How to Remove an Outrigger
1 Extend the outrigger until the pad just touches
the ground. Do not rest the weight of the
machine on the outrigger.
2 Tag, disconnect and plug the hydraulic supply
hoses at the outrigger cylinder. Cap the fittings.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to
squirt or spray.
Component damage hazard.
Hoses can be damaged if they are
kinked or pinched.
3 Attach a lifting strap from an overhead crane to
the outrigger assembly. Raise the outrigger to
approximately 80°.
4 Remove the fasteners securing the outrigger
cylinder rod-end pivot pin to the machine.
5 Use a soft metal drift to remove the pivot pin.
Lower the cylinder onto the outrigger.
Crushing hazard. The cylinder
may become unbalanced and fall
if not properly supported when the
pivot pin is removed from the
machine.
