4.8 PARKING AND STOWING
Park and stow the machine as follows:
1. Drive the machine to a reasonably well-protected
and well-ventilated area.
2. Ensure the platform is fully lowered.
3. Position the emergency stop switch to the off posi-
tion.
4. If necessary, cover the instruction placards, caution
and warning decals so that they will be protected
from hostile environment.
5. Chock at least two wheels when parking the
machine for an extended period of time.
6. Turn the power selector switch to off and remove the
key to disable the machine from unauthorized use.
4.9 PLATFORM LOADING
The platform maximum rated load capacity is shown on a
placard located on the platform and is based upon the fol-
lowing criteria:
1. The machine is positioned on a smooth, firm and
level surface.
2. All braking devices are engaged.
3. The maximum platform capacity in its standard con-
figuration is 1,000 lb. (455 kg). See note.
4. The maximum capacity of the manual platform
extension is 250 lb. (115 kg).
It is important to remember that the load should be evenly
distributed on the platform. The load should be placed
near the center of the platform when possible.
4.10 SAFETY PROP
THE SAFETY PROP MUST BE USED WHENEVER MAINTENANCE
PERFORMED ON THE MACHINE REQUIRES THE SCISSOR ARMS
TO BE RAISED.
To engage the safety prop, raise the platform, then rotate
the prop clockwise until it hangs vertically. Lower the plat-
form until the safety prop rests on the point provided on
the frame. Maintenance can now begin.
To store the safety prop, raise the platform so that the
prop can be rotated counterclockwise until it rests on the
stop provided on the scissor arms.
