1. Make certain all people, including yourself, are clear of  

  the platform and load tray.
2. Warn the operator to stay completely inside the  

  operator area.

  or any part of the platform gets caught. 

Note:

If you are unable to lower the truck to the 

ground call for authorized assistance to help. 

A manual lowering valve and instructions are 

located under the load deck.

SLACK CHAIN CONDITION

allowing the platform to drop suddenly.
