Handbrake Operation
1) To operate the trailer parking brakes pull the handbrake lever upwards and backwards. The
spring loaded mechanism will engage and stay in the operated position until re-set.
2) To disengage the parking brakes, firmly grasp the handbrake lever and pull upwards. Depress
the ratchet release button in the end of the handbrake lever and return the lever to the horizontal
position. Care should be taken when operating the handbrake lever due to the forces involved in
engaging the ratchet mechanism.
4.7.3 CRANEAGE
1) Observe all of the limitations relating to straps and chains stated above under 'Transporting'.
(Section 4.7.1)
2) When utilising the designated lifting points never apply a 'snatch' load, i.e. lift slowly to take up
the load before raising. Similarly, do not drop machine when positioning after lifting.
3) If the machine is to be lifted by crane, use the designated lifting points and observe the
recommendations regarding spreader beams. Individual drawings are available for each machine
type, on request. (See list below.)
4.7.4 STORAGE
If being stored for any length of time without use, then the machine should be thoroughly inspected for
the following: -
1) Grease all bearings /slides, worm drives, etc.
2) Check batteries for electrolyte levels, state of charge, damage, dirt, etc. Never leave in a state of
discharge for any length of time. If no use of the platform is intended, an occasional "top-up"
charge of the batteries will serve to equalise their charge level.
3) Leave battery disconnect switch in OFF position to prevent discharge of batteries through
leakage.
4) If machine is to be left on an incline, chock wheels to prevent creep.
5) If machine is to be left out-of-doors or in a hostile environment, cover with suitable weatherproof
media to prevent deterioration.
