4.5 PLATFORM EXTENSION
The machine is equipped with a mechanically extendible
deck, which adds 1.22 m (4 ft) to the front of the platform.
The deck will move in 15.2 cm (6 in) increments, giving
the operator better access to worksites. To extend the
deck, lift handle up on the left and right side of the plat-
form to release the latch and use the handle to push the
extendible deck out. When the deck reaches the end of its
travel, push handle down to latch, this will lock and hold
the deck in place. To retract the deck, lift handle up on the
left and right side of the platform to release the latch and
use the handle to retract deck. Be sure the latch locks the
deck in place after it is retracted. Maximum capacity of the
deck extension is 227 kg (500 lb).
