vehicle. DO NOT raise or otherwise disturb the
vehicle while installing the outrigger assembly. Keep
the assembly supported and balanced on the jack,
hoist or overhead crane and sling throughout the
installation procedure.

on the pivot pin (11), as recorded during removal.

axle, and secure with eight capscrews (6), eight flat
washers (8) and eight hex nuts (7).

8. Connect the wiring connectors to the outrigger

cylinder pressure switches (1 and 2). Secure the
harnesses to the cylinders with wire ties.

9. Check the hydraulic reservoir oil level.

10. Start the engine. Turn the steering wheel several

times lock to lock, operate the frame tilt function
several times in both directions and check the
function of the brakes. Check for hydraulic leaks, and
tighten or repair as necessary.

WARNING:

Avoid prolonged engine

operation in closed areas without adequate
ventilation. Failure to properly ventilate
exhaust fumes can result in death or severe
personal injury.

WARNING:

Escaping hydraulic fluid

under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing
death or serious injury. Before starting the
engine, tighten all hydraulic connections and
remove all tools from the vehicle. NEVER
check for leaks using any part of the human
body; use a piece of cardboard or wood
instead. Wear heavy, protective gloves and
eye protection.
