4.6 OUTRIGGER OPERATION
BE CERTAIN THAT THE OUTRIGGER PADS ARE SET ON A FIRM AND
HORIZONTAL SURFACE. DO NOT SET THE OUTRIGGER PADS ON
INCLINED, VERTICAL, OR SLIPPERY SURFACES.
THE OUTRIGGERS WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE BOOM AND JIB
ARE COMPLETELY LOWERED, RETRACTED AND ALIGNED WITH
THE BASE.
NOTE: The base and boom/jib must be aligned and stowed
before this function will operate, see Section 4.4,
BASE AND BOOM/JIB ALIGNMENT.
Variable Outrigger Positioning
Position each outrigger from the transport position to the
restricted or full area of operation by pulling up on the black T
handle lock and swinging the outrigger to one of those posi-
tions. (see Figure 4-3.) Release the handle and make sure
each outrigger locks in the selected position.
If one of the four outrigger locking pins
is lifted or the outrigger position control
microswitch is not working properly, all
movement will be stopped and an error
message will appear on the platform/
remote control LCD display.
Operation will be possible when the out-
rigger position locking pin is properly
set and/or the microswitch is in the cor-
rect configuration again.
Check the correct positioning of the handle and the 2
microswitches at each outrigger before every use, as shown in
following illustration.
