STABILITY
The stability of a vehicle equipped with a rotating aerial device depends on the gross weight of the vehicle
and load, the slope of the work area, and whether the ground is firm enough to support the weight of the
outrigger pads. These conditions are widely variable, so the operator must exercise good judgement and
extreme caution to learn just what their particular vehicle can handle.
IMPORTANT: Know the loading capacities of your unit under all conditions of load, terrain, and
Aerial Device.
Keep loads close to the ground until you determine for sure that the load can be
balanced safely at the maximum distance you wish to work.
Increasing the distance from the vehicle to the load will affect the stability of the
Aerial Device. Keep loads close to the ground until you determine that the load can
be balanced safely at the maximum distance you wish to work.
This Aerial Device has been tested for stability on a flat firm surface with a
maximum slope of 5 degrees. Working on slopes that exceed 5 degrees may result
in vehicle tipping over.
