Adjusting Pressure on 96-Gallon Grippers
The section of the proportional valve that controls the gripper is located on the right-hand side of the
valve, and it is equipped with a built-in relief valve that allows gripper pressure adjustment.
To adjust the 96-gallon gripper built-in relief valve:
1. Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12).
2. Secure the area around the path of the arm with barrier tape or barricades.
3. Move the manual levers back and forth to release any residual pressure.
Danger!
Do not stand directly in the path of the arm while carrying out these adjustments.
