If the platform is fully lowered and is overloaded, when it
is elevated just past 1.8 m (6
′ ), a control module will stop
the lift and drive functions and the alarm will sound and
the warning light will flash. The platform can still be low-
ered to remove the excess load.
If the platform is elevated just past 1.8 m (6
′
) and material
is added to the platform overloading it, a control module
will stop the lift, drive and lower functions and the alarm
will sound and the warning light will flash. In this case,
remove the load in excess of rated capacity and cycle
the emergency stop button at the upper controls to re-
turn to normal operation.
Extending
The platform can be extended and securely locked into
position. Use the following procedure to extend or retract
the platform to full or half extension.
A
Caution
The extension deck is free to move when the pins
are disengaged. Personal injury may result from
extending the platform deck while the aerial plat-
form is on a slope. Do not attempt to extend or re-
tract the platform unless the aerial platform is on a
level surface.
1. Push down on the handle on each side of the front of
the platform (refer to Figure 9.4).
Figure 9.4 – Platform
2. Stand on the main deck of the platform, facing the
front of the platform, and push forward while holding
the handles down to extend the deck.
3. Release the handles and make sure the pins are
engaged in the holes when the platform is extended
to lock it in place.
A
Caution
The extension deck is free to move when the pins
are disengaged. Make certain the pin is engaged
when the deck is extended in the working position
and when it is stowed.
4. Try to move the rails back and forth to make sure the
platform extension deck is locked in position. The
handle should angle upward when the extension deck
is locked in position.
Swing-Down Rails
The platform rails may be lowered approximately 63.5
cm (25
″ ) to fit the machine under low height obstructions
or for transporting.
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 platform gate. Fasten the
gate to the mid rail on the right side of the platform
(refer to Figure 9.5).
Figure 9.5 – Platform Gate
2. Remove the pin that connects the upper controls to
the guardrails (refer to Figure 9.6). Lay the upper con-
trols on the floor of the platform.
