WARNING
Platform Manual Release Sys- tem: A cable-activated manual release system releases and en- gages the platform carriage assem- bly 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).

platform locks (chain release assembly engages), securing the platform carriage assembly within the housing. You will feel the re- lease mechanism engage.
Failure to manually lock the plat- form carriage assembly (re-engage the carriage assembly drive chain) after manual deployment, will al- low the platform to roll in or out of housing unhindered during vehicle movement.

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