3-18 Operation K1000896E Operation and Maintenance Manual
To raise boom to maximum height, past preset
height, hold boom and bucket lever in "Raise" or
"Hold Raise" position until boom has reached
maximum height. Then remove your hand from
lever. Lever will automatically return to
"NEUTRAL" position. This prevents hydraulic
pump from working against relief valve
(maximum pressure).
BUCKET ANGLE
INDICATOR
Upper right side of bucket includes a bracket
that indicates angle of bottom of bucket. Top of
bracket is parallel with bottom of bucket. If
bottom of bucket is not visible, top of bracket will
be visible.
IMPORTANT
Trip plate (1, Figure 41) must always be
set to contact limit switch (2) before boom
cylinders reach maximum extension.
Maximum extension causes pump to force
fluid over relief valve.
