PINCHING AND CRUSHING HAZARD. At the
next step the platform will come down and
the scissor arms will close. Keep all body
parts out of the scissor arms and out from
under the platform.

6. If the platform will not lower, the person on the
ground should reach through the opening
immediately below the base-control panel and
screw open the emergency bleed-down valve (9)
until the platform begins to slowly descend.

NOTE: If you need to stop decent, screw the
emergency bleed-down valve (9) back in.

NOTE: As soon as the platform is completely
down, close the emergency bleed-down valve
(9).

NOTE: If the platform does not come down,
refer the problem to a qualified trained service
technician.
