4.8 eMergency loWerIng

4.6 handset control unIt

The handset control unit houses the platform 
raise and lower controls.

Pressing the ‘UP’ button raises the platform.
Pressing the ‘DOWN’ button lowers the platform

To avoid crushing or shearing hazards, an 
intermediate stop feature on lowering is fitted to 
activate when the platform reaches a base of  
work platform height from ground level of:

  BoSS X3X – 1.87m
  BoSS X3 – 1.85m
  BoSS X2 – 1.4m

This is a safety 
mechanism that 
reminds the operator 
to look around the 
machine to determine 
whether any persons 
are adjacent to the machine. After a time delay 
and when the operator is sure it is safe to do so, 
the ‘DOWN’ button can be depressed a second 
time to continue the descent.  

4.7 eMergency stoP

An emergency stop button is provided on the 
handset control unit. Once depressed this 
isolates power to the raise and lower functions.

To restore functionality, twist the emergency 
stop button key clockwise to release the button 
as shown below.

There is also an 
emergency stop button 
on the base unit. Push 
in to activate and twist 
clockwise to release.

In the unlikely event of  a power failure of  the 
BoSS X-Series machine the platform can be 
lowered manually by use of  the following 
procedure.

 

1.Turn the finger screw on the pressure loss 

valve anticlockwise until it will not turn any 
further as shown in figure 1.

2.Then, turn the emergency valve on the base 

unit anticlockwise until the platform begins 
to desend, as shown in  figure 2. If  you need 
to stop the desent simply turn this valve 
clockwise again.

WarnIng

Always ensure someone other than the operator 

is trained to perform this rescue.

4.9 Battery chargIng

A battery charge level indicator is fitted to 
the BoSS X-Series machine as shown in the 
photographs below. When the battery is fully 
charged the segment at the far right hand side 
of  the display will be illuminated red, as shown 
in figure 1 below. When the second segment 
from the left is illuminated, as shown in figure 
2 below, it is time to put the BoSS X-Series 
machine on charge
