PARKING BRAKE RELEASE
(Figure 3-1)
Perform the following only when the machine will not
operate under its own power and it is necessary to move
the machine or when towing the machine up a grade or
winching onto a trailer to transport.
Note: X31N models have two identical brake
adjustment nuts located on both sides of the
ladder.
The Brake Adjustment/Release Nut(s) is (are) located at
the rear of the machine to the right (and left) of the
ladder.
1. To release the brakes turn the nut(s) counterclockwise until
the brakes disengage from the tires.
2. The machine will now roll when pushed or pulled.
3. To reset the brakes, turn the nut(s) clockwise until
the brakes have fully engaged the tires. Test the
brakes on a 23 % slope before returning the ma-
chine to service.
Never operate work platform with the
Parking Brakes released. Serious injury or
damage could result.
Never tow faster than 1 ft./sec. (.3m/sec.).
FOLD DOWN GUARDRAILS
This procedure applies only to the X31N model for the
purpose of passing through a standard double doorway.
Guardrails must be returned to proper position before
operating the work platform.
Fold Down Procedure
1. Unhook the controller from the side guardrail and
place on the platform.
2. Unpin the front and rear upper rails from the side
rails and rotate inwards.
3. Starting with the rollout deck rails and then the outer rails,
lift up on each guardrail and fold inward.
Erection Procedure
1. Starting with the outer rails and then the rollout
deck rails, raise each guardrail and drop it down
securing it in the vertical position.
2. Rotate the front and rear upper rails outward and
secure them to the opposite side rails using the
retaining pins.
3. Hang the controller on the side guardrail.
