Bending Leg Safety Warning

SBdanger

Never apply any load to the foot before the Ankle is either fully extended, or fully retracted! This is to prevent serious damage to the construction that will consequently result in an unstable/unsafe operation.

If the ankle is not fully extended and you try to switch out of Ankle mode, an alarm will sound and the warning below will appear on the display screen until you complete the deployment of the ankle.

71 Ankle not extended

If the stabiliser leg is tilted at too shallow an angle, the result is the back joint of the ankle touching the ground as shown in the screen display below. Therefore, if the stabiliser housing is not angled steeply enough, the controls for the Ankle Mode are locked out and attempting to use them will result in the alarm sounding and the warning screen displaying as below.

69 Front stabiliser

SBdanger

Never apply any load to the rear joint of the Ankle. This will damage the construction and consequently result in an unstable/unsafe operation.
