3.9 PLATFORM RAILS - FOLD-DOWN PROCEDURE -
(3248RS/10RS and 6RS-CE Only)
(See Figure 3-10. and Figure 3-11.)
DO NOT RAISE PLATFORM WITH RAILS FOLDED DOWN. THE RAILS MUST BE
IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND PROPERLY PINNED WHEN RAISING THE
PLATFORM.
NOTE: The rails must only be folded down when the machine is in the
stowed (platform fully lowered) position.
The platform control box should be removed from mount before
the side rails are folded down.
The platform rails fold down from the mid rail only, except for the rear
gate rail.
NOTE: If equipped with the optional self-closing gate, the gate must be
held open while lowering the rear and side rails.
The platform rails fold down in the following sequence;
(See Figure 3-10. and Figure 3-11.)
• First - pull pins, fold down rear gate rail (1).
NOTE:
Front deck extension top rail pins must be removed and deck
extension top side rails slid towards rear of machine before low-
ering side rails. Place pins back in the extension side top rails
before folding main platform side rails down.
• Second - pull pins, fold down both side rails (2 & 3).
• Last - pull pins, fold down front platform extension rail (4).
1. To fold down each of the rails, remove the bail pins for that
rail.
2. Taking a firm hold on the top rail, carefully lower until the
top rail is fully folded in the down position.
3. To raise the rails back to the upright position, unfold the rails
in the reverse sequence they were folded. Firmly pull the
rails back up into position and replace the bail pins into the
rails.
4. Retract the extension deck and set it’s lock pin.
AFTER THE RAILS HAVE BEEN FOLDED DOWN, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
EXITING AND ENTERING THE PLATFORM. ENTER AND EXIT PLATFORM ONLY
AT THE GATE AREA AND LADDER PROVIDED.
