If the platform should fail to lower,

NEVER climb down the

scissor assembly.

A second operative should operate the Emergency Lowering

Valve Knob while keeping clear of the scissor assembly.

The Emergency Lowering Valve Knob is located at the rear of

the machine, behind the ladder.

1. Open the Emergency Lowering Valve by pulling and holding

the knob.

2. To close, release the knob. The platform will not elevate if

the Emergency Lowering Valve is open.

1. Select LIFT mode.
2. Check around the base of the platform to ensure that no one

is in contact with the machine. Engage the Interlock Switch
and pull back on the Control Handle to lower the platform.

3. The platform will stop when it reaches the pre-determined

safety cutout height. Inspect around the machine to ensure
no one is in contact with the machine. After a four-second
time delay, lower the platform as in step 2.
