WARNING!
• There are four outriggers. Be careful to
operate the eight individual outrigger
switches correctly. Check the position on
the "number plate" affixed to each outrigger
against the number indicated on the
"operation plate" on the switch unit.
Operating the wrong outrigger may result in
serious accidents.
• Set the engine speed to low speed when
operating the outrigger switches.
If the engine speed is set to high speed, the
outriggers may operate suddenly, resulting
in machine toppling or other serious
accidents.

machine tilts for "3 degrees" or more when
setting the outriggers. Operate the outrigger
switches and adjust the machine to be
levelled in which state the alarm buzzer will
not sound.
