Stabilizer Operation
Before operating the stabilizers, make sure that the service truck is parked on an even
surface and be aware of the surface the truck has been positioned upon. The area should
be a firm supporting surface.
Keep clear of stabilizer legs during operation. Moving stabilizers can
cause serious crushing injuries. Make certain that all personnel are clear of the stabilizer
and the ground contact point before operating.
Do not raise the rear tires of the truck off the ground with the stabilizers.
Confirm that the stabilizers are positioned on stable, flat ground and that the truck is as
level as possible both front to rear and side to side. Use stabilizer pads to ensure the proper
distribution of weight.
Step 1: Fully extend the stabilizer beam. Note: Manual beams will have to be pulled out. If
equipped with a power out option, push downward on the valve bank lever labled
‘CS Extend’ or ‘SS Extend’ until the beam stops moving outward.
Step 2: Lower the curbside stabilizer leg by pushing down on the valve bank lever labled
‘CS Down.’ Lower the stabilizer until it makes good contact with the firm supporting
surface. If equipped with manual crankdown legs, manually lower the legs until
they make good contact with the supporting surface. Avoid over-extending the
stabilizer leg. The truck tires should remain in contact with the ground surface.
Step 3: Lower the streetside stabilizer leg by pushing downward on the valve bank control
lever labled ‘SS Down.’ Lower the stabilizer until it makes good contact with the
firm supporting surface. If equipped with manual crankdown legs, manually
lower the legs until they make good contact with the supporting surface. Avoid
over-extending the stabilizer leg. The truck tires should remain in contact with the
ground surface.
