5.4 Operation of the outriggers
The outriggers must be deployed and the chassis of the access platform must be levelled. The
chassis can be leveled by either using automatic leveling function or controlling individual outriggers
manually. The maximum allowed levelling inaccuracy is 1,0°.
Make sure that the ground under every outrigger is solid enough
– put extra plates on the ground if
necessary.
Booms must not be operated without properly deployed outriggers!
5.4.1 Automatic leveling
Automatic leveling will deploy all outriggers against ground and level the chassis automatically.
Set-up:
1. Press the lower button of the automatic leveling switch (Figure 5 (4)). The button doesn
’t need
to be held down.
2. The access platform will deploy all outriggers and level the chassis automatically.
3. While the leveling is in progress the green light of the automatic leveling will blink.
4. When the chassis is leveled the green light of the automatic leveling (Figure 5 (5)) will stay on
continuously.
Check the leveling from the water level (Figure 10 (2))!
5. Booms can be operated if the chassis is leveled according to the water level also.
Setting the outriggers to transport position:
1. Lower all booms on to their transport supports.
2. Green indicator light of boom transport support (see 4.1.6) must be lit.
3. Press the upper button of the automatic leveling switch (Fi
gure 5 (4)). The button doesn’t need
to be held down.
4. The access platform will drive outriggers a little off from the ground which allows the user to
operate drive functions.
5. If the outriggers need to be driven in their transport positions press keep the upper button of
the automatic leveling switch held down and release when all outriggers reach their transport
positions.
5.4.2 Outrigger manual drive
Outrigger manual drive can be used in tight or otherwise tricky environments. If the access platform
needs to be driven sideways on a slope, lower the downhill side outriggers so that they are close to
the ground. This prevents the machine from tipping over.
The green light of the automatic leveling will blink when all four outriggers are firmly against the
ground and will stay on constantly when the chassis of the access platform is leveled.
Check the
leveling from the water level (Figure 10 (2))!
