Platform Extension
The machine is equipped with a mechanically extendable

ing the operator better access to work-sites.
To extend the deck, squeeze the release lever on the handle
on the left side of the platform to release the lock pin, then
use the handle and handrail to push the extendable deck
out.
To retract the deck, squeeze the release lever to release the
lock pin and use the handle and handrail to pull and retract
the deck.
Be sure the lock pin is locked in place after the deck is
retracted.
Maximum capacity of the deck extension is 300 lbs (136 kg).
