4.1.6 OUTRIGGERS
The four outriggers are deployed using the individual levers behind the main turret. Each lever controls
the movement of an outrigger leg, their relative positions being indicated by the lever spacing. The left
hand lever controls the left rear jack, the next the left front, then the right front and lastly the right rear.
To allow the outrigger circuit to generate flow to the individual legs, the hydraulic selector switch is
turned clockwise to 'outriggers'. This diverts flow to the outrigger circuit and at the same time
energises the boom/jack dump valve. If high throttle is selected, the engine will go to high revs,
allowing the four outriggers to be deployed in the best possible time. As the feet reach the end of
travel, the high throttle control can be turned 'off' allowing fine positioning of each leg and assisting in
the levelling process. The machine should be levelled using the indicator mounted on the machine
base, clearly visible between the outrigger controls and the platform edge. If necessary, each jack foot
should have a spreader plate inserted beneath it to spread the foot load and prevent sinking. The
machine must be set up level before the booms are elevated, on firm ground or with the working area
adequately consolidated.
FAILURE TO DEPLOY THE OUTRIGGERS CORRECTLY COULD RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
