    Lifting Arms To keep the arm in good working order and to reduce the amount of down time and the risk of accidents, a preventive maintenance program must be implemented and followed thoroughly. Maintenance personnel must be familiar with the operation of the arm, the safety around it and the maintenance procedures described in this chapter.

Controlling the oil flow means controlling the arm/gripper speed.
  • Page 395 Lifting Arms 387 Slowly move the lever on the gripper section of the arm valve (see Figure 10-5) and read the pressure on the pressure gauge at the time the gripper starts closing. The closing movement must begin when the pressure reaches 550 PSI. If the pressure is below or over that value when the gripper starts closing, adjust the holding valve pressure accordingly using the adjustable cartridge (see Figure 10-10).

  • Page 398 390 Lifting Arms Cylinder Cushion Adjustment The tipper and extension cylinders are cushioned at the end of their strokes to give a smoother movement. The cushioning speed is adjustable directly on the cylinders using two adjustment screws. If the gripper or the arm hits hard at the end of its strokes, apply the following procedure. Tipper Cylinder Cushioning Adjustment: Secure the arm working area using barrier tape or barricades.
  • Page 399 Lifting Arms 391 If an adjustment is necessary, stop the hydraulic pump and turn OFF the engine. : To be able to make the necessary adjustment, the temperature of the hydraulic oil must be around 140° F.
