Lowering the Platform

WARNING
Operating the machine with the platform
unlatched may cause you to lose control of
the machine, resulting in serious injury to you
and bystanders.
Never operate the machine without first
checking that the operator platform latching
mechanism is fully engaged and in good
working order.
1. Lower the platform carefully
Note:
The gas lift cylinder helps support the
platform.
