Handset controller
The handset controller
includes the platform raise
and lower controls. Pressing
the ‘UP’ button raises the
platform. Pressing the
‘DOWN’ button lowers the
platform.
Part way through the descent of the platform, a 3-second
stop is triggered to alert the operator to look down and
around all 4 sides of the platform to ensure that there are
no people or obstacles preventing the continued descent
of the platform, thus averting any risk of crushing or
shearing.
Once the operator is sure that it is safe to continue the
descent, the ‘DOWN’ button can be depressed a second
time to continue the lowering of the platform.
BoSS X-Series machines are fitted with a platform
overload sensor. If the platform load is exceeded the
platform will not ascend and the red LED indicator on top
of the handset will illuminate.

Emergency lowering
In the unlikely event of a power failure of the BoSS
X-Series machine the platform can be lowered manually
by use of the following procedure:
STEP 1
Turn the finger screw on the emergency descent
valve anticlockwise until it will not turn any further, as
shown in Figure 1 below.
STEP 2
Pull the red handle under the step up to the
platform towards you until the platform has fully lowered,
as shown in Figure 2 below.
If for any reason, you need to stop the emergency
descent at any time, release the handle and the platform
will stop descending. To continue the descent pull the
red handle again.
WARNING
Always ensure that someone at ground level i.e. other
than the operator, is trained to perform this procedure.
In the unlikely event that the motor will not stop running,
even after both emergency stop buttons have been
depressed, open the drawer in the chassis and using
the red strap remove the 100A fuse and close the drawer
before undertaking the emergency lowering procedure
above. DO NOT reuse the machine until it has been
inspected, and if necessary repaired, by a competent
engineer.
