WARNING! When operating two outrigger
grounding switches at the same time, choose
two front switches (outrigger (1) and (4)) or
two rear switches (outrigger (2) and (3)).
Operating two left or right switches at the
same time will suddenly raise two outriggers
on one side, causing overturning of the
machine.
6. Check the number on the operation plate at
the switch section on the outrigger operation
panel to determine which outrigger to be
operated.
7. Push down an outrigger grounding switch or
two of them at the same time to the "ON"
(upward) side.
When the outrigger setting cylinder retracts
and the machine starts to go down, return the
switch to the "Neutral" position.
Operate the remaining switches in the same
way and lower all the four outriggers to the
same height. Return the switch to the
"Neutral" position.
Repeat this operation to gradually lower the
machine until the rubber tracks go down
completely on the ground.
