4.5 PLATFORM EXTENSION
Manual Platform Extension
The machine is equipped with a mechanically extendible
deck, which adds 0.9 m (3 ft.) to the front of the platform,
giving the operator better access to worksites. To extend
the deck, pull pins, attached to lanyards, located at both
sides at the front of the platform extension, extend plat-
form extension and replace pins in holes. Do not drive
machine unless platform extension is properly pinned. To
retract the deck, remove pins pull platform extension back
in and install pins back into holes. Do not drive machine
unless platform extension is properly pinned. Maximum
capacity of the deck extension is 120 kg (250 lb) - 1 per-
son.
4.6 STEERING
To steer the machine, the thumb operated steer control
switch on the joystick is positioned to the right for traveling
right, or to the left for traveling left. When released, the
switch will return to the center-off position and the wheels
will remain in the previously selected position. To return
the wheels to the straightened position, the switch must
be activated in the opposite direction until the wheels are
centered.
