3.11 PLATFORM RAILS - FOLD-DOWN PROCEDURE
Refer to Figure 3.8 and Figure 3.9 for fold-down procedure illustrations.
ONLY FOLD DOWN THE RAILS WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN THE STOWED (PLATFORM
FULLY LOWERED) POSITION. DO NOT RAISE THE PLATFORM WITH THE RAILS FOLDED
DOWN. THE RAILS MUST BE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND PROPERLY PINNED
WHEN RAISING THE PLATFORM.
The platform end rails fold-down first. If platform is equipped with one
or more platforms extension(s), both the main platform side rails and
the extension platform side rails will be folded down together.
1.
Remove the platform control box and place it on the plat
-
form deck. On both sides of machine, open swing gate and
remove the pin on swing gate kick-plate to allow fold down
later.
2.
Pull platform end rail pins (two pins per end rail, see short
arrows in Figure 3-2.) and fold the platform end rails down
onto the platform deck.
3.
Pull platform extension side rail pins (one per rail set, see
short arrows in Figure 3-3.), then fold down extension side
rails.
4.
Pull main platform side rail pins (four per rail set, see short
arrows in Figure 3-3.), then fold down main platform side
rails.
5.
To raise the rails back to the upright position, unfold the rails
in the reverse sequence they were folded. Firmly pull the
rails back up into position and replace the rail pins into the
rails.
NOTE:
When returning platform side rails to upright position on plat
-
forms equipped with extensions, ensure the extension platform
rail guide is interlocked over the main platform rail once both
rails are completely upright.
AFTER THE RAILS HAVE BEEN FOLDED DOWN, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN EXITING
AND ENTERING THE PLATFORM. ENTER AND EXIT PLATFORM ONLY AT THE GATE AREA
AND LADDER PROVIDED.
IF DRIVING MACHINE WITH THE PLATFORM CONTROL STATION FROM GROUND, DO
NOT HANG THE CONTROL BOX ON ANY PART OF THE MACHINE WHILE DRIVING. HOLD
THE CONTROL BOX AND KEEP AT LEAST 3 FT (1 M) DISTANCE FROM MACHINE.
