1. Read and follow all safety precautions contained in Section 1 and all responsi-
bilities outlined in the ANSI A92.3 reprint contained in Section 7 of this man-
ual.
2. Position the lift at the work area. Make sure the lift is on a firm and level surface
and that there are no potential hazards such as overhead obstructions or electri-
cally charged conductors. Do not operate the lift if such hazards exist.
3. Check the lift for damaged or worn parts and repair or replace as necessary.
4. Check to be sure that the platform is properly attached to the lift.
5. Raise the casters located under the platform by depressing the

pushbutton located on the lower control box. Raising the casters allows the
base to set firmly on the two foot pads.

travel is free from obstructions. Reposition the lift if necessary.

ing if the lift is at a slope greater than 1 degree. The green
WHEEL
UP
/BASE SET pushbutton will no longer illuminate until the lift is re-
leveled.
7. Enter the platform. Ensure that both side midrails are positioned properly.
