PowerLift by ReechCraft

28

When the platform reaches the bottom of its travel, the overload clutch creates a 
ratcheting or buzzing noise, indicating that the machine has reached the fully lowered 
position.

BE SURE TO MAINTAIN A FIRM GRIP ON THE DRILL AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION.

The machine is fitted with a drive shaft brake to prevent motion of the platform not 
initiated by the operator.

Before operating the machine, be sure the platform is fully lowered and the base is stable. 
Be sure the machine is level and on a surface capable of supporting the intended load.  

IN THE EVENT THAT THE CLIMBING UNIT FAILS TO ELEVATE AFTER THE OUTRIGGERS 
HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND STABILIZED, THE MACHINE IS NOT WORKING 
PROPERLY AND MUST NOT BE USED UNTIL IT IS INSPECTED AND REPAIRED BY A 
QUALIFIED PERSON.

Note: 

Do not attempt to enter or exit the platform unless it is fully lowered.
