6 - Maintenance Yaw rubber dampers (80’-100’ SPC, 90’/60’ Dual Fold SPC) Inspect basic adjustment of the rubber yaw dampers. The compression of the dampers (C) should result in a distance (E) of 1-3/32” (28 mm). Measure the compression at each rubber damper and adjust with the M12 bolts (A) if necessary.
7 - Fault finding Operational problems General info Operational problems are frequently due to the same reasons: 1. Rusted of dirty hydraulics components cause bad connections and early wear. 2. A badly charged or faulty battery causes failures and misbehavior in the electrical system. Therefore ALWAYS check: 1.
7 - Fault finding Hydraulic system - I.A.H. FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE CONTROL/REMEDY Boom slow/erratic. Air in system. Loosen ram connection and activate hydraulics until oil flow has no air in it (not whitish). Regulation valve incorrectly set. Open or close until desired speed is achieved (clockwise = less speed).
7 - Fault finding Mechanical problems Mechanical problems FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE CONTROL/REMEDY Boom will not fold in or out. Cylinder. Adjust the fold cylinder. Boom will not fold completely. Cables. Check adjustment of center cables. Boom not aligned. Cables. Adjust and grease complete boom cables and stops. Boom will not stay in spraying position.
