SECTION 4 - BOOM & PLATFORM
‘STEP 2: CALIBRATING THE PLATFORM LEVEL
SENSORS (FOR PLATFORM SOFTWARE PRIOR TO
VERSION P3.4)
1. Putmachine into "Ground Mode’,
2. Start machine and plug in Analyzer.
3. Manually level the platform with the switch on the
MTB,
Goto the “Access Level 2" screen.
Enter “38271” to get into Access Level 1 mode.
Goto the “Calibrations” menu and hit ENTER.
Use RIGHT ARROW go to “Plat, Leveling” screen.
Hit ENTER, “Calibrate?” prompt should appear.
Hit ENTER again to calibrate le
When calibration has been successful “Cal. Com-
plete” should appear.
11. Cycle power to the machine.
STEP 3: BLEEDING THE PLATFORM VALVES
‘Start up the machine and exercise the following platform
functions (from the ground) eight (8) to ten (10) times for 5
seconds in each direction.
Basket Rotate
Basket Level
Jib U/D (f configured)
STEP 4: CALIBRATING THE PLATFORM LEVEL UP
AND DOWN VALVE CRACKPOINTS.
NOTE: Since the valve position which allows minimum oi!
flow (crackpoint) is dependent on the oil pressure
verify the proper stand-by pressure as outiined in
Section 5.3 prior to setting the crackpoints.
Put machine into "Ground Mode"
‘Start machine and plug in Analyzer.
Go to the “Access Level 2" screen,
Enter "$3271" to get into Access Level 1 mode.
Go to the “Calibrations” menu and hit ENTER.
Goto the “Basket U Crkpt” Screen. Hit ENTER.
“Calbrate?" prompt should appear. Hit ENTER
again.

You will hear engine go to 1800 rpm.
Using UP ARROW, increase the value until you see
the basket up movement. (Typically rom 275 - 425)
Hit ENTER again. “Cal. Complete” message should
appear
Engine should again return to idle.
Hit ESC should return to “Basket U Crkpt” screen,
Hit RIGHT ARROW to get to the “Basket D Crkpt”
screen, Hit ENTER.
“Calibrate?” prompt should appear. Hit ENTER
again.
You will hear engine go to 1800 rpm.
Using UP ARROW, increase the value until you see
the basket down movement. (Typically from 275 —
425)
Hit ENTER again. “Cal. Complete" message should
appear.
Engine should again return to idle.
Hit ESC to exit
Cycle power to the machine.
The preceding stops will provide acceptable crack-
point setings for the majority of machines. However,
if the operator can feel small jolts in the platform
from the valve opening during a leveling operation,
the crackpoint is likely too high for this machine. A
high crackpoint may also lead to "overleveling’
causing the platform to drift beyond the set point. An
‘example of this would bbe the platform titing too far
backwards during a LiR Up operation. Therefore,
Use the following guidelines to evaluate whether fur
ther crackpoint adjustment is required,
‘a, Telescope the machine haltway.
. Perform Lift Up. If the basket leans backward
(over compensates), the Level Down crackpoint
Is too high. I the basket leans forward or a BAS-
KET LEVELING SYSTEM TIMEOUT fault occurs,
the Level Down ctackpoint is too low.
. Perform Lift Down. If the basket leans forward
(over compensates), the Level Up crackpoint is,
{00 high. if the basket leans backwards or the
Tilt Cutout Alarm comes on, the Level Up crack-
point is too low.
