for balance as shown in Figure 17.
2. Push the shifter handle to your RIGHT to release the lock pin from its mounting hole as shown in
Figure 18.
3. Turn the handle CLOCKWISE until you are able to secure the lock pin into the opposite mounting
hole to fully open the legs of the base as shown in Figure 19.
NOTE:
The lock pin MUST be inserted into its mounting hole in the socket assembly to lock
the legs in the full open position. The shifter handle will be in vertical position; parallel
with the mast assembly as shown in Figure 20.
Caution: Visually inspect the floor lift before using for any unusual wear and tear.
Should anything look unusual then contact your local representative prior to use.
