level, and is capable of supporting the wheel loads.
2. Check clearances above, below, and to the sides of platform.
3. Turn the Drive/Lift Switch to DRIVE.
4. Engage the Interlock Switch and move the Control Handle to FORWARD or REVERSE to travel in the
desired direction. The speed of the machine will vary depending on how far from center the Control Han-

sounds the platform must be lowered and the machine moved to a firm, level surface before
attempting to re-elevate the platform.
