(provide) level stable/steady footings or base
The outriggers are basically stabilisers to help make the crane footing more stable and secure so whenever a crane is being set up it is really important the footing is sound=stable/solid/secure/steady and can be relied on, otherwise the crane can collapse and cause death

2.SET-UP STABILITY:
› Are outriggers (if needed) fully extended and used on
firm footings?
› Are the outriggers used to level the machine correctly?

in other words, the only way to ensure you have a level crane is to make sure the footing is level and stable (e.g.outriggers won't sink into soft soil )

Just to be clear, there are several footings so of course these are plural. The footingS ARE stable...

"Level" here means "not sloping up or down".
