5.2 EXTENDIBLE PLATFORM OPERATION
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OPTIONAL EXTENDIBLE PLATFORM IS
ONLY AVAILABLE FOR THE 20VP AND CAN ONLY BE MOUNTED
ON THAT MODEL.
The optional extendible platform is designed to increase
operator reach over the front of the machine, this allows
the operator access to work areas which may otherwise
be unreachable from the standard platform. The following
procedures describe proper use of the Extendible Plat-
form.
Mounting to Mast
The Extendible Platform uses the same quick-mount hard-
ware as the standard platform, see Section 4-4. “Quick-
Change Platform” in the Operators and Safety manual for
procedures to mount and remove the platform on the
mast.
Once the platform is mounted re-check that all mounting
pins on upper and lower platform mast mounts, two (2)
pins on upper mount and two (2) pins on lower mount are
installed and secure.
Entering/Exiting Platform

The Extendible Platform is equpped with a swing-up gull-
wing gate for entrance into the platform.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT CAPACITY FOR THE EXTENDIBLE PLAT-
FORM ASSEMBLY IS 350/300 LB. (160/136 KG) – U.S.A AND 350/
250 LB. (160/113 KG) – CANADA. A MAXIMUM OF 300 LB. (USA)/
