1. Check all lights to be sure each switch and light is functioning properly: clearance and marker lights;
tail lights; directional lights; license plate light; and brake lights.
2. Move the Showmobile at no more than 5 mph while you check the brakes by manually applying the trailer
brakes.
3. Adjust the brakes so that they are functioning properly.
4. If the lights and brakes are functioning properly, the Showmobile is ready for towing.
re-phasing the rooF/canopy motion
After a time, you may have to adjust the roof/canopy motion. You may notice, after the roof/canopy is fully
raised, that when lowering the front and rear have become out of phase with each other (i.e., one end is
moving faster than the other). This out-of-phase condition is most likely to occur within the first 5 to 10 seconds
when you are initially lowering the roof/canopy from the fully raised position.
If you ever feel that the roof/canopy is out of phase when lowering, stop it immediately and follow this
adjustment procedure:
1. Focus your adjustment on the end of the
roof/canopy that is moving faster (the end that
is ahead of the other when lowering). You will
make adjustments to slow this end.
At that end of the Showmobile, locate the
square counterbalance manifold that is
welded to the base of the roof/canopy
hydraulic cylinder. Two hydraulic hoses
connect with this manifold at the base of the
cylinder, just above floor level.
2. There is a cartridge sticking out of the top of
the manifold with an Allen-head set screw and
locknut. While holding the set screw in place,
loosen the locknut. Adjust the set screw in 1/8
turn increments: counterclockwise to slow that
end of the roof/canopy; clockwise to speed up
that end. Hold the set screw in its new position
and retighten the locknut.
3.
move to the front of the stage and raise the
roof/canopy completely until both hydraulic
cylinders bottom out.
Begin to lower the roof/canopy. You should
notice the effects of your adjustment within
the first 5 to 10 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the roof/canopy
has been re-phrased to your satisfaction.
important:
To check your adjustment,
always
raise the roof/canopy completely
after you have made the adjustment.
Then
begin to lower it to view the results.
!
WARNING
canopy may drift
down if screw is
adjusted too far
clockwise.
