Usage:
1. With the machine on level ground, lower the loader bucket flat on the ground and stop the engine.
2. Adjust rod end (3) until pointer (5) on plate (2) aligns with pointer (6) on the lift arm boss on earlier models - with black film (7) on later models.
3. Loosen bolt (4) and position the switch wheel against plate (2) in the area shown. When the switch wheel is completely compressed, the clearance between the switch wheel and plate (2) should be 0.5 to 1.0 mm (.020 to .040 in)
NOTICE |
---|
An incorrect adjustment could damage the switch. |
4. Move the switch in a direction parallel with plate (2) and toward the rear until a "click" is heard. Tighten bolt (4) without moving the switch plate.
5. Remove the pin from rod end (3) and rotate plate (2). The switch should "click" slightly before pointer (5) on the plate aligns with pointer (6) or film (7) on the lift arm boss.
6. Fasten rod end (3) to plate (2) with a pin and clip.
7. Start the engine and rotate the bucket to full rack back position. Raise the lift arms until the bucket starts to rotate to dump. Measure the angle of the bottom of the bucket with a magnetic protractor. The angle of the bucket, when it is starting to dump, should be 55 ± 2° from horizontal.
8. If it is necessary to adjust the bucket angle, remove the clip and pin from rod end (1). For approximately each degree of correction necessary, turn rod end (1)1/4revolution.
9. Fasten rod end (1) to the bellcrank with the pin and clip and repeat Step 7.
10. If the bucket angle is correct, tighten all locknuts.
