9. OPERATION OF THE OUTRIGGERS
Lifting the booms without setting down the outriggers is never allowed!
Outriggers shall be driven down to support position as follows:
1. Make sure that the function selector switch no. 4 at platform’s control panel (see page
15, picture 5) is in outrigger position
2. Make sure that the green indicator no. 4 (p. 16, picture 6) is not lit.
3. Deploy the outriggers down by pulling the levers of the control valve (see page 16). It is
possible to deploy only one outrigger at the time but it is recommended to deploy two
outriggers (front or rear) at the same time. Make sure that the ground under every
outrigger is solid enough
– put extra plates on the ground if necessary.
4. Drive the outriggers down on the ground firmly enough. They must be driven down so
much
that all wheels lift off the ground!
(Usually it is not necessary to push the
outriggers further unless it is necessary to reach higher). Make sure that the wheels do not
touch the ground before starting to lift the booms.
5. When all outriggers are firmly on the ground and wheels lifted off the ground, check the
horizontal position of the lift with the water level which is mounted on top of the control
valve (p. 16, picture 6).
It is not allowed to lift the booms if the machine is not level!
6. After the machine has been levelled and supported correctly, the green indicator that
allows lifting of the booms is lit, turn the function selector switch to boom lifting position.
If the green indicator of boom lifting is lit when the outriggers are not correctly
deployed, the operation of this access platform is not allowed! Contact nearest
Leguan service!
