• Two sets of outriggers: The outriggers are extended to support the weight of the unit. The tires must
remain in contact with the ground.
• The vehicle can be leveled slightly with the outriggers.
• The axles not located between the outriggers must equally support the load of the truck so the
suspension on each side is equally loaded.
• If the unit is equipped with a lower lift more stringent requirements may be required for proper
stability. Refer to decals on the vehicle or manual supplements for proper instructions.
SETTING UP ON A SLOPING SURFACE
If the vehicle must be set up across a slope, the surface can be up to 5 degrees from level but must be firm
and flat where tires are located. If one side of the vehicle is low, extend the low side outrigger first and make
sure that firm contact is made. If full extension does not make firm contact, the outrigger pad must be
blocked up. Always chock the wheels. Keep the boom on the uphill side. If the slope exceeds 5 degrees
before setting the outriggers the tires must also be blocked and cribbed so the truck is parked at less than 5
degrees. If the unit has one set of outriggers do not level the truck with the outriggers. On units with one set
of outriggers using the outriggers to level the truck does not change the slope, it reduces the truck
suspension’s ability to support the load and provide stability.
VEHICLE SETUP ACROSS THE SLOPE
The outrigger moving alarm will sound when the outrigger control is activated. If the
alarm does not sound, it must be repaired.
Working on slopes that exceed 5 degrees may result in vehicle tipping over.
