Emergency Lowering Valves

valve on the ram can be used to lower the booms.
This process involves assistance from the ground.
• Operate the lower ram valve first because it is clos -
er to the ground
• Press on the lowering valve button to initiate lower-
ing and faciliate access to the top ram valve.

Each emergency ram valve will automatically close
when the button is released.
