NOTE: Two people are required to complete this step. One
person standing on the treadles, while the other
person adjusts the encoder.
9a-1: Disconnect the two leads from the hydraulic
cylinder. This will ensure that the hydraulic cylinder
valve should be closed (see Figure A-1).
9a-2: With the treadles in the locked position, pull up
and down on both the right and left treadles (see
Figure A-2).
If the right treadle is loose (moves more than ½")
and the left treadle is solid, this points to loose
hardware. Go to Step 9A-4 in Section A.
If both right and left treadles are loose, then
the problem could be loose hardware or a bad
cylinder.
