◆
Lift-Up Entry Gate
The platform entrance has a lift-up entry gate
(refer to Figure 9.4) to load large objects in the
platform.
Figure 9.4—Lift-Up Gate
To raise the gate, pull the detent pins outward
and then pull up on the top rail. When the gate is
fully raised the detent pins will engage to hold the
gate up.
◆
Swing-Down Rails
The platform rails may be lowered 10 1
2
″ to fit the
machine under low height obstructions.
The potential for an accident increases when
the swing-down rails are lowered. Death or
serious injury can result from such accidents.
Do not elevate the platform with the
swing-down rails lowered.
The rails are free to move downward after
pulling backward on them. Improper lifting
can cause personal injury. Be prepared to
hold the weight of the rails (approximately 20
pounds) before beginning to lower them to
the platform.
The platform extension and the main platform rails
must be lowered separately. Use the following
procedure to lower the platform extension rails.
1. Enter the platform and close the entry chain
or swinging gate.
2. Remove both snapper pins at the front of the
platform (refer to Figure 9.5).
Figure 9.5—Platform Extension Release Pins
The rails are free to move when the foot is
completely off its rest. Uncontrolled movement
of the rails can cause personal injury. Do not
move the foot more than a quarter inch (6 mm)
to offset the detent pin and the hole.
3. Pull both detent pins up. With both pins up,
pull back on the guardrail about ¼" (6 mm) or
just enough to offset the pins from the holes.
4. Stand facing the front of the platform, grasp
the handles and pull backward.
5. Lower the guardrails to the platform floor.
Make sure the cables for the upper controls
and the electrical outlet are not pinched.
To lower the main platform rails, use the following
procedure.
1. Remove both snapper pins at the rear of the
platform (refer to Figure 9.6).
