Telescoping cylinder boom nose switch
A whisker-style trigger switch is installed at the boom nose to
detect the tele cylinder barrel being too close to the boom
nose. This switch is shown as triggered in (Figure 3-71).
When this switch is triggered, the symbol shown in
(Figure 3-72) should appear on the left side of the ODM
display or in the middle of the Emergency Mode screen
(Figure 3-72).
In this triggered condition, the telescoping cylinder is no
longer expected to be able to extend. If the telescoping
emergency program is being used, then it is still possible to
still extend the cylinder (such as when the switch is
malfunctioning or disconnected), but this should only be
done with physical verification of the location of the
telescoping cylinder with respect to the boom nose. If the
telescoping cylinder impacts the boom nose, the boom
system will be damaged.
With the telescoping cylinder not moving, and with the
joystick not being used, then the bypass switch (Figure 3-74)
can be used. The telescoping cylinder will now extend, but
when the telescoping cylinder stops moving, or if the joystick
is no longer used, then the same steps must be repeated to
use the bypass switch.
