11 - SPECIAL VERSIONS AND OPTIONALS
The MAXISTAB stabilizers can be provided with some optionals which can solve problems related to
difficult or particular installations.
11.1 “GIR” (tilting) version
This version is to be specified on order, and has got slewing cylinders, which can pivot on a pin, with the
possibility of pegging the cylinders in transport position to different angles compared to the vertical line.
Normally, the standard positions are 45° and 180°.
This version is chosen when you require a reasonable stroke of the stabilizer cylinders, but their overall
dimensions are excessive and they cannot stay in vertical position, or when there are some cumbersome
parts on the vehicle, which do not allow the correct placing in vertical transport position of the cylinders.
Conversions into this version starting from standard stabilizers are not possible. This version is to be
originally ordered.
11.2 Swivel foot kit
It is installed as standard on the biggest models starting from series
3
, and it helps preventing bending
stresses on cylinder rods, in case the foot plate bearing surface is not completely flat.
It can be requested as optional also on series
ML-0-1
.
11.3 Cylinders rod extensions
Such optionals are used in case you realize that the fully extended stabilizer cylinders are not able to
stabilize sufficiently the vehicle. They are normally threaded male-female, and can be mounted by placing
them between rod and foot plate, screwing them thoroughly and locking them up and down by a dowel.
Next Hydraulics
is able to supply optional rod extensions, whose dimensions are mentioned in the
MAXISTAB
catalogue. The dimensions, the mounting procedure and the materials they are made of
ensure their suitability for installation on our stabilizers.
ATTENTION - DANGER
The application of rod extensions to the stabilizer cylinders is to be made with extreme care, as in
general it implies an increase of stresses on the rods, with following danger of inflection and unexpected
yielding of the same, and consequent risk for the stability of the vehicle.
Before applying non-original extensions, always consult Next Hydraulics, in order to check whether they
are suitable and correctly mounted.
In particular, in case of extensions applied by welding (operation to avoid as far as possible), before
welding the extension to the rod you must always fully extend the rod itself up to its stroke end, in order
to prevent the burning of cylinder head seals.
All cylinders leaking oil owing to the inobservance of such basic precaution are not acknowledged under
warranty.
