Operation
Before operating work platform ensure that preoperation and safety inspection has been
completed and any discrepancies have been
corrected.
Travel With Platform Lowered
1. Check that route is clear of people, obstructions, holes and drop-offs, is level and is
capable of supporting wheel loads.
2. Verify Chassis Key Switch is turned to DECK
and Chassis Emergency Stop Switch is ON,
pull button out.
3. After mounting platform, lower top rail across entrance and secure entryway closure. Check that
guardrails are properly assembled, in position, and
that the Slide Out Deck Extension is secured with
pin. Attach Controller to left or right guardrail.
4. Check clearances above, below and to the
sides of platform.
5. Pull Controller Emergency Stop Button out to
ON position. In case of emergency, push down
to stop all functions.
