OPERATION
HIGHLANDER 400-X: SECTION 3
RECOMMENDATIONS
Plaorm lis should not be used for evacuaon
during emergencies.
CAUTION
!
Do not use the lift alone if you are not sure that you
can maintain pressure on the control buttons for the
duration of travel.
If using the lift alone, it is best practice to have a
cell phone with you in case of a malfunction that
prevents the platform movement.
If the lift malfunctions while occupied:
• Occupant should follow the directions in the
platform cab and never try to evacuate the
elevator on their own.
• Contact dealer and/or 911 (dealers phone
number is written on the label next to the cab
controls).
• Push in the Red Emergency Stop button on the
cab control.
Once help arrives, they should follow the Emergency
Lowering Procedure to evacuate the occupant.
EMERGENCY LOWERING
PROCEDURE
Never exit an elevated plaorm unless it is fully
parked at a landing. Do not aempt to manually
lower the device while in the plaorm.
WARNING
!
In the event that the lift becomes disabled with
passengers on the platform that is not at a landing,
it may be necessary/desirable to manually lower
them prior to a technician arriving.
In that case, a manual lowering mechanism is
located beneath the top cap of the lift. A person
other than the lift passenger(s) will be required to
make their way to the top of the tower to perform
this procedure.
1. Use disconnect to remove all power from lift.
2. Loosen seven (7) screws around the
perimeter of the top cap with a Phillips head
screwdriver.
3. Flip the brake release switch up to make
lowering easier.
4. Remove the two wingnuts holding down the
manual lowering tool. See Figure 3-4.

rotated by hand — clockwise, which will turn
the screw and lower the platform.
See Figure 3-5.
