How to Operate the Bending Leg (SB362 / SB450)

The extension and retraction of the bending leg "ankle" is operated from the remote control. It is essential that the operator follow the instructions below.

Follow these steps to deploy the front and back Bending Leg Stabilisers.

1. Tilt the legs over as far as possible.
2. Switch the remote to Ankle Mode shown by the symbol.
3. Start extending the Ankles by pushing both joysticks directly upward.
4. As the Ankles start to curve round into position, extend the stabiliser extensions by pushing the joysticks at an angle between the extend positions (North West on the left joystick and North East on the right, relative only to the remote itself of course) until the ankles are fully extended and the feet placed on the ground.
5. If necessary, adjust the position further, ensuring that both feet are on a firm, flat surface. Do not load the stabiliser so that the Sidelifter chassis lifts up, only contact is required. If a foot is not at the correct angle, a warning will go off as discussed in the following section.

Retracting the Bending Leg Ankles

1. Set the remote to Ankle mode/.
2. Push the joysticks in to retract the stabiliser housings.
3. When the feet are off the ground, retract the ankles by pushing joystick down, watching for edges that an ankle or foot may get caught on.
4. Once the stabiliser extensions and ankles are fully retracted, switch to Stabiliser mode/ and return the legs to their retracted position.
