OPERATION
EMERGENCY LOWERING
Ask a person on the ground to open the “Emergency lowering valve” to lower the platform. The
“Emergency lowering valve” is located at the front of the chassis as shown on gure 8.
1. Open the “Emergency lowering valve” by pulling the knob out.
2. To close, release the knob.
NOTE: The platform will not elevate if the “Emergency lowering valve” is open.
PARKING BRAKE RELEASE
Perform the following procedure only when the machine will not operate under its own power and
it is necessary to move the machine or when winching unto a trailer for transport.
1. Remove the spring compression nut so the spring is loose and the brake bars are away from
the tyres.
2. Disconnect the drive motor hydraulic hose from port “D1” on the hydraulic manifold and im-
mediately cap the opening to prevent foreign material from entering. Open the cap from the oil
tank and place the end of the hose into the tank. This will allow the drive motors to turn freely
and oil from them will be fed back into the tank.
3. The machine will now roll when pushed or pulled.
After moving the machine and before normal operation:
1. Re-connect the drive motor hose to “D1” on the hy-
draulic manifold.
2. Ensure Drive/Steer wheels are clear of the ground.
3. Operate drive (fwd or rev), Assistance will be re-
quired to complete this process.
4. Adjust spring compression nut until spring is fully
compressed.
5. Restore machine to its original position.
After use each day;
1. Ensure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on a rm level surface, preferably under cover, secure against vandals, chil-
dren and unauthorised operation.
3. Turn the chassis key switch to OFF and remove the key to prevent unauthorised operation.
