Maneuvering the platform
Maneuver the platform into position using
both hands on the platform rails. Take care
to avoid trapping hands or feet whilst
maneuvering the platform.
Never maneuver the machine whilst it is
elevated or with a person, tools or
materials in the platform.
Engaging the brakes
Always ensure that both front castor brakes
are engaged before elevating the work
platform to prevent any inadvertent
movement.
The brakes are on by pushing down on the
lever and off by pulling up the lever.
Deploying the stabilizers
The PAX 8 /PAX 10 machine is fitted with
four stabilizers, each of which must be fully
deployed before the work platform can be
raised. To deploy each stabilizer, follow the
steps below
–
1. Pull out the pin on the stabilizer beam
housing.
2. Turn the beam outwards until it locks in
position.
3. Push the pin on the stabilizer beam
housing.
4. Wind handle clockwise until hand tight.
The stabilizers provide additional stability
for the machine, and it is not necessary to
raise the castors off the ground.
Repeat the above steps for each stabilizer.
Stowing the stabilizers
WARNING
RETRACTING ANY OR ALL OF THE
STABILISERS WHEN THE WORK
PLATFORM IS ELEVATED MAY
RESULT IN MACHINE INSTABILITY.
STABILISERS MUST ONLY BE
RETRACTED WHEN THE WORK
PLATFORM HAS BEEN FULLY
LOWERED TO ITS TRANSPORT
POSITION.
To retract each stabilizer, follow the steps
below –
1. Turn handle anticlockwise to loosen the
stabilizer foot and retract the stabilizer
leg to the up position.
2. Pull out the pin on the stabilizer beam
housing.
3. Turn the beam backwards into the
housing until it locks in the transport
position.
4. Push the pin on the stabilizer beam
housing.
Repeat the above steps for each stabilizer.
Always ensure that each stabilizer leg is
fully raised and each beam is fully retracted
prior to maneuvering the PAX 8 / PAX 10
machine. Failure to do this may result in
damage to property and/or the machine.
