5.
Pull the restraining strap sharply upwards and extend over the wheels. (This will
keep the legs, mast and boom neatly together during transit and storage).
NOTE–
Care should be exercised when folding/unfolding an Advance as there is a possible danger
of pinching the fingers etc. Please follow the instructions carefully and ask for assistance
if you are unsure of the correct procedure.
ALWAYS CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE OPERATION
• The legs are fully engaged from the stowed position (see assembly instructions,
step 5)
•
The mast is fully locked into position (see assembly instructions, step 4)
•
The legs of the lift open and close satisfactorily.
•
The red emergency stop button, located on the rear of the control box, is in the
OFF (out) position.
•
Push the up and down buttons on the hand control and confirm the boom rises
and lowers.
• Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack in place
is fully engaged. “Click” in place.
HYDRAULIC MODELS ONLY
•
Close the hydraulic unit release valve by turning the knob clockwise on the unit.
NOTE–
The release valve requires only minimal tightening to operate and should only be closed
finger tight. DO NOT apply excessive force to the valve knob as this will result in damage
to the valve.
•
Pump the handle of the hydraulic unit and confirm the ram raises the boom.
•
Open the release valve fully anticlockwise and check the boom descends. An
unloaded boom will not come down under its own weight. It will be necessary to
apply some pressure to the boom before it will descend.
NOTE–
The release valve is fully open and encounters a positive end stop in less than two full
turns of the knob

mast locking device fully (remove) and lift the mast and boom completely free from the
base. Be careful not to loose the mast lock device’s, knob and location spindle.
4.
Lift the folded Advance upright (using the legs and push handle as a guide) being
careful that the mast and boom stay together as you tilt upright.
