4.6 PARKING AND STOWING
Park and stow the machine as follows:
1. Drive the machine to a reasonably well-protected and
well-ventilated area.
2. Ensure the platform is fully lowered.
3. Position the emergency stop switch to the off position.
4. If necessary, cover the instruction placards, caution and
warning decals so that they will be protected from hos-
tile environment.
5. Chock at least two wheels when parking the machine for
an extended period of time.
6. Turn the power selector switch to off and remove the key
to disable the machine from unauthorized use.
4.7 PLATFORM LOADING
The platform maximum rated load capacity is shown on a
placard located on the platform and is based upon the fol-
lowing criteria:
1. The machine is positioned on a smooth, firm and level
surface.
2. All braking devices are engaged.
3. The maximum platform capacity in its standard configu-
ration is 1,250 lb. (570 kg). See note.
4. The maximum capacity of the manual platform exten-
sion is 300lb. (140 kg).
NOTE: It is important to remember that the load should be evenly
distributed on the platform. The load should be placed
near the center of the platform when possible.
4.8 SAFETY PROP
THE SAFETY PROP MUST BE USED WHENEVER MAINTENANCE PER-
FORMED ON THE MACHINE REQUIRES THE SCISSOR ARMS TO BE
RAISED.
To engage the safety prop, with no load in the platform, raise
the platform, then rotate the prop clockwise until it hangs ver-
tically. Lower the platform until the safety prop rests on the
point provided on the frame. Maintenance can now begin.
To store the safety prop, raise the platform so that the prop
can be rotated counterclockwise until it rests on the stop pro-
vided on the scissor arms.
