(amount of movement from the limit switch arm’s resting position to the position at which the switch actuates – with a “click”) is either 5 or 20 degrees. The Acro-HD has three 5 degree switches. If the arm is moved to the full extent of its travel and you do not hear the limit switch “click”, the switch needs to be adjusted.
Check the flow controls to see that they are adjusted correctly and to the proper specifications. Check for any obstructions to the cylinders such as Manual over- ride button screws or a misplaced tool etc. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND SIGNS DURING THIS PROCESS.
