JLG X17J Operator Manual - Manual (Page 87)

If during lowering one of the stabilisers does not touch the ground, the machine will conti‑
nue to operate the cylinder at the end of its stroke until the motor switches off or the self‑
levelling procedure ends. This situation is normal and indicates that the slope the machine is
situated on exceeds the allowable limit for stabilisation. If at the end of the stabilisation
phase the machine has to be lifted even further from the ground, a new self‑levelling proce‑
dure can be run.
NOTE: using the self‑levelling procedure does not affect the operation of the stabilisers in
manual mode.
• AUTOMATIC RAISING OF THE STABILISERS
Press and hold button 1 on the radio control.
The four stabilisers will start to lower the machine and then will retract completely.
The end of the automatic stabiliser raising cycle is shown on a screen for a few seconds. If
this screen is not shown, the automatic stabiliser raising procedure can still be considered
completed once all the four stabilisers have been completely retracted and consequently the
relevant cylinders are at the end of their stroke.
If problems occur during either of these procedures, immediately release the selected but‑
ton to stop all the movements. Stabilising the machine on a slope exceeding the allowed
limits may cause instability and consequently harm to or even death of operators or other
persons in and around the working area. Work must only be performed with the machine
stabilised at an inclination under the limits specified by the manufacturer.
The elevating platform is considered stabilised when the slope is less than 1° and the tracks
are raised at least 5 cm from the ground. NEVER WORK AT A HEIGHT WITH THE
TRACKS NOT COMPLETELY RAISED FROM THE GROUND.
