Operation
IMPORTANT! Outrigger equipped vehicles can be used with the outriggers
in either the raised or lowered position. The operator must operate the
vehicle within the limits specified on the appropriate capacity chart for the
outrigger position (up or down).
Procedure for Lowering of Outriggers
Secure and proper outrigger placement is critical for stability of the vehicle.
Avoid holes or drop-offs and soft or excessively uneven terrain. Lower
outriggers just far enough until the front of the vehicle starts to raise and
maintain a level position. Use the following procedure to assure that both
outriggers have been lowered securely.
IMPORTANT! For optimum vehicle stability, never lower the outriggers to
the point at which the tires come completely off the ground.
1. Before locating the vehicle at the lift point, observe that the landing
area for the outriggers is free of loose material or debris and that
the terrain appears to be solid and free of holes.
2. Position the vehicle at the lift point and level the vehicle to
zero degrees (0°). If the vehicle cannot be leveled, reposition the
vehicle.
3. Lower the right outrigger until the right front tire just starts to raise
and maintains this position.
4. Lower the left outrigger until the left front tire just starts to raise and
again maintains this position.
5. Frame sway the vehicle back to level (0°) if necessary.
