LOAD WEIGHT CALIBRAITON
The weight scale will be visible after service code

had been entered - ???
0629
Before calibrating the Weight scale:

Make sure you have activated the parking brake.
Ignition is on.
Check the current values!
Here you now can see the Calibration Empty Values and Calibration
Loaded Values.
Note: You must write these values down, so you remember them if
something goes wrong during the Weight Scale Calibration!!
How to calibrate the Weight Scale (Empty value):

Make sure that the parking brake is activated.
Start the engine
Start with the Empty bar.
Lift up the Boom to 30degrees (RS), Attachment or Forks half way up

(ECC an FL) with no container on RS and ECC or no load on FL.
Now it should show 0,0t and 0% lift capacity in the display
If its not showing “0,0t” but more or less like the picture below
showing “1,4t”
Since lifting no load (empty) and

therefore it should be showing 0t and
0%. But if it shows like above 1,4t
and 3% lift capacity we need to
calibrate this to 0t and 0% lift
capacity
Now slide the “Empty” bar to the

left if it showing more than 0ton
or slide the “Empty” bar to the
right if it showing negative tons.
How to calibrate the Weight Scale (Loaded value):

Start the engine
Continue with the Loaded bar.
Pick up a load of the maximum capacity for your machine.

Note: In this example maximum capacity is 45ton as for a standard SMV 4531 TC5.
The calibration of the weight scale will be more accurate if you use maximum capacity.
Lift up the Boom to 30degrees (RS), Attachment or Forks half way up (ECC an FL) with the
load.
Now it should show 45,0t and 100% lift capacity in the display
Hard to find correct value?

If you cannot adjust the Empty and Loaded values to your satisfaction,
go back to the Load Weight Calib page.
Calibration Empty Values
Calibration Loaded Values
ACCELERATOR PEDAL CALIBRATION
The accelerator pedal will be visible after
service code had been entered.
Before calibrating the Weight scale:

Make sure you have activated the parking brake.
Ignition is on.
Check the current values!
Record these value!
How to calibrate the accelerator pedal (minimum value):
Ignition on (engine must be shut off!!)
Start with the MIN calibration bar.
The VIN value in the top right corner of the display should be 9 bit.
Accelerator pedal angle should be 0% and engine rpm should be 0 rpm.
How to calibrate the accelerator pedal (maximum value):

Make sure parking brake is activated.
Ignition on. (Engine must be shut off!!).
Look at the MAX calibration bar.
Push the accelerator pedal all the way down!
The VIN value in the top right corner of the display should be 84 bit.
Accelerator pedal angle should show 100 % and Engine rpm should be 0
rpm.
Hard to find correct value?
If you cannot adjust the accelerator pedal values to your satisfaction, go back
to the Engine Setup page. Scroll down to Throttle Min Value and Throttle
Max Value.
Push on Throttle Min Value or Throttle Max Value to activate the settings
bar.
To ensure that you have done it

correctly.
Start the engine
Make sure parking brake is activated
Keep the engine idling.

Check that you have
VIN 9 bit
Accelerator pedal angle 0%
Engine running in 700 rpm
Now push to full throttle

Check that you have
VIN 84 bit
Accelerator pedal angle 100%
Engine is running with 2200 rpm
CALIBRATION – PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Pressure Left liftcylinder

2. Pressure Right liftcylinder
3. Pressure (C-) liftcylinder
Before starting the Calibration: Make sure you have retracted and lowered the boom to
its end position (End stroke).
Inspect so no chrome surface is visible on the lift cylinders.
When Calibrating: Press the joystick forward during the calibration of the pressure
sensors
Set Min Value same as Raw value.

If correct, Actual value = 0Bar.
Max value should never be changed.
Follow this procedure with “Pressure Right liftcyl. [bar] 0-500bar – Boom setup” and
“Pressure (C-liftcyl. [bar] 0-500 – Boom setup”.
CALIBRATION – BOOM ANGLE 1 & 2
Before starting the Calibration: Make sure you have retracted and
lowered the boom to its end position (End stroke).
Inspect so no chrome surface is visible on the lift cylinders.
Start with Min Value calibration – Boom Lowered and retracted to end = Min.
Set Min Value = Raw Value.
If correct, Actual Value = O%
Before going to Max Value calibration– go to boom angle 2 calibration page

to set Min Value.
Stop 0.00
This is a new safety system for our C-Model generation. The Boom angle
sensor has two analog signals that the MD4 is reading.
One signal that goes from 0-100% (Boom Angle) there “Min” is approximately
1550mV and “Max” is approximately 3570mV
Second signal goes from 0-100% (Boom Angle 2) there “Min” is

approximately 3570mV and “Max” is approximately 1550mV
The difference between these two signals may not differ by more than the specified %
because then you will get an error code and the boom movement
will be interrupted by the safety system.
Notice that in “Boom Angle 2” the parameters are mirrored compared to the
parameters in“Boom Angle”, but the procedure is still the same.
“Min” = minimum Boom angle
“Max” = maximum Boom angle
Continue with Max Value calibration:-
Before you change the parameters make sure you have reached maximum boom
angle. (Raise the boom angle to the lift cylinders end stroke)
Set Max Value = Raw Value.

If correct, Actual Value = 10O%
Go out from this page and enter “Boom Angle 2” before you lower the boom.
Set the Max value = Raw value
100
CALIBRATION – BOOM LENGTH 1 & 2
Before starting the Calibration: Make sure you have retracted the boom
to its end position (End stroke).
Start with Min Value calibration – Boom retracted to end = Min.
Set Min Value = Raw Value.
If correct, Actual Value = O%
Before going to Max Value calibration– go to boom angle 2 calibration page to set
Min Value.
Same as boom angle, this is a safety system in the new C model to check the
difference for both signals.
Boom Length 1 = Min” is approximately 760mV and “Max” is approximately 4260mV
Boom Length 2 = Min” is approximately 4260mV and “Max” is approximately 760mV
0.00
Stop 0.00
Continue with Max Value calibration:-
When calibrating Maximum Boom Length you must increase the boom angle to be
able to extend to end stroke of the telescope cylinder to the max.
Set Max Value = Raw Value.

If correct, Actual Value = 10O%
Go out from this page and enter “Boom Length 2” before you lower the boom.
Set the Max value = Raw value
100
To make sure your calibration was successfully executed you must go back to
“Attachment Page”
Here is Maximum Boom Extension 7000mm and Maximum Boom Angle 61.7
degrees.
Ensure when Boom is totally retracted and lowered to its end strokes, that
Boom Extension says 0mm and Boom Angle 0.0 degrees.
RESET SERVICE HOUR COUNTER

After the service has been completed, push and hold in the reset
button for the “Service hour counter” for about 11seconds and
the Service hour counter will be reset to 500h and start counting
down again.
If you don’t want to have 500h as Service time interval but maybe want
250h or 1000h instead you can change that in the Adjust menu as
follows.
SERVICE DUE POP UP MESSAGE

ENABLE DRIVER LOGIN
DRIVER NO.
If the operator changes or the

machine is shut down and
restarted, you need to enter the
operator's login code.
TRANSPORTATION MODE
Servie code “1979”
When the “Transportation mode Is activated you will find “Arrows” in
the left bottom corner of the MD4 display.
You can only have two arrows shown at the same time and to deactivate
the transportation mode, Laden or Unladen, you must follow the arrows
recommendations as below.
The parameters of the boom angle when you want the “Transportation mode”
to activate you can change but not the Boom length.
Driving with a load is controlled by the twistlocks.

As soon as you lock the twistlocks the “Transportation mode” “Laden” is activated.
Boom length Unladen:

Deactivate the “Transportation speed limit” by extending the Boom more than
2,2m and activate the “Transportation speed limit” by retracting less 1,9m.
Boom length Laden:

Activate the “Transportation speed limit” by extending the Boom more than
1,2m and Deactivate the “Transportation speed limit” by retracting less than
1m.
Angle Min Laden: Here you can change when the “transportation mode”
should activate in the minimum boom angle with a load. Minimum range
of boom angle, you can change between 20-29 degrees.
Angle Max Laden: Here you can change when the “transportation
mode” should activate in the maximum boom angle with a load.
Maximum range of boom angle, you can change between 31-60 degrees.
Transportation Speed Limit Unladen: Here you can activate or

deactivate the speed limit when driving without a load.
The speed limit is always 10km/h and not possible to change.
