Steady leg
Place the socket spanner on the hexagon nut (Fig. 44,1) and rotate until
the steady leg is in a perpendicular downward position.
Remove the splint (Fig. 44,4) out of the support foot extension
(Fig. 44,5).
Extend the support foot extension until it has reached the required
length.
Insert the splint in the support foot extension.
Rotate the hexagonal nut until the steady leg rests completely on the
ground and the vehicle is in a horizontal position.
Place the socket spanner on the hexagon nut (Fig. 44,1) and rotate until
the steady leg is clear of the ground.
Remove the splint (Fig. 44,4) out of the support foot extension
(Fig. 44,5).
Push in the support foot extension (Fig. 44,5) and insert the splint
(Fig. 44,4) in the drilled hole in the support foot extension.
Rotate the hexagonal nut (Fig. 44,1) with the socket spanner until the
steady leg has swung upwards and the guide disc (Fig. 44,3) has com-
pletely retracted into the notch (Fig. 44,2).
Before commencing the journey, observe the following: Are all steady
legs and support foot extensions retracted completely and secured with
the splint?
5.7 Hydraulic steady legs
Do not raise the vehicle completely off the floor. Unstable and danger-
ous situations can arise if none of the wheels, particularly the braked
wheels, remain in contact with the ground.
When operating the hydraulic steady legs, ensure that nobody can be
put in danger and that the extension/retraction range of the steady
legs remains clear.
The steady legs must not be used to jack up the vehicle in order to
work beneath it, e.g. to change a wheel or carry out maintenance
work.
Whilst the vehicle is in a jacked up position, persons must not lie down
under it.
Before commencing the journey, check that all steady legs are com-
pletely retracted.
