With the truck engine idling check the setting of the by-pass valve by checking to see that the 

container locks are opening and closing without a delay and that the hook arm is moving front 

and back. If the locks or hook arm (as well as any of accessories) are not moving, close the by

-pass valve to increase flow to the hydraulic actuators. The standard factory setting of the by-

pass valve is half open. The adjustment range of the valve is 4 - 10 gal/min. 

The safety functions of the hooklift are the following: 

 

 

The hydraulic body locks must not open while tipping up (lift up only about 2 ft). 

 

The hydraulic body locks must not close when middle frame is up and rear frame is 

down. 

 

The hook arm does not move back or front when the hydraulic body locks are closed.  

NOTE: Hook arm can be moved front if the function ”Sliding While Tipping” is set on. If 

also movement back is allowed, then check the operation of the ultrasonic sensors. 

 

End damping/floating function will start about 8” - 12” before the middle frame is down. 

 

The warning buzzer sounds during all hydraulic movements. 

 

Accessories: 

 

 

When the hydraulic or manual front locks are closed, the main cylinders don’t move out 

and the hook arm does not move rear or front. 

 

Tipping is not allowed if while the “Crane body on” sensor is active. 

 

The main cylinders protection circuit is limiting the operation pressure of main cylinder 

out movement to 1600 psi after middle frame is lifted up over 20º angle.  

 

When the adjustable under run bar is out, the main cylinders don’t move out.  

NOTE: If the hydraulic or electric operated under run bar is set to automatic or semi-

automatic function, then the under run bar moves in when the main cylinders are moved 

out.  

 

The fast speed tipping goes off after tipping angle exceeds 40º. 

 

The automatic lowering will stop if the control lever (joystick) is moved. 

 

When an additional control unit (Crane top seat control or radio controller) is switched on, 

the Cabin controller unit screen will have “ -C2- “ in the display. 

 

Check also the safe operations of other possible accessories. 

 

Check the operation of the hooklift also with a loaded container and known test load. 

 

After the unit has passed the tests fill in the test report and write down any possible notes and 

deviations. 

By-pass valve adjustment: 

-Turn clockwise to reduce the 

speed 

 

--Turn counter clockwise to in-

crease the speed
