Tilt vs. Allowed Height Evaluation
First, find a level surface (not just flat like a parking lot;
must be level). The surface should be a plane in which
the wheels are within 0
°±0.2°. Find this surface by tak-
ing a digital level and measuring the areas on which the
wheels would rest in both the X and Y directions. Mark
the locations and drive the machine to these points. If a
level surface can not be found, flat shims or plates may
be place under the wheels to create a level plane for the
wheels.
In determining the existing tilt angle, read the angle on
the Analyzer under DIAGNOSTICS/SYSTEM. Do not place
a hand-held level on the machine to determine whether
the machine is level and lifting to the appropriate
height. Such a measurement will likely be different than
the Ground box/tilt sensor angle reading due to manu-
facturing and mounting tolerances. The tilt angle in
both directions should read within
±0.5° while on a level
surface. If not, then either the machine has a drifting tilt
sensor or has been erroneously re-calibrated since the
original factory calibration.
Check the service records to determine whether a re cal-
ibration has been performed. If so, re-calibrate on the
level surface. If there is no record of an earlier calibra-
tion, we must assume that the sensor output has drifted.
Therefore, replace the sensor and return to JLG with a
detailed troubleshooting description.
NOTE: There is a rare case in which an attempted calibra-
tion will be unsuccessful for machines with Ground
module software version P1.5 or earlier. If this occurs
while performing a calibration, the Analyzer will dis-
play:
LEVEL VEHICLE
TILT +20.0 +20.0
and the following fault will also be logged.
TILT SENSOR NOT CALIBRATED (2/3) [DTC 811]
If no other faults have been logged since the last
startup, this fault indicates that the software needs to be
updated to P1.6 or later. Update the software and con-
tinue troubleshooting evaluation before replacing any
components.
If the tilt sensor readings are within range for a level
machine, compare the allowed Tilt vs. Height in the
chart below. Being within 6” of the target height is con-
sidered acceptable.
If the machine does not appear to track the lift cutout
heights and no fault exists as described above, stow the
machine and re calibrate the Elevation Sensor.
