Answer options:

  • The engine will not start if the boom is not fully retracted.
  • The boom functions are disabled if the operator is not wearing a seatbelt. ✅ The boom cannot extend beyond a safe angle if the stabilizers are not fully deployed.
  • The boom lift speed is reduced if the machine's travel speed exceeds a certain limit.

Correct answer: The boom cannot extend beyond a safe angle if the stabilizers are not fully deployed.
