To correct a loose rope:
1. If carriage is not within 1m (3 ft) of the base of the mast
contact JLG. Otherwise assemble the mast onto the
base lifting via mast tube above carriage.
2. Check the rope is correctly on drum (Figure 6-3.).
3. Check rope is in correct location in carriage
(Figure 6-4.).
4. Connect the manual descent handle directly to the car-
riage drive shaft (Figure 6-5.). Press down on crank and
simultaneously rotate clockwise. You will hear a ratchet-
ing noise and the drum will wind up the slack rope.
5. Re-check proper rope alignment (Figure 6-3. and Figure
6-4.). Both ropes must be tight. If ropes are not tight,
contact an Authorized JLG Service Center.
6. Install platform and cordless drill (or optional power-
pack). Use applicable safety precautions to enter the
platform safely. Raise the platform 50mm (2 inch) to
reset the emergency brake and then lower the platform
to bottom of travel.
7. Perform all pre-operation checks before further use.
Also, remove platform and re-check rope alignment per
Figure 6-3. and Figure 6-4. after first elevation - which
should be no higher than 1m (3 ft). Ensure both ropes
are tight and remain so at all times.
