Operation
Stabilizer blade operation
Injury hazard due to operation of stabilizer blade lever!
Can cause serious injury or death.
• Raising the lock lever does not prevent the stabilizer blade from being lowered.
• Keep out of the danger zone of the stabilizer blade.
Lowering the stabilizer blade too deeply into the ground can create too much
resistance – see Grading on page 3-83.
• Slightly raise the stabilizer blade
Check the position of the stabilizer blade before machine travel.
Changing the width of the stabilizer blade
The machine can be damaged if the telescopic travel gear and the stabilizer
blade are set to different widths (for example when traveling through a door
frame).
• Adjust the stabilizer blade and the telescopic travel gear to the same widths
when operating the machine.
