Exit the cab of the machine and manually push either boom tip near
to the ground for a moment and then let go.

CAUTION: BE SURE TO NOT WALK NEAR THE SENSORS
WHEN APPROACHING THE BOOM. STAY AT LEAST 3
FEET FROM THE SENSOR IN ORDER TO NOT INDUCE
MEASUREMENT ERROR.

Push either boom tip such that the tip moves at least 15 inches (more
if you can).
