What happens when the tape switches of the split deck maintenance platform detect an obstruction?

When the tape switches of the split deck maintenance platform detect an obstruction, the platform will stop all operations. This immediate response to an obstruction is a critical safety feature designed to prevent accidents or injuries. By halting operations, the platform ensures that personnel can safely assess the situation without the risk of being injured by moving parts or machinery. Stopping all operations is a precautionary measure that allows for a thorough evaluation and resolution of any potential hazards before the platform can resume normal functionality.

The other options do not capture the intensity or urgency of the safety response needed in the event of an obstruction and are thus not the appropriate actions taken by the platform.
