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 fly-wheel handle knob in basket, releasing
handle knob, turn wheel
anti-clockwise
to bring platform down
(

).
3. Keep clear of structure as it descends.
4. Lower to a platform height of approximately 500mm or less
to recover the operator safely.
