First Stage Fold Rams
The first stage fold rams have dampers attached
to the back of them. The dampers are linked to an
accumulator located inside the boom centre on the
right hand side.
Third Stage Fold Rams
The third stage fold rams play a dual role and also
behave as dampers to a limited extent. This is due
to the fact that even though the hydraulic control
manifold keeps oil flow locked when the fold
function is not being operated, there is still some
expandability in the hoses. In this way, forward
movement of the third stage is damped.
Rearward movement of the third stage is damped
by a dedicated cylinder with a stopper bolt on the
end for adjustment. This cylinder is connected to
a dedicated accumulator mounted on the boom
centre which controls the damping. The fold link is
also slightly expandable to allow rearward movement
of the third stage independently of the fold ram.
