SAFETY RULES
Outrigger Safety
Tip-over Hazards
Do not lower the outriggers unless the machine is
on a firm surface. Avoid drop-offs, holes, unstable
or slippery surfaces and other possible hazardous
conditions.
When the auto level function is not being used and
the outriggers are being lowered individually, the
steer-end outriggers must be lowered first.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is
level. Do not set the machine up on a surface
where it cannot be leveled using only the
outriggers.
Do not raise the platform unless all four outriggers
are properly lowered, the footpads are in firm
contact with the ground and the machine is level.
Do not adjust the outriggers while the platform is
raised.
Do not drive while the outriggers are lowered.
