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.

Battery Safety

Burn Hazards

Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective clothing and eye wear when working with batteries.

Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

Explosion Hazard

Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit explosive gas.

Electrocution Hazard

Avoid contact with electrical terminals.
