1. Position the platform in the raised position. Install the maintenance locks
(see “Lift Blocking Instructions” section). Remove the handrails. Position the
accordion with the weight rod pocket at the bottom and the mounting collar at
the top. The breathable material when provided must be positioned at the top
of the skirt with the mounting collar.
2.
Slip the skirt over the end of the platform. Turn the skirt as required to slide
over the other end of the platform and leg assembly. The skirt should be in
position under the platform while enveloping the base assembly.
3. See
Figure 19 and select the correct mounting configuration, (Number 1, 2 or3).
Figure #1: Mounting an Accordion Skirt Onto the Platform Side
Raise one side of the skirt along with a skirt -mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) to (1) side
of the platform. When possible, center the skirt-mounting collar and skirt-
mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) on the platform side. Align the pre-drilled holes in the
side of the platform with the skirt-mounting bar holes and punch holes in the
skirt-mounting collar. Push a nylon drive rivet through each hole in the skirt-
mounting bar. Hammer the aluminum pin into the rivet until flush with the rivet
head. Repeat mounting process for the remaining sides of the accordion skirt.
Figure #2: Mounting an Accordion Skirt Underneath the Platform
Raise one side of the skirt along with a skirt-mounting bar (1/8" x 1") to the
underside of the platform skirt support bar. When possible, center the skirt
mounting collar and the skirt-mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) on the platform support
bar. Align the pre-drilled holes in the skirt support bar (picture frame) with the
skirt -mounting bar holes and punch holes in the skirt-mounting collar. Push a
nylon drive rivet through each hole in the skirt-mounting bar. Hammer the
aluminum pin into the rivet until flush with the rivet head. Repeat mounting
process for the remaining sides of the accordion skirt.
Figure #3: Mounting an Accordion Skirt Onto the Bevel Toe Guard
Raise one side of the skirt along with a skirt-mounting bar (1/8” x 1”) to the side
of the bevel toe guard. When possible, center the skirt mounting collar and the

drilled holes in the bevel toe guard with the skirt-mounting bar holes and punch
holes in the skirt-mounting collar. Push a nylon drive rivet through each hole in
the skirt-mounting bar. Hammer the aluminum pin into the rivet until flush with
the rivet head. Repeat mounting process for the remaining sides of the
