Note
Each outrigger pad must be in firm contact with the
ground for most aerial platform functions to work.
Note
Drive functions are disabled if the outriggers are
in any position other than fully retracted.
Warning
If alarm sounds during operation, the aerial platform
is not level or an outrigger does not have firm
ground contact. Lower the platform immediately!
Make the necessary adjustments to level the aerial
platform.
2.5-11b Extending the Outriggers
1. Ensure the emergency stop button is pulled out.
Select “PLATFORM” from the BASE/OFF/
PLATFORM select key switch. Select the “LIFT”
position with LIFT/OFF/DRIVE select toggle switch.
2. Check that the platform is fully lowered. The outrigger
controls are not functional when the platform is
raised.
3. Select the “UP” or “DOWN“ position with the
outrigger toggle switch in order to provide power
to the outrigger circuit.
4a. Auto Level: While holding the outrigger enable
toggle switch, activate the auto-level toggle switch
in the “DOWN” position until the the auto-level
indicator light stops flashing and remains on in a
solid state. The aerial platform should be
completely supported by the outriggers and level
at this point.
2.5-11 Hydraulic Outriggers (If Equipped)
These devices are mounted to the four corners of the base.
When properly positioned, they increase the stability of
the aerial platform.
2.5-11a Before Operation
1. Move around the aerial platform to check
overhead clearances and ground obstructions.
2. Check that the platform is fully lowered. The outrigger
controls are not functional when the platform is
raised.
3. Check that the supporting surface under the tires
and outrigger pads is level, firm and capable of
supporting aerial platform and rated load. DO NOT
place outrigger pad on a street drain, manhole cover
or other unsupported surface.
4b. Manual Level: While holding the outrigger enable
toggle switch, extend each outrigger using the
individual outrigger toggle switches until the platform
is fully supported by the outriggers and is level. The
indicator light will flash while the platform is being
leveled, the light will remain solid once the platform
is level. The indicator light has the following states:
OFF: The outriggers are fully retracted.
FLASHING RAPIDLY: The outriggers are
extending but the platform is not level.
FLASHING: The outriggers are extended but
the platform is not yet level.
SOLID: The outriggers are extended and the
platform is level.
6. Check that each outrigger pad is in firm contact
with a suitable supporting surface! Make
adjustments if necessary using the independent
outrigger controls.
7. Operate all (non drive) functions as described in
their respective sections.
