How to Adjust the
Platform Rotator
The platform rotator is designed to allow the
platform to slip in the event of striking an object
to help prevent damage to the platform. If the
platform rotator is too tight or seized, damage to
the platform may occur. If the platform rotator is
too loose, the platform may rotate side to side
unexpectedly, resulting in a unsafe operating
condition.
1 Remove the platform. See 1-1,
