FAILURE TO DEPLOY THE OUTRIGGERS CORRECTLY COULD RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
ALL MODELS
1)
Read and fully comply with all safety precautions and operating instructions in the Operating
and Safety manual and the warning decals on the machine.
2)
Position Niftylift on firm, level ground. NEVER work with base across or adjacent to any
slope
3)
Position Niftylift, bearing in mind range of boom movement so that any overhead obstruction
or possible hazards such as, but not limited to, power cables, telephone lines, drains, man-
hole covers, etc.
4)
If the load bearing capacity of the ground is in any doubt the machine must NOT be used.
5)
Chock wheels and cordon off area using appropriate cones, barriers and flags.
6)
Release boom travelling clamp. (If applicable)
7)
Check all red emergency stops are not engaged i.e. fully out.
8)
Ensure selector valve adjacent to drive/outrigger control station is turned fully down to
outrigger/drive position. (For four wheel drive machine grasp and hold duty selector. Power
will be available automatically).
9)
From the cage control station depress and hold the green power button or footswitch to give
hydraulic power to the outriggers and select the appropriate control lever. Note: No power
will be available if the booms are not stowed onto the boom rest.
10)
Using the four outrigger control levers, (toggle switches on 4WD), lower each outrigger onto
a firm, level surface and level machine base ensuring each outrigger foot is taking equal
weight with the wheels clear off the ground.
11)
Check machine is level using spirit level on the base, visible from the cage.
12)
Change selector valve at drive/outrigger control station to platform, i.e. turn fully up. (On four
wheel drive machines, releasing the duty selector handle automatically returns the machine
to "platform" operation).
13)
The booms can now be operated from the ground or cage control station by depressing and
holding the green power button. Note: If no power is available check each outrigger is
lowered and each footpad is taking equal weight.
14)
Always lower booms fully before adjusting, raising, retracting or moving the outriggers in any
way.
