3.21 TILT ALARM SWITCH
PERFORM TILT ALARM SWITCH LEVELING PROCEDURE A MINIMUM OF EVERY
SIX MONTHS TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF SWITCH.
Manual Adjustment.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Ensure machine
is level and tires are filled to rated pressure.
NOTE: Ensure switch mounting bracket is level and securely
attached.
2. Level the base of the indicator by tightening the three
flange nuts through approximately one quarter of its
spring travel. DO NOT ADJUST THE "X" NUT DURING THE
REMAINDER OF THE PROCEDURE.
3. With the electrical connections complete, using bubble
level on top of indicator, slowly tighten or loosen the
three flange nuts until indicator is level.
4. Individually push down on one corner at a time; there
should be enough travel to cause the switch to trip. If
the switch does not trip in all three tests, the flange nuts
have been tightened too far. Loosen the "X" nut and
repeat steps (2) through (4) LIMIT SWITCHES ADJUST-
MENTS.
