80 General Maintenance
If the packer stops before or after reaching the fully extended position, adjust the switch as follows:
To adjust the packer extend proximity switch:
1. Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump.
2. Push the green button on the packer control station to extend the packer about one inch from the
fully extended position.

3. When the packer reaches the correct position, push the red emergency STOP button.
4. Locate the packer extend proximity switch on the front right-hand side body corner (see Figure
3-79).
5. Loosen both bolts (see Figure 3-81) and adjust the proximity switch so that it gets triggered (its
amber light turning on).
Triggering occurs when the plate (target) is detected by the switch.
6. Tighten back up the bolts.
7. Engage the hydraulic pump and check for proper operation.
Make sure that the proximity switch detects the plate properly.
Important
This procedure must be performed by two people.
Danger!
