Swing-Down Rails
The platform rails may be lowered approximately 25″
(63.5 cm) to fit the machine under low height obstruc-
tions or for transporting.
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when the
swing-down rails are lowered. Death or serious in-
jury can result from such accidents. Do not elevate
the platform with the swing-down rails lowered. Use
extreme care when moving the aerial platform
while the swing-down rails are lowered.
Use the following procedure to lower the platform guard-
rails.
1. Remove the pin from the platform gate. Fasten the
gate to the mid rail on the right side of the platform
(refer to Figure 9.4).
Figure 9.4 – Platform Gate
2. Remove the pin that connects the upper controls to
the guardrails (refer to Figure 9.5). Lay the upper
controls on the floor of the platform.
Figure 9.5 – Upper Controls
3. Remove the pin that connects the front panel to the
guardrails on the left side of the platform (refer to
Figure 9.6). Fasten the front panel to the mid rail on
the right side of the platform.

4. Remove the three pins on the right side of the plat-
form and fold the guardrails down to rest on the floor
of the platform.
Note
It may be necessary to extend the platform approximately
6″ (15 cm) to remove the pins at the front of the platform.
If so, make certain to relock the extension deck in the
stowed position with the handles angled upward.
5. Remove the three pins on the left side of the platform
and fold the guardrails down to rest on the right side
guardrails.
6. Reverse this procedure to reposition the rails.
Swing-Out Trays
Batteries and hydraulic components are enclosed in
swing-out trays (refer to Figure 9.7) on each side of the
chassis.
