The lowering procedure is as follows:
1. Locate the manual descent control T-handle.
Keep hands and arms out of the path of the scissor arms and platform while
lowering.
2. Grasp the T-handle and slowly pull out to lower the scissor arms/platform. When
the platform is lowered to desired level, allow the T-handle to return to its closed
position.
