When using a handheld control with a spiral cable, the operator may initiate liftgate
functions only while standing in the positions shown in the illustration.
Operating position on the platform or vehicle floor
The operator must stand a minimum of 10″ from the front edge of the platform or rear
edge of the vehicle floor.
Operating position from the ground
When operating the platform from the ground, the operator must stand at least 40″ from
all edges of the platform and from the crushing edge between the platform and vehicle.
3.7 Using the bridge plate or plates (if present)
The bridge plate(s) are made of non-skid, knurled sheet metal. The bridge plate(s) serve
to bridge the gap between the platform and vehicle when the liftgate is in the
loading/unloading position. During loading and unloading of the platform, the bridge
plate(s) must be folded open (position: with the platform completely lowered). After use,
the bridge plate(s) must be folded closed to their original position.
