4.5 ENTERING AND
LEAVING THE WORK PLATFORM
4.3 ENGAGING THE BRAKES
The BoSS X-Series machine is fitted with two
braking systems:
Fixed castors – these brakes are applied
automatically as the platform rises
Swivel castors – these brakes are engaged
by the use of a foot pushing down on the
lever as shown in the picture below. To
release push the foot under the lever and
flick upwards. The swivel castors MUST be
locked whenever the machine is stationary
whether or not it is in use
4.4 BATTERY ISOLATION SWITCH
The BoSS X-Series machine is provided with
a key operated switch which is used to isolate
the battery and therefore the electrical system,
preventing unauthorised use.
To enable the electrical system, insert the key
and turn clockwise, as shown below making
sure the red emergency stop button is fully
released.
Ensure that when the machine is not in use, the
emergency stop button is depressed and the
key removed.
Always use 3 points of contact when entering
and exiting the platform (eg the use of 2 hands
and one foot as shown in the pictures below).
Always use the step up to the platform on the
base of the machine.
On entering the platform, ensure that the gate is
closed behind you, as shown below.
