7. Test the switch by removing the outrigger retention pin, move the outrigger in and out while
the outrigger leg is held with slight upward pressure. The proximity switch should open and

the corner of the scissors jack. With a continuity tester check to see if there is continuity
across the contacts of the switches. If there is not continuity then the procedure must be
redone.
2. Next lift the outrigger leg so that there is no pressure on the leg. There should no longer
be continuity across the contacts on the pressure switch.
3. Pull the outrigger retention pin
4. Move the outrigger leg in about 5 cm.
