• Make sure the pre-start inspection (Section 2) has been
completed, the machine is safe to use, and the base is
leveled.
• The mast driveshaft (hexagonal shape) must be inserted
into the drive port at the top of the mast assembly if
using a cordless drill or the manual descent tool.
• Whether operating with the powerpack or a heavy duty
rechargeable cordless drill, the battery must contain
enough power to operate the machine.
A low battery warning indicates the need to charge the
battery. The Battery should be fully charged prior to
first use.

must be in the RESET position (out).

the operator is in the platform.
