Test the Limit Switches

Drive Limit Switches
Detecting limit switch malfunctions is essential to
safe machine operation. The drive limit switches
are used to restrict drive speed when the boom is
raised or extended. An improperly functioning drive
limit switch will allow the machine to operate in an
unsafe position.
1 Remove the cover from the rear of the turntable
to access the drive limit switch.
2 Visually inspect the boom up drive limit switch
mounted to the turntable riser at the pivot end
of the boom. Inspect for the following:
· Broken or missing roller or arm
· Missing fasteners
· Loose wiring
