TRAVEL WITH PLATFORM
LOWERED
1. Check that route is clear of people, obstructions,
holes and drop-offs, is level and capable of support-
ing wheel loads.
2. Verify Chassis Key Switch is turned to DECK and
Chassis Emergency Stop Switch is ON, pull button
out.
3. After mounting platform lower top rail across en-
trance and latch the chain. Check that guardrails are
properly assembled and in position with the slide
out deck extension secured with the pin. Attach
Controller to guardrail.
4. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of
platform.
5. Pull Controller Emergency Stop Button out to ON
position. When button is pushed down Emergency
Stop Switch will automatically go to OFF position.
6. Position Function Switch to DRIVE. For 20W, 26,
and 31 models: position Function Switch to HI for
traveling on level ground, LOW when extra torque
is required for climbing ramps.
7. Grasp the Control Lever so the Interlock Lever is
depressed (releasing the Interlock Lever cuts power
to Controller), slowly push or pull the Control Lever
to FORWARD or REVERSE position to travel in the
desired direction. The farther you push or pull the
Control Lever from center the faster the machine
will travel.
STEERING
1. Position Drive/Lift Switch to DRIVE.
2. While holding the Control Lever so that the Inter-
lock Lever is depressed, push the Steering Switch to
RIGHT or LEFT to turn wheels in the desired direc-
tion. Observe the tires while maneuvering the work
platform to ensure proper direction.
NOTE: Steering is not self-centering. Wheels must be
returned to straight ahead position by operating
Steering Switch.
ELEVATING PLATFORM
LOOK up and around for obstructions
before performing the lift function.
DO NOT elevate the platform unless the
work platform is on a firm and level surface.
DO NOT operate the work platform

lock Lever is depressed, push Control Lever forward
to UP, the farther you push the Control Lever the
faster the platform will elevate.

the machine will not lift or drive. If an Alarm
sounds the platform must be lowered and the
machine moved to a level location before at-
tempting to re-elevate the platform.
TRAVEL WITH PLATFORM

holes and drop-offs, is level and capable of support-
ing the wheel loads.
2. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of
platform.
