ION GUIDELINES
If the vehicle must be set up with the slope, always keep the boom on the uphill side of the vehicle, chock the
wheels, and always work off the rear of the vehicle.
VEHICLE SETUP WITH THE SLOPE
If the vehicle must be set up where an outrigger extends into a ditch or gutter and the full extension does not
make firm contact, the outrigger must be blocked or cribbed up. Chock the wheels carefully to prevent
motion of the truck. Ensure cribbing (if required) provides stable support. If the vehicle must be set up so an
outrigger rests on a curb with the vehicle in the street, the outrigger span will be shortened and stability is
reduced. Ensure the curb has sufficient strength to support the load. All of the previous may affect the
stability of the vehicle and restrict the load capacity of the vehicle. Proceed with caution under these
conditions. If the outrigger support surface is not level with the truck, the bank may need to be cut away or
brought up to a level so the outrigger will provide proper support. The ground must be able to support the
load of the outrigger without sinking.
SETTING UP ON A SOFT SURFACE
If the ground is too soft to support the outrigger load or wheel load, the outriggers or tires must be padded or
cribbed until the ground will support the load or the unit cannot be used at that location. Make certain the
tires and outriggers are centered on the pads and the cribbing provides stable support as the booms are
moved.
