STARTUP PROCEDURES
VERIFY THE AUTOBOOM HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. Turn on the machine.
2. Double-check all fitting and hose connections to ensure that:
•
Hoses are not rubbing on or interfering with moving parts.
•
Hydraulic fluid is not leaking from the system.
3. Press and hold the UltraGlide XT manual control buttons to purge air out of the XT cylinders and hoses.
NOTE: Air must be purged from the system before performing the system calibration. If air pockets are
present, the booms may not move consistently. Air is introduced into the hydraulic system during the
AutoBoom system installation, whenever the hydraulic system is purged for maintenance, or when
fittings are loosened or disconnected.
VERIFY THE ULTRAGLIDE XT WIRING
1. Navigate to the AutoBoom Diagnostics page that contains the manual boom control functions.
2. Press the button to manually rotate the boom clockwise via the UltraGlide XT system, verifying that the boom
rotates clockwise as viewed from behind the machine.
WARNING
When starting the machine for the first time after
installing UltraGlide XT, be sure that all persons
stand clear in case a hose has not been properly
tightened.
WARNING
Do not use hands to check for leaks. Hydraulic
fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury or death.
