6.1.3 Activating a Mechanical Emergency Release

Primary Emergency Release
To activate the primary emergency release, insert a pen into the hole labeled
"emergency" on the control box of the lift and push down on the boom at the
same time.
All lift actuators are equipped with a mechanical emergency release. The
mechanical release enables the actuator to retract without power. The actuator
will retract only while under load and the mechanical emergency release is pulled.
The release is colored reddish orange with the word "Emergency" spelled out in
white.
Secondary Emergency Release
It is recommended that the primary emergency release be used. The
secondary emergency release is only a backup to the primary emergency
release.
In cases where the primary release is either not functioning or is unreachable, a
secondary emergency release may be used.
To activate the secondary release, pull up on the EMERGENCY grip and push down
on the boom at the same time.
