13. Initial Platform Lowering
1. Fill the pump reservoir with an approved fluid up to
within 1/2" (12 mm) from the top of the reservoir. Refer
to the approval table below.
2. Turn the master disconnect switch and circuit breaker to
the “ON” position.
3. Push the control station toggle switch to the “UP” position
to activate the pump. This will allow the pump to fill the
hoses and cylinders with hydraulic fluid.
4. Release the switch, then refill pump reservoir to within
1/2" (12 mm) from the top of the reservoir.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT overfill the reservoir.
5. Remove all cylinder lock straps from the cylinder pins.
There will be one (1) cylinder lock strap per cylinder
(Figure 44)
.
6. Support the platform from underneath, and remove the
temporary brackets that have been holding the platform
in position that were installed in Section 6
(Figure 14)
.
7. Remove both roadside and curbside leveler lock straps
from the front face of the main tube by grinding off the
welds
(Figure 45)
.
8. Remove the supports from underneath.
9. Push the control station toggle to the “DOWN” position
and lower the platform to the ground.
10. Check the fluid level in the pump reservoir with the
platform in the lowered position. If necessary, fill the
pump reservoir to within 1/2" (12 mm) from the top of
the reservoir.
11. Raise and lower the platform several times to check the
operation of the unit.
