Entering and leaving
the work platform
Always use three points of contact when entering or exiting the platform,
using the handholds provided. For example, use two hands and one foot,
as shown below. Use the step provided on the base of the machine.
On entering the platform, ensure that the gate is closed behind you.
Control pendant
The control pendant houses the platform raise and lower controls.
Pressing the ‘UP’ button raises the platform.
Pressing the ‘DOWN’ button lowers the platform.
To avoid crushing and shearing hazards, a delay feature is fitted which
actuates when the platform is lowered to the transport position. The platform
will momentarily stop to enable the operator to look around the machine
to determine whether any persons are adjacent to the scissor mechanism.
After a time delay, the lowering control will be enabled once
more to permit the operator to continue to lower to the transport position.
Take care to avoid repeated jerky movements which could cause
unnecessary impact loads on the structure.
