Platform Extension
The machine is equipped with a mechanically extendable
deck, giving the operator better access to worksites. On
the 1930ES/2030ES/2630ES this extension adds 3 ft
(0.9m) and on the 2646ES and 3246ES the extension
adds 4 ft (1.2 m) to the front of the platform. To extend the
deck, pull out handles from latch and swing up, then use
the handles and handrail to push the extendable deck out.
To retract the deck, pull out the handles from latch and
swing up, use the handles and handrail to pull and retract
the deck. Be sure the handles are in place after the deck is
retracted. Maximum capacity of the deck extension is 250
lb (120 kg).
DO NOT LOWER PLATFORM WITHOUT COMPLETELY RETRACT-
ING THE PLATFORM EXTENSION.
Fold-Down Rails
DO NOT RAISE PLATFORM WITH RAILS FOLDED DOWN. THE
RAILS MUST BE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND PROPERLY
PINNED WHEN RAISING THE PLATFORM.

machine is in the stowed (fully lowered) position.
NOTE: Ensure that the drywall gate at the rear of the
machine is up and locked in position.
Platform control box should be removed placed on

pull the rails toward the back of the machine and
replace the bail pins into the rails. Return drywall
