Disassembly
Using a suitable lifting device, lower the work platform
into a horizontal position (Figure 2-5). If possible, place
the machine onto a sturdy work table using a forklift.
Never attempt to lower lift into a horizontal
position without the use of a suitable lifting
device; bodily injury or damage to the
machine may result.
NOTE: Mark all components as they are removed so
they can be reinstalled in the correct sequence and
location.
