Deploying the Tilt and Extend Leg Stabilisers
- Tilt the stabiliser legs outwards as far as possible dependent on the space available.
- If timber dunnage is required then place it on the ground where the foot will make contact with it.
- Extend the stabiliser down until the stabiliser foot just makes contact with the dunnage or the ground. Do not load the stabiliser so that the Sidelifter chassis lifts up, only contact is required.
Retracting the Tilt and Extend Leg Stabilisers
- Ensure that you have completed your container lift and the container is secure on the ground, Sidelifter or companion vehicle.
- Ensure chains and crane arms are stowed securely.
- Retract the stabiliser leg.
- Tilt the stabiliser legs inwards to their stowed position.
- Remove any timber dunnage if it was used.
