SETTING THE OUTRIGGERS

Jack Type
1.
Disengage pin A and pull the outrigger assembly out until pin A re-engages at the furthest outward outrigger position. Refer
to Figure 1-1.
2.
Grasp the top of the outrigger tube firmly. Disengage pin B and carefully slide the outrigger foot down. CAUTION -
WATCH YOUR FEET, OUTRIGGERS SLIDE DOWN RAPIDLY! Refer to Figure 1-2. Extend all 4 outriggers and
lower all 4 outrigger feet to solid footing before proceeding.
3.
Insert the jacking bar, through the jack hole, into a hole in the outrigger tube. Disengage, and hold, pin B and pull or push
up on the jacking bar to lower the outrigger. Release pin B to hold the outrigger in place. Refer to Figure 1-2.
4.
Jack all 4 outriggers evenly. Raise the unit 2-3 holes on one outrigger, then proceed to the next outrigger. DO NOT OVER-
EXTEND ANY ONE OUTRIGGER. OUTRIGGERS MUST BE LOWERED EVENLY, AND IN SEQUENCE. The
unit must be level with the weight of the unit supported by all 4 outriggers. Note: When outriggers are set on a slope (5°
maximum), the outriggers on the downhill side will be extended further than those on the uphill side in order to level the lift.
5.
Continue the jacking sequence until both wheels are a minimum of 1/2" above the surface. The green lamp on the lower
control panel will light when all four outriggers are properly set. This green lamp indicates a ready operational condition.
CAUTION - BE SURE PIN A AND PIN B ARE FULLY RE-ENGAGED ON ALL 4 OUTRIGGERS BEFORE
OPERATING THE UNIT.
6.
Store the outriggers using the reverse sequence. CAUTION - MAKE SURE THE BOOM IS IN THE RETRACTED
TRAVELING POSITION BEFORE STORING THE OUTRIGGERS.
