Testing the Actuator
See Figure 4-22 for the following procedure.
1. Using the remote control, test the pinions (1) while not in
mesh with the rack teeth (2) to confirm that the pinions
function properly.
2. Slowly pull the actuator forward with the assist crane
until the pinions contact the rack teeth.
3. With the actuator still attached to the assist crane, relax
the rigging just enough to ensure that the majority of the
actuator weight is supported by the rotating bed. If the
foundation is not level, the rigging may need to maintain
some tension in order to hold the actuator in position.
4. With the actuator still attached to the assist crane, slowly
activate the drive pinions with the remote control. Watch
each side to ensure the teeth are meshing properly. Stop
at the point where the first rack tooth is in full mesh with
the pinion.
