OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES CD5515-2/YB5515-2 OPERATOR MANUAL
3-18 Published 1-20-2017, Control # 468-02
Extending the outriggers
1. Place the Outrigger/Stabilizer selector switches (1,
Figure 3-26) in the outrigger position—push the top of
the switch.
2. Run the engine at idle speed (accelerator pedal
released).
3. Push the top of the Extend/Retract Switch (2).
4. Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine
speed, which will accelerate the outward movement of
the outriggers (Figure 3-25). Release the accelerator
pedal and the switch when the outriggers are fully
extended.
Lowering the Stabilizers
1. Place the Outrigger/Stabilizer selector switches (1,
Figure 3-26) in the stabilizer position—push the bottom
of the switch.
2. Run the engine at idle speed (accelerator pedal
released).
3. Push the top of the Extend/Retract Switch (2).
4. Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine
speed, which will accelerate the downward movement of
the stabilizers (Figure 3-27). Release the accelerator
pedal and the switch when the stabilizers are fully
extended.
NOTE: The outriggers can not be extended or retracted
when they are in the lowered position. Attempting
to do this will cause damage to the outriggers.
Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS)
(Optional—Standard in North America)
The Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS) aids the operator
by using an indicator (1, Figure 3-28) on the control panel
that lights when all outriggers are fully deployed. The OMS
uses four proximity sensors, one per outrigger beam, to
identify when an outrigger beam is fully extended.
Set up of the outriggers is the same for cranes equipped with
OMS; refer to Operating the Outrigger Controls, page 3-17.
The OMS indicator only indicates the fully extended position
of the outrigger beam and should not be used to deploy the
beam.
