of the platform must contact
the ground first to ensure the
spring-loaded outer barrier
unfolds fully. See Figure C.

ground level directly affects
the angle of the platform when
positioned at floor level.
Raise the platform to floor
level. Note the angle of the
platform.
The platform at floor level
should have a slight upward
angle as shown in Figure D.
Adjust platform angle as de
