EMERGENCY LOWERING OPERATION
Never attempt to recover the machine/operator if there is any
possibility the machine is contacting any live wiring/cabling and is
therefore potentially ‘live’.
To lower the platform in the event of the operator being
incapacitated (unable to operate the flywheel handle in the
basket):
1. Locate emergency lowering tool on chassis (

), remove from
fixing.
2. Stand to side of machine, attach ‘hook’ end of emergency
lowering tool to flywheel handle knob in basket, releasing
handle knob, turn wheel
anti-clockwise
to bring platform down
(

).
3. Keep clear of structure as it descends.
5. Depending on the height of the elevated platform, it may be
necessary to extend the shaft of the tool.
Turn the shaft lock anti-clockwise to extend and retract the shaft,
and clockwise to lock to the desired position.
