Ground - Manual Descent Tool Operation
(See Figure 4-2.)
If the platform operator is pinned, trapped or unable to operate
or control the machine, other personnel should operate the
machine from the ground using the telescoping manual
descent tool mounted in the base frame.
1. Locate the manual descent tool (1) on the right side of
the base frame. Turn the manual descent tool handle
counter-clockwise and slide the tool out of the base
frame.
2. Extend the tool (2) as needed to reach the mast auxil-
iary driveshaft port on the right rear underside of the
mast.
3. Once the tool is inserted into the aux drive port (3) on
the mast, turn the descent tool (4) counter-clockwise
until the platform is fully lowered.
The handle on the descent tool is equipped with a hex
slot to allow the use of the platform manual descent
crank, if available.
NOTE: FT140 machine, if both masts are fully extended, you will
only be able to reach the lower (FT140) mast first, once
that is lowered, then lower the upper (FT70) mast.
