The above drawings show the outrigger switches. The photo on the left shows the
“proximity” switch. The photo on the right is the ‘end’ view of the outrigger switch housing. In this
picture the right side of the housing shows the “pressure” switch and the left side shows the
proximity switch. The outrigger pin must be in place before the proper adjustment of the switches
can be made.
Caution: when inserting the outrigger legs care is needed. Do not force the outrigger leg
into position. The leg must be started in at an angle so as to get past the switches. Then the
outrigger leg can be slid into place. If the legs are forced in the legs will break the switches and
they will have to be replaced.
Preconditions for adjusting switches:
1. The scissors lift should be resting on the tires/wheels, not the outriggers.
2. The outriggers should be in position for lifting. That is the outriggers should be extended
into position so that they are ready to be put in use.
3. The pin holding the outriggers must be inserted so as to position the outrigger properly
(extended).
PROCEDURE FOR PRESSURE SWITCH:
1. Lift the outrigger leg so that it is not resting on the frame and is lifted high enough so that
it is in the same position with regard to the frame as it would be if the outrigger was
holding up the frame.
2. Loosen the adjustments screws so that the pressure switch can be moved.
3. Move the switch up then down.
4. While moving it down a slight click can be heard – that click is the switch opening.
5. Slowly lift the switch until a click is heard a second time. This click is the switch closing.
The switch should be moved only slightly so that the opening and closing of the switch will
happen when the outrigger leg is lifted or lowered.
6. Tighten that switch. This switch should now be calibrated.
Procedure for the proximity switch:
1. The proximity switch handle or leg should be directly over the detent in the outrigger leg.
2. Loosen the proximity switch screws.
3. Lift the leg
4. Lift the switch and then lower it until a click can be detected.
5. Raise the switch until the click can be detected the switch should be lifted slightly.
6. Tighten the proximity switch screws.
