the outrigger interlock LED’s are illuminated. (LED’s
are located on the inside of frame on end straddle
supports, just above each castor wheel).
6. If all four (4) interlock LED’s are illuminated on the
straddle extension, power is then supplied to the
AM/EL platform controls.
7. Recheck each of the following to insure the lift is
properly set-up and ready to use:
a. All "pup" outrigger beam adapters are locked
and secured.
b. Side rail adjust bracket locking pins are installed
and tension is released from winch cables.
c. Adjust bracket end cap adjust screws have been
tightened to remove any end to end play in
straddle unit.
d. Straddle and AM/EL are leveled according to
bubble level indicator on AM/EL unit.
e. Review the instructions for safe operation of the
lift and follow all safety and maintenance proce-
dures.
NOTE: The AM-SE Ladder (option) is available to ease
entry into the AM/EL platform. The ladder is attached
to either straddle side lifting rail on the straddle

Lowering AM/EL Machine on Straddle Unit
1. If necessary remove the outriggers and move the
straddle and AM/EL unit to an area which will allow
access to the straddle end supports.
2. Loosen adjust screws on adjust bracket end caps
(See Figure 5-4.).
3. Crank the winch handle on each winch (located on
straddle end supports) clockwise, just enough to
start raising the side lifting rails, lifting the weight off
of the quick-release pins installed through the side
rail adjust bracket and the straddle end support ver-
tical rails.
4. Remove ONLY the two (2) SIDE RAIL QUICK-
RELEASE PINS
installed through each side lifting
rail adjust bracket, and the straddle end support ver-
tical rails at all four (4) corners of the straddle exten-
sion. (See Figure 5-4.)
* DO NOT REMOVE THE END CAP PIN FROM THE ADJUST
BRACKET UNTIL THE AM/EL MACHINE IS FULLY LOWERED TO
THE GROUND ON ITS CASTOR WHEELS, AND STRADDLE END
SUPPORTS ARE BEING DISASSEMBLED FROM SIDE RAILS. (SEE
FIGURE 5-5.)
5. Carefully lower the side lifting rails (and AM/EL
machine) evenly, by turning the winch handle at
each straddle end support counter-clockwise until
the AM/EL machine is fully lowered to the ground on
it’s caster wheels.
Straddle and AM/EL Machine Disassembly
Once the AM/EL machine is lowered on its castor wheels
and outriggers are removed, disassembly of the unit is
accomplished by reversing the procedures in previous
sub-section, "Mounting - Straddle Extension to AM/EL
Machine" from steps 1 through 13.
NOTE: Lock the castor wheels on the end straddle supports
so they are parallel with the outrigger sockets. This
will help to keep the end straddle support more sta-
ble during disassembly.
