Arms and Forks Fully Retracted Proximity Switches
Successful completion of this test ensures that the Arms Not Stowed button on the control panel
turns red when the arms and forks are moved away from their parked position.
For this test, proceed as follows:
1.
Lower the arms and forks.
The Arms Not Stowed button on the control panel should become red.
2.
Fully raise the arms without parking the forks.
The Arms Not Stowed button should still be red.
3.
Park the forks.
The Arms Not Stowed button should no longer be red.
4.
If the Arms Not Stowed button on the control panel is still red, the related proximity switches
(one located on the left-hand side fork, the other on the left side of the arm tube) may need to be
adjusted or replaced. Refer to the
Limit and Proximity Switches section in the Maintenance
Manual
.
Caution!
Check for sufficient clearance above the vehicle before operating both the arms and forks.
