1. Move the pump handle up and down to raise the lift.
Lowering the Lift
NOTE: Ensure the control valve is in the open position (control valve positioned away from pump handle).
NOTE: The weight of the person on the lifting arm causes the lift arm to lower when the control valve is open.

system that maintains a SLOW constant descent of the boom regardless of how far the control valve is opened.
