2. Stand on the main deck of the platform, facing the
front of the platform. Grasping the top rail of the ex-
tension deck, push forward to extend the deck.
A
Caution
The extension deck is free to move when the pin is
removed. Make certain the pin is in place when the
deck is extended in the working position and when
it is stowed.
3. Replace the pin when the platform is extended to
lock it in place.
4. Try to move the rails back and forth to make sure the
platform extension deck is locked in position.
Wallboard Loading Gate
The wallboard gate (refer to Figure 9.5) is hinged on the
right side of the platform and is pinned on the left.
Figure 9.5 – Rear of Platform
For easy loading of work materials in the platform, re-
move the pin and swing the gate upward and out of the
way. Lower and pin the gate after loading the platform.
Swing-Down Rails
The platform rails may be lowered approximately 52 cm
(20.75 ″) to fit the machine under low height obstructions.
A
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when the
swing-down rails are lowered. Death or serious in-
jury can result from such accidents. Do not elevate
the platform with the swing-down rails lowered. Use
extreme care when moving the aerial platform
while the swing-down rails are lowered.
Use the following procedure to lower the platform guard-
rails.
1. Remove the pin from the gravity gate. Fasten the
gravity gate to the mid rail on the right side of the
platform (refer to Figure 9.6).
Figure 9.6 – Gravity Gate
2. Remove the wallboard loading gate pin and lower the
gate.
3. Extend the platform approximately 15 cm (6 ″).
4. Remove the pins that connect the upper controls to
the guardrails (refer to Figure 9.7). Lay the upper
controls on the floor of the platform.
