SECTION 3. CHASSIS & SCISSOR ARMS
3.1 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
Leveling Jacks
The machine may be equipped with auto leveling jacks.
These leveling jacks are operated through one switch
unlike the traditional four switch system. The leveling
jacks are operated by a bang bang valve.
NOTE: The engine speed will drop when the leveling jacks
are in contact with the ground.
1. Activate the leveling jack button located on the plat-
form control box.
2. Extend the jacks by moving the joystick forward.
NOTE: Once all four jacks make contact with the ground the
system will go from set mode into level mode. At this
point the engine will return to idle.
3. The tilt indicator will go out once the machine is
level.
NOTE: If the machine is not level it will not lift. If you hit the
end of stroke on any of the cylinders you cannot lift
the machine.
NOTE: There is a limit switch on each cylinder that senses
when the cylinder is fully retracted when all four are
fully retracted, the stowed light in the platform control
box will light.
If you receive a 2/5 flash code through the system
fault light at the platform control station the machine
is unable to level. You must reposition and try again.
The jacks are operational (extend or retract) if the machine
is in the stowed position. The proximity sensor and rotary
sensor together must sense that the machine is stowed. A
failure of either sensor will prevent the jacks from being
activated.
Power Deck
The power deck is operated through a non proportional
valve. This will not effect any other function when acti-
vated.
BE SURE AND RETRACT ANY POWER DECK BEFORE LOWERING
MACHINE.
Generator
When the generator switch is activated the engine RPM
will speed up to 2000 RPM for a 60 Hz generator or 1700
RPM for a 50 Hz generator.
When a function is selected for operation, which requires
a higher engine speed than the generator, the generator
will automatically shut off during the operation of the func-
tion. Once the function has stopped, the generator will be
active again.
Lift
There is a flow control valve which controls both the lift up
and lift down speeds.
Anytime you abruptly change lift directions, there is a
three second delay between lift up and lift down.
Drive
If driving at high drive up a grade and you hit an 8° incline,
the drive function will cut back to mid drive speed. The
drive pump will shift back into high drive once the incline
decreases to 5°. There will be a 2 second delay before the
machine goes back into high drive.
