porting the wheel loads.
2. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of the platform.
3. Position the Lift/Drive switch to the DRIVE position.
4. Push the control lever to FORWARD or REVERSE for the desired direction of travel.

2. While holding the control lever so the interlock lever switch is depressed, push the control lever slowly to
UP to raise the platform. Pushing the control lever farther increases the lift speed.
3. When the work task is completed, position the Lift/Drive switch to LIFT, and lower the platform by pulling
back on the control lever until the platform is fully lowered.
