EMERGENCY OPERATION
1. A speed handle wrench (hand
crank) and a 5/16” socket are included with the VPL to allow the platform
to be moved up and or down in the event of power loss to the VPL motor. The crank is stored inside the
cover of the power head.
2. To use the
crank, first turn the keyed power switch to the Off position.
3. Unplug the VPL from AC power to avoid accidental starting and potential injury.
Failure to unplug the VPL from AC power, as described, could result in serious injury or death.
Do not pull on power cables.
Route cords so no one can trip over or be entangled in them
Route power cords so they are not exposed to the risk of damage.
The power cable must be plugged into properly grounded GFCI outlets only.
4. Remove the power head cover from the top of the VPL tower by removing the bolts on both sides of the
cover (FIG. 17.1).
5. Disconnect the white ground wire from the battery terminal (FIG. 17.2).
6. Remove the crank from inside the power head cover.
7. Place the 5/16

(CCW) will lower the platform (FIG. 17.3).
It takes 28 turns to move the VPL platform
1”. For faster movement of the VPL platform, a
