, p. 12 - 49.
The illustrations show only the rear right outrigger beam as an exampled,
the procedure is the same for the other outrigger beams.
The procedure is identical for the overall width and associated individual
width.
Outrigger span (100%)
Overall width 8.030 x 7.600 m (26.3 x 24.9 ft)
Individual width 8.030 x 3.800 m (26.3 x 12.5 ft)
(A) – Prerequisite
Pins (1) and (2) must be pulled out
(B) – Setting and securing
• Extend the outrigger beam up to the
marking (3).
• Secure the outrigger beam with the pins (1)
and (2).
For the overall width
• Set the same outrigger span in the same
way at the opposite outrigger beam.

Danger of overturning if the outrigger beams are not correctly extended
Extend the outrigger beams only as far as the permissible spans.
Always extend all outriggers to the outrigger spans specified in the
lifting
capacity table
for the planned application.
Even when 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.
G
Risk of accidents from incorrect or missing markings
Replace missing and illegible markings. First query
Manitowoc Crane Care
for the correct position.
This way you prevent the truck crane overturning due to an incorrect
outrigger span.
