Remove the pin from the gravity gate. Fasten the gravity gate to the mid rail on the right side of the
platform.
2.
Remove the wallboard loading gate pin and lower the gate.
3.
Extend the platform approximately 15 cm (6
″
).
4.
Remove the pins that connect the upper controls to the guardrails. Lay the upper controls on the floor
of the platform
5.
Remove the two pins that connect the front panel to the guardrails.
6.
Fasten the front panel to the mid rail on the right side of the platform using the bottom pin.

8.
Remove the three pins on the left side of the plat-form. Fold the guardrails down to rest on the right
side guardrails.
9.
Reverse this procedure to reposition the rails. Install the two pins at both sides of the front of the
platform, with the pin heads to the inside of the rails. The extension deck will not fully retract unless the pins
are installed properly.
Swing-Out Trays
Batteries and hydraulic components are enclosed in swing-out trays on each side of the chassis.
The tray on the right side of the chassis contains the lower controls, the hydraulic directional control valve,
the pump, and the hydraulic fluid filter. The tray on the left side contains the four batteries and the battery
charger.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-stable. Death or serious injury can result from a
tip-over accident. Do not open the trays when the plat-form is raised more than eight feet.
To open a tray, push down on the latch and swing the tray open.
