Lowering Interrupt (Arm Guard)
When the platform is lowered to about 1.5 m (5′)
lowering stops.This is the first decent limit the platform
will not lower for three seconds regardless of the
control position to allow personnel to clear the area
of the scissors before the platform completely lowers.
To continue lowering release the controls, wait for three
seconds then operate the controls to lower again. The
allarm will sound, the beacon will flash and there will
be a 1.5 second delay before lowering begins. Any re-
leasing of the controls below the first decent limit will
result in this 1.5 second delay being repeated the next
time the controls are operated.
Component Tray
Batteries and hydraulic components are enclosed in
the component tray on the left side of the chassis.
