ETTINGS AND EQUENCE The AB62 uses a Digital Multiplex Receiver (DMR-30) system manufactured by OEM to control the pro- portionality of boom functions. There is a transmitter (DMT-30) in the upper control box that takes the operator’s control inputs and relays them to the receiver, via data link (two wires). The Optimizer can be plugged into the upper control box, with the use of an adapter (part #100329-005), or directly to the DMR-30 in the lower control box on port P-8.
YDRAULIC ROUBLESHOOTING The AB62 has three independent hydraulic systems: one for drive; one for high flow lift functions; and one for low flow lift functions. The drive system uses an electrically controlled, variable displacement piston pump that powers four piston type wheel motors. The high flow system uses a gear type pump to power riser up/down, boom extend/retract, and steer functions.
