Platform Overload System

How to Calibrate the Platform
Overload System
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on
a firm, level surface that is free of obstructions.
Note: Perform this procedure with all weight, tools,
equipment and personnel removed from the
platform.
Note: Perform this procedure after confirming that
the platform height sensor is not damaged and
functions correctly.
Perform this procedure in an environment that
allows the platform to be fully raised. Models rated
for indoor use only, should be calibrated inside a
facility with enough ceiling height to fully raise the
platform. If the facility height is not suitable to fully
raise the platform, then an indoor only rated model
may be calibrated outdoors if wind speeds are less
then 28 mph / 12,5 m/s. Only use flat weights
while calibrating indoor only rated machines
outdoors.
If a new Ground Controller is installed on a
machine, the Full Load Calibration procedure is
required to maintain rated load platform capacity. If
a No Load Calibration is performed, machine lifting
performance will be significantly reduced.
The ambient temperature must be above 32°F /
0°C before calibrating the Platform Overload
System.

There are two options to the platform overload
calibration procedure in this section, Full Load
Calibration and No Load Calibration. Full Load
Calibration has two steps requiring calibration with
and without rated load in the platform. No Load
Calibration does not require rated load in the
platform.
No Load Calibration can be completed stand alone
to fulfill the C-2 overload calibration requirements,
if the machine has completed the Full Load
Calibration procedure.
Note: To calibrate the platform overload system,
follow the menu structure indicated on the ground
control LCD display.
