User Guide
When fitted with the deckRailXtra® system the scissor lift is for indoor use
unless specified otherwise and ONLY after consultation with your supplier.
The deckRailXtra® system is designed to assist the Operator or User to safely

an Operator in the platform.

To ensure that the visibility of the operator is not compromised the load
must be distributed so as to remain below the eyeline of the operator.

Using the board carrier option
Ensure the clamps have been adjusted to accommodate the board width

locking nut and adjusting the clamp closing width as illustrated @ “A” below.
The clamps are fitted with an “overcentre” locking mechanism and safety
handle. The safety handle must be first released before the clamp will open
as illustrated @ “B” below. Each clamp can also be rotated through 90° to
allow for “portrait” or “landscape” configuration.
