10 Special equipment
The parts and functions described in this
chapter are special equipment and differ from
standard equipment. This description of spe-
cial functions supplements the operating in-
structions. Chapters 1 to 9 of the operating
instructions remain valid even if special
equipment is installed.
10.1 4-point outrigger with enlarged sta-
bilizer plates
The loading machine can be fitted with en-
larged stabilizer plates as an option. This
reduces the resultant surface pressure on
outrigger surfaces such that handling work
can be undertaken safely on surfaces with
critical loads and without any follow-on dam-
age.
Due to the larger dimensions of the outrig-
gers, the uppercarriage cannot be freely ro-
tated when the outrigger is fully retracted. A
function which deactivates the outriggers in a
safe position when retracted reduces the risk
of collision. This can be bypassed on the
multifunction display if necessary.
There is an inductive proximity switch (initia-
tor) on each leg bearing for the "Outrigger
retracted" stroke-limited position. The ma-
chine control unit stops further movement for
every single leg bearing as soon as the prox-
imity switch in question does not detect any
metal.
