Jack Controls
The PT-Series Puller/Tensioner
has three hydraulically actuated
jacks for ease of leveling; two
front jacks- (Right and Left), and a
rear/nose jack. The engine
must be turned on and
running to use the jack
controls. Each jack can be
operated manually from
both inside the cab- through
the console buttons, and
from the outside hydraulic
control
panel and
emergency manual override controls- (See
Exterior Hydraulic Control Panel and Emergency
Manual Override Controls sections)
.
Interior Jack Controls:
To lower the jacks using the inside console
rocker buttons, first ensure that the hydraulic
power engine is on, and then select the
[DEPLOY LT/RT
JACKS] option on the
control panel screen to
enable jacks. Once enabled, views
of the jack cameras will populate
on the screen. Next, press and
hold the assigned button forward.
When the button is released, the
motion will stop. To retract the jack, press and
hold the rocker button backward.
The operator can use the provided bubble
gauges mounted on the cab side of the engine
compartment to determine how level the
machine is. The bubble gauge is easily
viewable from inside the cab, through the
lower front window.
CAUTION: Ensure that all jacks are fully raised and clear
of the ground before attempting to tow trailer.
NOTE: If the jack control buttons are not pushed for
a period of time after enabling the jacks on the
control panel screen, the system will time out, and
the jacks will again be disabled.
