of the secondary boom and gravity.
How to Calibrate the Secondary
Boom Angle Sensor

boom angle sensor has been removed or replaced,
the secondary boom angle sensor will need to be
calibrated first.

the axles extended.
Note: A digital level will be required to perform this
procedure.

Support (Genie part number 58351). This kit
includes a digital level with a magnetic base and
cable harnesses.
