Stabilizer arrangement

A stabilizer arrangement for mobile apparatus having a chassis with a functional component movably mounted thereon for movement between a rest position and a use position, comprising a stabilizer member movably mounted with respect to the chassis and having a ground-engaging portion, the stabilizer member being movable between a retracted condition in which the ground-engaging portion does not engage the ground and a deployed condition in which the ground-engaging portion engages the ground, the functional component including a guide slot, and an interlock member including a guide member engaging the guide slot in the retracted condition, the stabilizer member and functional component being mechanically interconnected through the interlock member by the guide member in the guide slot such that, in use, initial functional movement from the rest position of the functional component relative to the chassis causes movement of the stabilizer member from the retracted condition to the deployed condition, wherein the interlock member is pivotally mounted with respect to the chassis, the interlock member also being pivotally connected with respect to the stabilizer member, wherein the interlock member includes a portion that cooperates with the functional component, being movable between a locking position in which only initial functional movement of the functional component is possible and a release position in which further movement of the functional component is possible.
