Platform Extension
The machine is equipped with a mechanical extension deck,
which adds 3 ft (0.9 m) to the front of the platform, giving the
operator better access to work sites.
To extend the deck, lift up the extension handle so the latch
clears the notch on the extension plate. Push forward on the
extension handle until desired length is reached. Lower the
extension handle and ensure the latch is secured in a notch on
the extension plate.
To retract the deck, lift up the extension handle so the latch
clears the notch on the extension plate. Pull back on the exten-
sion handle to retract the deck to the stowed position. Lower the
extension handle and ensure the latch is secured in the first notch
on the extension plate.
Maximum capacity of the deck extension is 300 lbs (136 kg).
DO NOT LOWER WITHOUT COMPLETELY RETRACTING THE PLATFORM EXTENSION.
3.13 LEVELING JACKS (IF EQUIPPED)
The machine may be equipped with auto-leveling jacks with a
manual adjust feature. These leveling jacks are activated through
a switch on the platform control console.
Auto-Leveling
1. With the machine in the stowed position, turn the power on,
start machine.
2. Press the leveling jacks button on the front of the platform
control box.
3. While squeezing the trigger switch on the joystick, move the
joystick forward to lower the leveling jacks.
4. Once the leveling jacks make contact with the ground sur-
face there will be up to a 5 second delay before the actual
auto-leveling begins.
NOTE: Due to varying ground conditions, there may be several delays
between machine level corrections. Be sure ample time is
allowed for all leveling adjustments to be completed.
NOTE: The level adjustment of the machine may still be improved. Refer
to Manual Level Adjustment (Trim) for more information.
5. Continue to engage the leveling jacks until the tilt light
stops blinking and is no longer lit. The platform alarm will
sound three times to indicate this is complete.
