4. DEPLOYING THE PLATFORM STABILISERS
The platform is equipped with four platform stabilisers (braces) which are stowed on
the underside of the platform, see Figure 4.1.
WARNING. The platform stabilisers MUST be deployed when the platform
working height is at or greater than 1.50 metres.
LOCKING BALL
MECHANISM
Press the release button at the far end of the stabiliser and pull back on the yellow
lever to release it from the stowage bracket. The stabilisers are hinged centrally on the
platform and when deployed anchor to brackets on the inner face of RUNGS 5, 6 & 7.
The stabilisers are telescopic in construction and adjustable to three different lengths
to suit the three platform heights that require platform stabilisers to be used. The free
end has a spring self-locking slot, see Figure 4.2.
There is a spring-loaded ball locking mechanism which holds the stabiliser at any of
the three preset extensions. The stabiliser has a viewing window in its side that lets
you easily adjust it to the correct length using a colour coded system. The brackets
are also coloured, see Figure 4.3.
