5 Open the bottom bleed screw on the rotator,
but do not remove it.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to
squirt or spray.
6 Move the function enable toggle switch to
either side and hold the platform rotate toggle
switch to the right position until the platform is
fully rotated to the right. Continue holding the
toggle switch until air stops coming out of the
bleed screw. Close the bleed screw.
Crushing hazard. Keep clear of
the platform during rotation.
7 Clean up any hydraulic oil that may have
spilled.
8 Rotate the platform fully in both directions and
inspect the bleed screws for leaks.

Platform Overload System

Proper calibration of the platform overload system
is essential to safe machine operation. Continued
use of an improperly calibrated platform overload
system could result in the system failing to sense
an overloaded platform. The stability of the
machine is compromised, and it could tip over.

Platform Calibration
Perform this procedure when platform overload is
not operating within the calibration parameters.
This procedure will re-calibrate the zero load point
without affecting a previous full load calibration. In
most cases the machine will maintain full load
capacity, however, in some situations the platform
load capacity may be reduced until a full load
calibration has been performed.
Note: Perform this procedure on a firm, level
surface with the machine in the stowed position.
1 Fully retract and lower the boom. Level the
platform.
2 Remove all weight, tools, accessories and
equipment from the platform.
Note: Options and accessories that are considered
integrated components of the platform do not
require removal to perform calibration. Refer to
Integrated Options and Accessories.
Tip-over hazard. Failure to
remove all non-integrated
factory and non-factory options
and accessories could result in
the machine tipping over,
causing death or serious injury.
