Manual Lowering

Each Manual Lowering Valve (Figure 3-6) is equipped with a plunger, found at the base of the lift cylinders and on the back side of the jib boom (Figure 3-7). Use the plungers to lower the platform in case of a complete electrical power failure, a load shift, or other emergency situation. To lower the work platform, push the valve plungers. Continue pushing the plungers to completely lower the booms.
