Descending
CRUSHING HAZARD - BE AWARE OF DESCENDING PLATFORM WHEN
LOWERING THE PLATFORM. KEEP HANDS OR FEET OFF THE MAST
ASSEMBLY AND FROM BENEATH PLATFORM.
On the cordless drill, move the direction selector to the "unscrew"
(anti-clockwise) direction. Push the cordless drill down to disen-
gage the driveshaft interlock and squeeze the trigger to descend.
If using the optional powerpack, move the direction selector to the
DOWN position. Hold the handle so the enable trigger is pressed
and squeeze the speed trigger.
To stop at anytime, simply release the speed trigger.
To exit the platform, ensure the platform is all the way down until it
touches-down on the base. This will engage the drive mecha-
nism’s overdrive ratchet, making a ratcheting sound. This means
the platform has reached its lowest position and the trigger should
be released.
NOTE:
Before transporting, maneuvering or disassembling
machine, ensure the platform is all the way down. The
carriage lock is engaged automatically when the platform
is fully lowered and all load is removed.
