6.5 CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
This machine incorporates a variety of sensors and a high
degree of function interaction. For safety and proper machine
functionality, the calibration procedures must be repeated for
any control module replacement, system calibration related
fault, or removal or replacement of any sensors, valves, coils,
motors, or pumps. The chart below lists the calibrations
required and potential reasons for re-calibration. All calibra-
tion procedures are menu driven through the use of the stan-
dard analyzer. With the exception of steering calibration, no
external tools are required to complete the calibration proce-
dures. The user is prompted to exercise the machine in a spe-
cific order to use the machines physical proper ties to
consistently establish sensor response and the interaction of
valves, pumps, and motors. Steering calibration also uses the
analyzer and is performed on one side of the machine at a
time requiring the use of a string or other means to determine
when the tires are in line with each other. With the exception
of the load control calibration, all calibrations are accessed by
connecting the analyzer into the control system inside the
main terminal box or on the bottom of the platform control
box.
