Familiarize yourself with the com- ponents necessary to manually operate the lift. The T-handle release cable releases and en- gages the lift platform to allow the platform to be manually extended and retracted. The manual back- up pump (hand pump) is used to manually lower and raise the ex- tended platform.

Cable Activated Platform Manual Release System: A cable-activated manual release system releases and engages the platform carriage assembly drive chain to allow the platform carriage assembly to be manually moved out (extended) or moved in (retracted) as needed. A T-handle is provided on the release cable for activation of the manual release system (details follow).

After manually moving the platform in or out, it is extremely important that the cable-activated manual release is positively re-engaged to secure (lock) the platform carriage assembly before loading a passen- ger on the platform or before driving the vehicle.

After manually releasing platform, push manual release T-handle in fully and ensure platform is locked before driving lift vehicle.

Uncontrolled and unintention- al platform deployment (inad- vertent platform ejection) may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

WARNING

Push T-handle in fully and manually move platform in and out to engage platform lock before driving vehicle. Failure to lock platform may result in unintended platform deployment. Unintended platform deployment may result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

UP (TO RAISE PLATFORM):

Using hand pump handle:

1.Close hand pump valve (turn clockwise).

2.Insert handle in pump and stroke.

Note: Close valve before operating electric pump.

IN (TO STOW PLATFORM):

1.Raise or lower platform to stow level (follow UP or DOWN procedures).

2.Pull T-Handle.

3.Turn T-Handle to lock platform in released position.

4.Push platform in.

5.Turn T-Handle.

6.Push T-Handle in.

7.Grasp outer barrier and attempt to move platform in and out until the platform locks (feel release mechanism engage).
