Risk of accidents if outrigger beams cannot be seen!
Cordon off the area where you intend to extend and retract the outrigger beams.
Nobody is allowed to be in this area.
Observe the moving outrigger beams or have them observed by a banksman
who is in visual contact with you.
G
Danger of overturning if improperly supported!
Always extend all outrigger beams to the required outrigger span required for the
specified rigging mode, even if you are only working on one side. Otherwise the
rear stability for the rigging mode according to the displayed rigging mode is no
longer guaranteed.
S
Risk of damage to the outriggers!
Before extending the outrigger beams, always check whether they have been
released. This prevents damage to the locking bars.
S
Risk of damage to driver's cab!
Always bring the outrigger pads to the driving position before retracting the
outrigger beams.
This prevents the outrigger pads damaging the driver's cab when the outrigger
beams are retracted.
