Verify that boom down limit switches operate correctly.

Down limit switches are actuated when the boom is in a fully lowered, stowed position. Limit switches must be operational to raise or lower outriggers.

If outrigger controls are unresponsive when boom is fully lowered and stowed, inspect down limit switches for loose mounting or visible damage.

Repair or replace as needed.

Verify that outrigger safety interlocks operate correctly.

Begin with the outriggers fully extended and the boom lift level. Raise one outrigger until the footpad is not in contact with the ground.

Verify that boom functions are unresponsive when one outrigger is raised.

Repeat this procedure for each outrigger.

Raise all outriggers until the footpads are not in contact with the ground. Verify that all outrigger status

LEDs on the ground control panel are unlit.

Lower one outrigger until the footpad makes contact with the ground and the outrigger begins lifting the trailer.

If the LED is lit before the footpad makes contact with the ground or if the LED remains unlit after the weight is transferred to the outrigger, the position switch or wiring is faulty.

Repeat this procedure for each outrigger.

Repair or replace as needed. Refer to Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Outrigger Position Switches

Inspect hydraulic system and fluid levels.

Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and damage. Tighten or replace as necessary to prevent hydraulic oil or pressure loss.

The hydraulic oil level should be checked with the booms down, all outriggers raised and the trailer wheels on a level surface.

Hydraulic oil level should be visible in, but not above, the sight gauge.

If the hydraulic oil level is not visible to at least half way up the sight gauge (Figure 4-2), add clean hydraulic fluid as necessary while all booms and outriggers are fully retracted and stowed. Pour slowly to avoid creating air pockets in the reservoir. Do not fill above sight gauge. Overfilling the hydraulic reservoir may cause damage to hydraulic lines and may result in equipment malfunction.

CAUTION

Do not mix hydraulic oils. Do not add any fluid to the hydraulic system that is not expressly recommended by the manufacturer. Adding unauthorized fluids to the hydraulic system may cause damage to equipment

The hydraulic reservoir is originally filled with Dexron

III/Mercon ATF with a viscosity rating of 175.
