position the safety prop. Refer to Figure 8.4.
3. Swing the safety prop downward from the storage
position to the support position.
4. Remove hands and arms from the scissors structure
area.
5. Lower the platform until the scissors are supported

Cables and Wiring Harness
Inspect all cables and wiring for wear and/or physical dam-
age such as loose connections, broken wires, and frayed
insulation. Check the wiring in areas where a change in
routing direction may cause them to become pinched (re-
fer to Figure 8.5). Make sure the cables and wires are
properly routed to avoid sharp edges, pinching, and scuff-
ing.
