3-3  EMERGENCY  LOWERING  PROCEDURES 
In an emergency, a person at floor level can lower the platform by holding the 
UPPER 
CONTROL/OFF/LOWER CONTROL
 key switch in the 
LOWER CONTROL
 position and turning 
the 
UP/DOWN
 selector switch to the 
DOWN
 position. (If the upper control box emergency 
stop pushbutton is depressed, the platform will not lower.) 
An emergency lowering valve is shown in Figure 3-4. In case of a total loss of battery 
power, a person at floor level can safely lower the platform by opening the emergency 
lowering valve. 
WARNING
 
Do not climb out of the lift cage while the lift platform is elevated. The lift mast 
cannot be climbed safely. An elevated lift platform has a high center of gravity 
and can be tipped easily. Standing on or leaning out from the outside of a cage rail 
may cause the lift vehicle to tip over. Tipping the lift vehicle over can cause severe 
injury or death and equipment damage. 
If you lose power while elevated in the cage, instruct someone on ground level to open 
the emergency lowering valve. Do not leave the cage to climb down the lift mast or stor-
age shelves. 
To lower the platform, pull and hold the red valve knob until the platform starts to de-
scend. When the platform is fully lowered, release the knob to close the valve.
