1. Locate the street side stabilizer control handle (labeled
“SS”). Push the lever down to lower the stabilizer leg on the
street side of the truck. While looking under the rear of the
truck, you will see the street side stabilizer leg lowering to
the ground. When the stabilizer makes solid contact with
the ground, release the control lever.
2. Locate the extension stabilizer lever. Push the extension
lever down to fully extend the curb side stabilizer.
3. Locate the curb side stabilizer control handle (labeled

Keep clear of stabilizer legs during operation. Moving stabilizers can cause
serious crushing injuries. Make certain that all personnel are clear of the stabilizer
and the ground contact point before operating.
Do not raise the rear tires of the truck off the ground with the stabilizers. Conrm that
the stabilizers are positioned on stable, at ground and that the truck is as level as
possible both front to rear and side to side. Use stabilizer pads to ensure the proper distribution of weight.
