OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
If the crane is setup on outriggers and "On Outriggers" is
chosen when programming the RCL (Figure 3-17), then the
OMS indicates to the RCL the horizontal position of each of
the four outrigger beams. Based on this information, the RCL
will default to the most conservative outrigger beam
configuration; that is, if three outriggers are fully extended
and one is retracted, the RCL will select retracted as the
outrigger configuration. A confirmation of this outrigger
configuration is all that is needed (Figure 3-18). Refer to the
Rated Capacity Limiter Operator Handbook for detailed
instructions.
NOTE: Figure 3-18 depicts all four outrigger beams in the
mid-extend position as indicated by the OMS and
RCL.

retraction switch slightly to ensure proper pin
engagement.

2. Slowly extend or retract the outrigger beam, allowing the
locking pin to drop into the hole in the top of the outrigger
beam, engaging the outrigger beam at the desired
length.
Stowing the Outriggers
1. Select the rear jack cylinders with the Stabilizer Selector
switches and hold the Extension/Retraction switch to
RETRACT until the rear jack cylinders have retracted
several inches.
2. Select the front jack cylinder with the Stabilizer Selector
switches and hold the Extension/Retraction switch to
RETRACT until the front jack cylinders have retracted
several inches.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the crane is resting on all four
wheels and the jack cylinder floats are several inches off
the ground
Keep feet and hands clear of floats when unlocking the
floats from the jack cylinders.
NOTE:
4. Release the locking levers and allow the floats to drop to
the ground.

5. Continue to retract the jack cylinders until they are fully
retracted.

Outrigger Selector panel and hold the outrigger
Extension/Retraction rocker switch to RETRACT. The
appropriate outrigger beam should begin to retract.

outrigger floats.

Crushing Hazard!
Each jack cylinder float weighs approximately 70 lb
(32 kg).
More than one outrigger may be retracted at one
time.
If the lock pin is wedged in the hole in the outrigger
beam, it may be necessary to jog the outrigger
extension/retraction switch slightly while pulling
upward on the pin.
