(7) After you have finished setting the outriggers, check that the tires
are off the ground. If any tire is touching the ground, a reactive
force will act which will impair stability.
If site conditions are such that any of tires are still in contact with
the ground when the outrigger vertical cylinders are fully
extended, place plates etc. under the outrigger floats until all tires
are off the ground.
(8) After you have finished setting the outriggers, check that each outrigger float is in contact with the ground.
Also check that the ground is not deformed, the floats have not sunk down and the road shoulder is not crumbling.
(9) Set the "outrigger status" and "boom status" that will be used next on the ACS working status setting screen
correctly. If you will not be able to fully extend all outriggers in the actual work site, move the crane to a more
spacious area first, extend the outriggers fully and perform the ACS preoperational checks. The ACS preoperational
checks can be performed only when all outriggers are extended fully.
(Refer to the ACS instruction manual for details.)
(10) At the start of lifting, lift the load just clear of the ground to gauge the working condition and confirm that the
ground supports the outriggers adequately. If an outrigger supervisor is appointed to observe the outriggers during
operation, safety will be enhanced.
(11) This machine is equipped with control switches for outrigger operation on the side of the carrier and inside the cab.
Whichever switches you start moving, the ACS will automatically switch to the working status setting screen.
Reset the ACS if you have changed the outrigger configuration.
