OPERATION OF THE OUTRIGGERS
The outriggers are placed in the support position as follows:
1.
Turn the ‘mode selection’ switch to the outrigger operation position.
2.
Ensure that the four red outrigger pressure signal lights are on and that the green light does
not light up! If the red outrigger pressure lights are not on, push all the outrigger levers
up. The red lights should light up.
3.
Place all the outriggers down by pushing the control levers. The outriggers may be
controlled individually but operating two at a time is recommended. Check that all the
outriggers are placed on a solid surface - when necessary, use plates for additional support.
4.
The outriggers must be placed down so that none of the wheels touch the ground! Usually
the outriggers should not be driven further unless it is necessary to achieve the correct
elevation.
5.
When all the outriggers are down and the wheels are off the ground, level the platform
using the water level. The water level is mounted on top of the base’s control casing. The
booms may only be lifted once the platform is level!
6.
When the access platform is level and appropriately supported, the green lifting light
switches on and all the red lights switch off - the ‘mode selection’ switch can now be
turned to the ‘boom operation’ position. If the platform is level and supported by the
outriggers but one or more red pressure lights remains lit up, press all the outrigger control
levers down sharply.
NOTE! If the green lifting light switches on even though the outriggers are not
appropriately positioned, using the access platform is strictly prohibited! Contact
the maintenance service!
Booms must not be operated without properly deployed outriggers!
