6-5-4 Z-Release Cable Adjustment
6-5-4-1 Checking the Release System
1.) Squeeze the Z-release lever and move the operator panel to its highest position. If this is not
possible, perform the necessary steps in Emergency Release Procedure on page 6-11.
2.) Place a small ruler next to the Z-release lever as shown in the Figure 6-4 below.
3.) Gently wiggle the Z-release lever and measure the amount of play in the lever.
4.) If this amount is 3mm or more, there is too much play in the cable. Perform the steps in the section
Z-Release Cable Adjustment on page 6-7 to reduce the amount of play in the cable.
5.) Attempt to lower the operator panel by pushing down on it. The operator panel should not move.
While continuing to push down, slowly squeeze the Z-release lever.
6.) Note the position of the Z-release lever when the operator panel starts to move. It should be 1/4 to
2/3 of the lever’s range of motion. If the operator panel moves without squeezing the Z-release
lever, or if you have to almost fully squeeze the lever before motion is allowed, perform the steps
in section Gas Spring Adjustment on page 6-10.
CAUTION
Before making any adjustments, check the Z-release system to determine what adjustments
need to be made.
