Crush Hazard
Before extending stabilizers:
Look around vehicle.
Clear area of all people.
Extending stabilizers on people
may injure or kill.
Ground Support
Position the carrier vehicle on a firm, level surface for adequate stabilizer support. If stabilizers
appear to bury themselves in a less than firm surface, then DO NOT perform a lift until a suitable
location is found. DO NOT position the stabilizers near sharp drop-offs or areas of uncertain
firmness.
Before a lift is made, be certain that the parking brake is set and the drive axle is disengaged.
Extend stabilizers fully out and then down. Park the carrier vehicle so that it is level from the
front to the rear. Use the power down stabilizer function to level the vehicle from side-to-side.
Utilize a signal person if the stabilizers are not in view from the operator’s station when
extending or lowering the stabilizers.
