Body Control
This body control lever operates the body hoist cylinders. The three
operating positions of the lever are -
Raise - Pulling the lever back and holding in this position will raise the
body. When released, the lever will spring back to the neutral position.
Neutral - If the body is above the body proximity switch, the lever in this
position will stop and hold the body at any desired height. If the body is
below the proximity switch, the MCU defaults the main hydraulic valve to
the float position. The body should be fully lowered and in the neutral
position while the machine is in motion. The lever will remain in the
neutral position when released.
Power Down - Pushing the lever forward provides hydraulic force to
power down the body. Pushing the lever fully forward will engage the
electric detent. When the body reaches the proximity switch, the lever
springs back to the 'neutral' position and power down is ramped back to
allow a smooth transition to the float position.
NOTICE: The body must remain lowered with lever in the 'neutral' posi-
tion until it is necessary to operate the body again. Failure to comply to
this could result in overheating the hydraulic oil and failure of the
hydraulic system components.
