Inclinometer adjustment
The inclinometer (see figure aside) does not require any
adjustment since it is calibrated in the factory before the
machine is delivered.
This device controls the chassis inclination and when inclined
over the allowed value:
-
it inhibits lifting;
-
it disables drive when platform exceeds a given height
(varying according to model);
-
it warns the operator of the instability condition by means
of an audible warning device and a warning light located
on the platform (see “General use instructions”).
Adjustment is required only if the device is to be replaced.
The inclinometer checks the inclination with respect to the two
axes (X; Y). On machine models with the same transversal and
longitudinal inclination limits, the control is carried out with
reference to one axis only (X-axis).
To check the inclinometer operation according to the
longitudinal axis (generally X-axis):
-
Using the controls of the control panel set the machine so as to place a shim of dimension (
A+10 mm
) under the two rear
or front wheels (see following table);
-
Wait three seconds (intervention delay set at factory) until the danger red light and the audible platform device turn on;
-
With lowered platform all movements are still possible;
-
By lifting the platform, the machine control system stops the lifting and drive controls.
To adjust the inclinometer according to the transversal axis (normally Y-axis):
-
Using the controls of the control panel set the machine so as to place a shim of dimension (
B+10 mm
) under the two
side right or left wheels (see following table);
-
Wait three seconds (intervention delay set at factory) until the danger red light and the audible platform device turn on;
-
With lowered platform all movements are still possible;
-
By lifting the platform, the machine control system stops the lifting and drive controls.
CAUTION! Usually the inclinometer does need to be adjusted. The equipment necessary for the
replacement and adjustment of this component is such that these operations should be carried out by
skilled personnel.
