n Operating The Auto Level System
q

Setting the stabilisers automatically

1. The engine must be running and the
S3970RT / S3370RT / S2770RT set for
platform control box operation.
Note:

'Auto Level' position until all movement
stops or the Lift Enable Light €
illuminates.The S3970RT / S3370RT /
S2770RT will attempt to automatically level
itself.
3. The Lift Enable Light € will illuminate if all
4 feet are in contact with the ground and the
machine is level.
4. If a stabiliser foot will not go down sufficiently
to make contact with the ground it is possible
that the cylinder has reached the end of its
stroke. Retract all stabilisers and put suitable
dunnage under the feet that did not touch the
ground and repeat step (2).
S3970RT, S3370RT & S2770RT – 13865-1
NOTE:
Manual or auto levelling is possible any time that
stabiliser movement is allowed. For example, the
machine can be manually levelled part way and
then auto levelled without the necessity of
retracting the stabilisers between the two (2)
operations.
q

Raising the stabilisers automatically

1. Completely lower the platform.
2. Press and hold the switch  up to the 'Auto
Stow' position. The stabilisers will raise to
the stowed position.
n The Risks of Op er at ing Scis sor Lifts
on Out rig gers on Ramps and Slopes
There is a risk of scis sor lifts with out rig gers slid ing
down ramps, drive ways, un der ground car park en -
try ramps and out door slopes. The con trib ut ing fac -
tors in clude newly painted ramps, icy, wet, oil and
sand cov ered ramps, grassy and loose sur face
slopes.
This can oc cur when the plat form is fully low ered or
when el e vated.
Do NOT at tempt to pack wheel chocks or tim ber
un der the out rig ger footplates, or the tyres.
T
The out rig ger foot plates must be low ered only onto
a firm sur face that can sup port the load of the
S3970RT / S3370RT / S2770RT and its rated ca -
pac ity.
The po si tion ing of out rig ger footplates on stepped
level sur faces (ca pa ble of sup port ing the S3970RT
/ S3370RT / S2770RT) is ac cept able (see Fig ure
8.17 & 8.18).
