Body Raised Proximity Switch
The body raised proximity switch is center mounted on the curbside chassis frame rail.
Figure 3-33 Body raised proximity switch
The body raised proximity switch is not ACTIVATED when the main seal of the body loses contact
with the chassis. The proximity switch then triggers the
body raised warning message
to appear on the
MDM display screen (see Figure 2-15). Upon returning the body to the seated position, the body
raised proximity switch
is ACTIVATED and the
body raised warning message
is disappeared from the
MDM display screen.
How to Adjust
To adjust the body raised proximity switch :
1.
RAISE the body and position the hoist safety prop. Refer to “Stabilizing A Hoisted Body” in the
Operator’s Manual.
2.
COMPLETE the Lockout/Tagout Procedure (refer to “Lockout/Tagout Procedure” on
page 20).
3.
LOOSEN the proximity switch mounting nuts. Slide the switch forward or backward in the
mount to achieve a gap of approximately ¼” with the target.
4.
TIGHTEN the proximity switch nuts.
5.
START the side loader and switch ON the hydraulic pump.
6.
RETURN the hoist safety prop to the resting position and LOWER the body.
7.
RAISE the body again and CHECK that the body raised warning message appears on the MDM
display screen (see Figure 2-15) and the buzzer sounds as soon as the body is not properly seated
on the chassis.
8.
LOWER the body until contact with the chassis is made. CHECK that the
body raised warning
message disappears and buzzer is silent only when the body is properly seated on the chassis.
9.
TEST and REPEAT steps 1– 4, if necessary.
