VEHICLE LEVELLING
The hydraulic stabilisers are controlled by hand operated valves, mounted on the
nearside of the platform pick-up body above the wheel arch.
Indicator lamps shows whether stabilisers are in stowed or set conditions:-
Red = non-stowed lamp in cab
Green = stabilisers correctly deployed (lamp is on side face of control panel.
Each stabiliser can be controlled independently to allow for levelling on uneven ground.
To lower the stabilisers and level the vehicle:-
1.
Ensure that the area surrounding the stabilisers is clear.
2.
Operate handbrake and chock the wheels.
This is critical when operating on a gradient.
3.
With the PTO engaged, operate the stabiliser valve to lower the stabilisers to
ground level.
4.
Continue to lower the front stabilisers until the weight is taken off the vehicle's
suspension, fully extend the front stabilisers for maximum stability, leave one
‘short’ to level the platform if required. Continue extending the rear legs to level
the vehicle and illuminate the leg-set light on the panel.
