as follows:
1. Set up machine for operation according to instructions in
Section 3.
2. EcoLift 70 - Check front caster wheels lock when engaged
and keep machine from rolling.

cally close completely while in platform.

caster wheel should retract and machine should be resting
on the front foot pads.
5. Check 'fly-wheel' operating handle works correctly. Hold
handle firmly and pull operating knob towards you, release,
knob should spring back to lock wheel.

to 0.92 m) several times. Check for smooth elevation and
lowering of platform.

wheel auto locking brake mechanism. When the platform is
