210 General Maintenance
To adjust the tailgate unlocked proximity switch:
1. Loosen the nuts on each side of the proximity switch bracket (see Figure 3-305).

2. Adjust the proximity switch so that the switch can be triggered by the cylinder casing as the
cylinder head moves upward. There should be a gap of approximately 3/16 inch between the
cylinder casing and the switch.
3. Retighten both nuts.
4. Open the tailgate using the TAILGATE UP switch on the in-cab control panel and listen if the
warning buzzer and backup alarm start sounding after you press the switch.
5. Repeat the procedure if need be.
NOTE: On full ICC bumper-equipped co-mingle units, always open the tailgate to which the full ICC
bumper is attached before raising the body. This is to avoid the bumper coming into contact
with the ground. For example, if the ICC bumper is installed on the right-hand side tailgate,
fully open this tailgate before opening the other one.
Adjusting Tailgate Fully Open Proximity Switch (optional)
The tailgate fully open proximity switch (see Figure 3-306) allows the operator to raise the body
when the tailgate is fully open.
This switch is present only when required by different interlocks such as the single ICC bumper
interlock for dual tailgates.
Caution!
If your co-mingle truck is equipped with a full ICC bumper, always respect the tailgate
opening sequence before raising the body. Failure to do so will result in equipment
damage.
