Optional Limit Switch
and Proximity Switch
An optional limit switch is also
available to warn the operator that the
tailgate is fully open. This limit switch is
located next to the left-hand side
tailgate hinge. When the tailgate
reaches its fully open position, the
optional fully open switch will trigger a
red light on the console.
A proximity switch may instead be
used to trigger the backup alarm and
warning buzzer in the cab (Tailgate
unlocked).
Note:The location and the
procedure to adjust the
proximity switch may differ
from the standard limit switch.
The proximity switch will be located
behind the left-hand side tailgate
locking mechanism. This proximity
switch requires no other maintenance
than checking the distance between
the metal target and the face of the
proximity switch. The proximity switch
must be tighten at 3/16” of an inch from
the metal plate (Figure 140. “Proximity
switch side-view” & Figure 141.
“Proximity switch front-view”).
