How much power should my outriggers on a 28m Putz have? Inorder to lift the wheels I have to realt work at it side to side. Is there a pressure adjustment or is the pump getting weak?

E Mail me your Serial Number, I can check it out and let you know.

There are 2 settings at the hand valves on each side. One for chain and Slewing and One for foot Jacking

Is your boom running OK ?

Yes the boom seems to be functioning fine . But the outriggers seem weak. I can get it to lift the tires off the ground but it's gotta be revved right up and i have to work it from side to side one inch at a time. I'll email you the serial number later.

I just seem to recall it being much stronger. I could be wrong though.

Regulator at the hand valve maybe. Or holding valve sticking.

Is this happening with the boom folded up, or unfolded, or it doesn't matter ?

I've only tried with the boom folded up. Today we played with the pressure relief valves on the hand valves on each side and it seems much better. I turned the relief screw in about 2 turns and it made a substantial difference
