Procedure
- Extend or raise the boom to trip the limit switches.
- Individually push down on each of the three fastened corners of the tilt alarm.
- There should be enough travel to cause the alarm to sound as each corner is pressed (approximately three second delay).
- If the alarm does not sound, the flange nuts have been tightened too far; loosen the nut on the 90 degree corner and repeat.
