Using The Jack Legs - NRC 30CS Operation And Maintenance Manual

3.7

Using the jack legs

The following sections explain how to use the jack legs to stabilize the wrecker and how to store
them after the job is finished.
You will need to stabilize the wrecker to prevent the back suspension from getting stuck on the
ground during lifting or winching and for providing a better ground grip.
3.7.1 Stabilizing the wrecker using the jack legs
Proceed as follows to stabilize the wrecker using the jack legs.
1. For more grip, install the recovery spades onto each jack leg. Lock them in place using
the locking pin.
NOTE: The recovery spades are stored in toolboxes on each side of the wrecker.
2. Go to the driver's side and lower the jack leg on this side to the ground, without jacking
up the wrecker.
Make sure you see the jack leg being lowered to ensure it does not hit any
people or objects.
3. Go to the passenger side of the wrecker and use the control panel to lower the jack leg on
this side, without jacking up the wrecker.
4. Lower both jack legs at the same time, just enough to get both rear wheels off the
ground.
Make sure that ONLY the jack leg feet touch the ground. If any other part of the jack
leg touches the ground, it will compromise the stability of the wrecker. If this is the
case, move the vehicle to more level ground and try again.
