8.2. STABILIZATION
!
WARNING
DANGER
Before stabilization, check the firmness of the ground. In case of soft or slippery ground,
adopt all necessary devices to make it firm and safe.
Before extending the jacks of the Ruthmann-ECOLINE the working range and the correspondingly necessary
supporting basis must be fixed. The following jack base positions are e.g. possible:
a)
full extension of stabilizing jacks
: all jack arms are completely extended horizontally.
b)
extension of jacks on both sides within vehicle profile (OPTIONAL)
: the jack arms remain
completely retracted on both sides in horizontal position.
The jack arm must either completely be extended horizontally or completely be retracted horizontally.
Intermediate positions for the horizontal extension are forbidden. The computer control recognizes, in
relation to the degree of extension of the jack arms and the interrogation of the ground-contact of the jack-
cylinders, the working range permissible for that jacking situation.
!
WARNING
IMPORTANT
•
The jack plates must have horizontal contact with the ground and must not jam. They
must be freely moveable during positioning procedure.
•
The ECOLINE must not be able to slip.
•
In case of insufficient jack stroke the jack plates must be supported accordingly.
•
The jacks have to be extended at least until the boom movement is released by the main
control. All jacks must have ground contact.
•
The inclination of positioning of the ECOLINE must be controlled by means of the levelling
indicator.
The permissible inclination of positioning must not be exceeded.
!
WARNING
IMPORTANT
For the working ranges with “full jacking”, or “jacking within the
vehicle profile on both
sides” the wheels of the vehicle must be discharged and free of load, that means: the
wheels must have left the ground (ground clearance).
The vehicle is well set when the 4 wheels are lifted from ground
.
For a correct stabilization,
you should always lift the wheels from the ground even if for few centimetres. When the
platform is stabilized, the contact of the wheels with the ground results in a reduction of the
stability of the platform.
