controls, set the lift/drive
switch to lift, depress the trigger switch, then move the
control handle backward and hold until desired elevation is
reached. Lift speed is determined by the distance the con
-
trol handle is moved from the off center position.
2. Lowering
ENSURE SCISSOR ARM AREA IS FREE OF PERSONNEL PRIOR TO LOWERING PLATFORM.
ENSURE PLATFORM EXTENSION(S) IS COMPLETELY RETRACTED PRIOR TO LOWERING
PLATFORM.
a.
If operating from the ground controls, position the lift
switch to down and hold until desired elevation is achieved
or until platform is fully lowered.
b.
If operating from the platform controls, press the lift switch
and then move the control handle forward and hold until
desired elevation is reached or until platform is fully low

ered.
Arm Guards (If Equipped)
If the machine is equipped with electronic arm guards, the platform
will stop lowering at a predetermined height and the machine’s bea
-
cons will flash at a different rate to warn ground personnel. Machine
lowering can continue after a three (3) second delay. Once the lowering
function is re-engaged an audible alarm will sound. After a one and a
half (1.5) second delay the platform will continue lowering.
Platform Extension
The machine is equipped with either single or dual deck extensions,
which add 4 ft (1.2 m) to the front or rear of the platform, giving the
operator better access to worksites.
To extend the deck, lift handle up on the right side of the platform
(when facing deck extension) to release the latch and use the handle to
push the extension deck out. When the deck reaches the end of its
travel, push handle down to latch, this will lock and hold the deck in
place. To retract the deck, reverse operation. Maximum weight capacity
for each deck extension is 500 lb (227 kg).
DO NOT LOWER WITHOUT COMPLETELY RETRACTING THE PLATFORM EXTENSION.
