down motion. Motion starts when
you push on the switch and stops
when you release the switch, or
the Lift has achieved max travel up
or down. Note: When using the
High Lift: do not move your plane
in the elevated position while

10. High/Low Setting
Use "HIGH" for maximum speed,
typically used for long-distance
movements. Use the "LOW" set-
ting when maneuvering in tight

trol and safety. No damage will
occur if the HIGH/LOW setting is
changed while in motion.
