Safety Brake
The safety brake stops the platform in the event of chain failure.
When the platform is in operation, the chain tension keeps the brake
mechanism up (Figure 6) so that the brake’s cam doesn’t interfere with the
tower track.
If a chain failure occurs, the brake mechanism comes down (Figure 6) and the
brake cam stops the platform.

Manual Lowering and Battery Lowering System
If a power failure occurs, a battery lowering system will bring the lift to the
bottom level. If the battery fails while operating, there is also a manual lowering
device that will bring the lift to the lower level.
For units with a 120 VAC pump, the manual lowering box (Figure 7) is located
on the side of the M-1504. When you pull on the steel cable located inside the
manual lowering box, the platform descends to ground level.
Figure 7
This mechanism is for emergency use only. After use of any emergency
function (access key or manual lowering device), ensure that all
doors/gates are secure and locked. While the emergency function is in
use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.
