upright channel. Unwind I/L winch to provide enough
cable slack to attach link snap into loop welded on face

5. Place Intermediate Level on lift arms(with gate end
near ladder) as you would a main platform. Secure with
2-3/8" safety pins provided. Due to the weight of the
platform, you may wish to use lifting equipment, such
as a forklift, to initially place the platform on lift arms.
6. To raise, crank clockwise on the I/Level winch.

Intermediate Level using the I/Level winches is
accomplished in the same manner as the main platform.

In addition to the rope, the Intermediate level lift arms
are provided with a cable, sheathed in vinyl tubing, to
lower the platform the final few feet, if so desired. To
lower, raise platform slightly, grasping the cable and
angled brace squeeze cable to disengage pawl from
notches and carefully let platform down to desired
height. Then release cable to engage pawl in notch or
remove from unit.
NOTE: When you lower the Intermediate level down to
the bottom 2 stops (winch bolts) of the upright, you are
not able to move the main (2'x20') platform because
the winch handle will not clear the I/Level platform.
