OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES RT9130E-2 OPERATOR MANUAL
3-44 Published 3-1-2018, Control # 559-03
NOTE: More than one outrigger beam can be extended at
a time. However, to ensure that each outrigger is
fully extended, repeat step 3 for each outrigger
after a multi-outrigger extension.
4. After deploying the four outrigger beams to one of the
three proper positions (fully retracted, mid-extend, fully
extended), depress the desired Stabilizer Switch on the
Outrigger Selector Panel and hold the Outrigger
Extension/Retraction Switch to EXTEND. The
appropriate jack begins to move.
Extend each jack, positioning the float as necessary,
until the locking levers of the float engage the jack
cylinder barrel.
NOTE: More than one jack can be extended at a time.
5. Extend the front jacks approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to
4in).
6. Extend the rear jacks approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to
4in).
NOTE: If crane is equipped with tilting cab, ensure cab is in
the lowered position before leveling machine.
7. Repeat step 4 until all wheels are clear of the ground
and the crane is level as indicated by the bubble level
indicator located on the right side of the cab.
NOTE: If it is suspected that the bubble level indicator is
out of adjustment, verify and adjust the bubble level
using the procedures under Bubble Level
Adjustment, page 3-43.
Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS)
(Optional)
The Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS) aids the operator in
accurately programming the Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL)
by automatically identifying the horizontal position of each
outrigger beam. The OMS uses four sensors, one per
outrigger beam, to indicate when an outrigger beam is
positioned to one of three pre-defined locations, including
fully retracted, mid-extend, and fully extended.
Set up of the outriggers is the same for cranes equipped with
OMS; refer to Setting the Outriggers, page 3-43.
If the crane is setup on outriggers and “On Outriggers” is
chosen when programming the RCL (Figure 3-20), then the
OMS indicates to the RCL the horizontal position of each of
the four outrigger beams. Based on this information, the RCL
will default to the most conservative outrigger beam
configuration; that is, if three outriggers are fully extended
and one is retracted, the RCL will select retracted as the
outrigger configuration. A confirmation of this outrigger
configuration is all that is needed (Figure 3-21). Refer to the
Rated Capacity Limiter Operator Handbook for detailed
instructions.
NOTE: Figure 3-21 depicts all four outrigger beams in the
mid-extend position as indicated by the OMS and
RCL.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
All four outrigger beams must be deployed to one of three
positions before beginning operation, which include fully
retracted, mid-extend, or fully extended; do not operate
the crane with the outriggers in any other position.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
The mid-extend outrigger beam lock pin must be engaged
before operating on any beam from the mid-extend
position.
The proper load chart and rated capacity limiter (RCL)
program must be selected for the current outrigger
configuration.
