10.3 ADJUSTMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC STABILIZING LEGS
•
Hydraulic stabilizing legs [option OAH013 – OAH014] may be purchased along with your liftgate at the initial order, or may be
purchased and retrofitted to your liftgate later.
NOTICE
•
DHOLLANDIA strongly recommends the use of hydraulic stabilizing legs to load and unload heavy machinery.
•
The use of stabilizing legs is mandated by various vehicle manufacturers. Consult the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
•
The purpose of the stabilizing legs is to prevent the vehicle from becoming unstable and tipping over, and to support the vehicle
chassis during loading and unloading. They are NOT suitable to lift the complete vehicle and its cargo. Refer to the OPERATION
MANUAL section 9.7 for safe operation practices.
•
3 methods are available to mount the stabilizing legs to the lift frame.
OAH014.01 = stabilizing legs are mounted
with fixed brackets on the lift frame.
OAH014.02 = stabilizing legs are mounted
with adjustable brackets on the lift frame.
OAH014.03 = stabilizing legs are mounted
on the rear face of the mounting plates of
the lift frame
•
For OAH014.01 and OAH014.03, the position of the mounting plates for the stabilizing legs on the lift frame is fixed.
•
For OAH014.02, the plates can be moved sideways to reach an optimum position between the chassis beams and the lift arms.
•
Make sure that the stabilizing legs, their hydraulic pipes and valves stay clear of the chassis and other possible obstructions.
•
Make sure that both plates are correctly centered and mounted at equal distance from the L+R extremities of the lift frame.
•
Make sure the bolts of the adjustable plates are fastened with the required torque. See values for “shear” .
