Understanding the Boom/Outrigger Interlock System
The ultimate purpose of this interlock system is to add an extra measure of
stability allowing the boom to be extended to its maximum limits. There are
two modes to this interlock, the Extend Interlock and the Outrigger Interlock.
Extend Interlock Mode
(Figure 42)
The Extend Interlock Mode (Figure 42), limits boom extension to a point
after letter "E" has appeared on the side of the boom and before letter "F"
appears (Figure 42). A sensor in the boom will automatically STOP the
boom from extending past this point until the outriggers have been lowered
onto firm terrain.
With the OUTRIGGERS RAISED (Figure 42) and the boom inside of the
extension limit the vehicle will function normally. The Stabil-TRAK system
should perform as designed.
Figure 42
Outrigger Interlock Mode
(Figure 43)
The Outrigger Interlock Mode (Figure 43), allows for full boom extension
only as long as both outriggers have been lowered onto firm terrain (Figure
43) (OUTRIGGERS DOWN). Once this condition is met, the boom is
allowed to extend to its full limits.
