Hydraulic Outrigger Operation
1. When using hydraulic outriggers, the
semitrailer must be kept level at all times. Do
not lower the parking stands. Loads being
placed on the semitrailer must be kept
centered on the semitrailer. An unlevel
semitrailer may allow a load to slide, causing
injury or death to anyone near the load!
2. Do not operate hydraulic outriggers with
insufficient space on both sides of the
semitrailer. Semitrailer will lean if deck is not
kept level. Persons or equipment can be
crushed between semitrailer side and rigid
objects.
IMPORTANT
1. When using outrigger lift legs, place suspension
lower switch to "ON" position.
2. Ladder to be in stowed position for sideshift
operation.
3. Release undercarriage brakes before lowering
trailer (See Figure 3-3.)
4. Check that the hydraulic outriggers are fully
retracted into home position for highway
operation of semitrailer.
5. Suspension lower switch must be in "OFF"
position for highway operation.
6. Reset undercarriage brakes for highway
operation (See Figure 3-3.)
DANGER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 3-7: Maintain a Level Deck
Be sure to check that the hydraulic outriggers are
fully retracted into home position for highway
operation of semitrailer (See Figure 3-6.) Failure
to retract the hydraulic outriggers before
operating can cause severe damage to the
semitrailer.
The Hydraulic Outriggers are used to make the trailer
ready to load and unload, allows the trailer to be shifted
from side to side, and provides stability during the loading
and unloading process (See Figure 3-6.)
1. Extend self-stored outrigger arms (out) from frame
followed by extending lift leg (up).
2. Place foot pad on ground aligning socket with end of
lift leg cylinder and install anchor pin.
IMPORTANT
Front outrigger lift leg foot must be parallel to
landing gear foot to prevent interference and/or
damage to either piece of equipment.
CAUTION
