SETTING THE OUTRIGGERS WITH THE POWER JACK OPTION

1. Trailer the UniLift to the work area and position for operation.
If on a slope, block the wheels as needed. Disconnect the tongue
trailer wires, the safety chains and release the ball coupler. Place
the third wheel in the horizontal, stowed position while setting the
outriggers.

2. Turn the key switch on the lower control panel to SET UP (Refer
to Figure 1-2A). Press the toggle switch on the power jack UP to
raise the tongue above the hitch ball. Remove the towing vehicle
from  the  work  area. Press  DOWN  on  the  power jack  switch  to
lower the tongue to the ground.

3. On the rear outriggers, disengage pin A and slide the horizontal outrigger out until it locks. 
Refer to Figure 1-1. Grasp the vertical outriggers, disengage pin B and lower to the ground.

 CAUTION - WATCH YOUR FEET, OUTRIGGERS SLIDE DOWN RAPIDLY! 

Refer to Figure 1-2. Disengage pin B, lift up the horizontal outrigger until there are 8 holes showing at
the bottom of the vertical leg. Check pins A and B on the rear outriggers to be sure that they are fully
re-engaged.

4. Press the power jack switch UP until the front of the UniLift is above level.  This can be determined
by  watching  the  position  of  the  tongue.    On  the  front  outriggers,  disengage  pin  A  and  slide  the
horizontal outrigger out until it locks.  Grasp the front vertical outriggers, disengage pin B and lower
to the ground.  Disengage pin B, lift up the horizontal outrigger until there are 8 holes showing at the
bottom of the vertical leg.  Check pins A and B on the front outriggers to be sure that they are fully
re-engaged.  Press the power jack switch DOWN until the power jack foot is off the ground.  Turn the
key switch on the lower control from SETUP to ON.  The green OUTRIGGER INDICATOR LIGHT
will show that the unit is ready for operation.

CAUTION  -  BE  SURE  PIN  A  AND  PIN  B  ARE  FULLY  RE-ENGAGED  ON  ALL  FOUR
OUTRIGGERS BEFORE OPERATING THE UNILIFT.

NOTE: 
Eight holes showing on the lower part of each leg will accomplish a set up on level surfaces. For set up
on a slope, the outrigger height setting will vary as needed to level the UniLift. Use the level indicator
on the power jack to determine if the machine set up is level.

To prepare the UniLift for towing, stow the boom and reverse the above procedure, being sure that the
power jack is in the fully raised position for towing.
