OTHER FEATURES
Check that the stow-loc plunger is engaged in
the top-front of the platform guide block.
To manually stow the lift from ground level
In the unlikely event of a hydraulic system failure
and the manual backup pump is inoperative, the
lift may be stowed as follows by two or more
able-bodied people:
Raise or lower the platform to the deploy/stow
position, the platform frame must be parallel to
the side of the lift enclosure. If the exact position
cannot be obtained. Slightly low is preferred to
slightly high.
Using the rollstop manual control knob and one
hand on the rollstop, close the rollstop until it
latches.
Warning: The platform is heavy and should be
lifted using caution and proper lifting technique:
Always lift with legs and not the back when
attempting to lift heavy objects.
Use one person on each side of the lift to
prevent mechanical binding.
With fingers up and palms forward, push the
platform forcefully to start the lift moving inward.
As the lift begins to move inward, maintain a
constant pushing motion until the lift comes to
rest completely inside the lift enclosure.
Check that the stow-loc plunger is engaged in
the top-front of the platform guide block.
