RAISING THE MPS 350:

  

 
The MPS 350 must be raised to an Up (Traveling) Position using the Winch. 

 

 

!

 

DANGER:

 

Do not operate the MPS 350 near overhead power lines.  If the MPS 350 comes 

into contact or close proximity with a power line or there is arcing, 

STAY

 in the truck cab.  Keep 

away from any metal parts on the MPS 350.  Do not let anyone get close to the truck.  Do not 
attempt to jump from the truck.  The Power Company must disconnect the power before you 
can leave the cab.  

 

Know the overhead clearance of overhead obstructions.  Never drive the MPS 350 under any 
overhead obstruction without knowing the clearance height.  Failure to follow this warning 
could cause damage to the MPS 350 and may result in serious personal injury or death. 

 

 

!

 

WARNING:

 

Ensure that no one is near, under or behind the MPS 350 when in operation. 

Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death to the operator and/or 
bystanders. 

 

 

!

 

WARNING:

 

Failure to ensure proper function of the Limit Switch may result in failure of the 

Winch. 

 

 

Step 

Actions 

Push and hold the Controller Switch's UP button until the Latch Bar Arms drop into place. (See 
Figure 26.0 Below) As the Frame Assembly approaches the Up (Traveling) Position, a pair of 
Coil Springs located on the Bracket Assembly will contact a Frame Crossmember on the Frame 
Assembly.  The Frame Assembly will compress the Springs until the Latch Bar Arms drop into 
place. The Limit Switch should stop the upward motion of the Frame Assembly prior to the 
Frame Assembly bottoming out against the tubes that contain the Springs.

Note: 

If the Limit Switch fails to contact the Frame Crossmember on the frame in a way 
that activates the switch, it may be necessary to add a piece of thin shim material to 
the side of the Frame Crossmember to fill the resulting gap.
