Try to move the rails back and forth to make sure the
platform extension deck fully locks in position.

Operating Controls

Warning
The potential for an accident increases from improp-
erly driving or steering the aerial platform. Death or
serious injury could result from such accidents. Make
sure the upper control panel is securely fastened in-
side the platform and facing the front of the machine.
Avoid driving the platform with the upper controls facing
the rear or side of the machine. In this position the ma-
chine is difficult to control because the drive and steer
control movements and their resulting machine move-
ments will not correspond.
Only operate the upper controls when the upper control
panel is securely fastened inside the platform and facing
the front of the machine.
