What action can be taken when the stabilizers cannot be fully deployed?

When stabilizers cannot be fully deployed, short jacking the nonoperational side is the appropriate action to ensure stability and safety. This technique allows the operational side to provide adequate support while compensating for the lack of stabilization on the nonoperational side. By short jacking, the center of gravity is kept aligned, and it mitigates the risk of the aerial device becoming unstable or tipping over, which is crucial for maintaining safety during operations.

Other approaches, such as short jacking the operational side, could lead to an imbalance, potentially compromising the stability necessary for safe operations. Sweeping either side typically refers to adjusting the positioning of equipment and is not a substitute for proper stabilization when dealing with deployment issues. In scenarios where stabilizers can't be fully deployed, focusing on the nonoperational side ensures a more secure setup.
