Steps 5.a through 5.c will be repeated ten times.
Loaded Bucket "Continuous Lift"In Step 6, VIMS/LPS collects bucket pressures samples over the full lift in order to calculate the loaded bucket lifting calibration curve.
The operator is instructed to lower the bucket fully to the ground:
Illustration 47 g00512570
The operator is then instructed to tilt the bucket back fully:
Illustration 48 g00512566
Next, the operator is instructed to lift the load. Then pull back the lift lever fully until the "STOP LIFTING" message appears. The load lift is repeated in order to ensure consistency. The process is listed here:
Illustration 49 g00512606
Maintain engine RPM at high idle. Lift the load smoothly. The operator is then instructed to pull back the lift lever fully.
Illustration 50 g00512573
Stop lifting when the "STOP LIFTING" message appears. Note: Stop BEFORE the lift arm hits the physical stops.

Repeat Step 6.a through Step 6.e until the following message is displayed.

Velocity Compensation "5 lifts" In Step 7, the lifting velocity compensation calibration curve is calculated. The operator is instructed to perform five additional loaded lifts. The loaded lifts are performed at the following engine speeds: 1650 RPM, 1550 RPM, 1450 RPM, 1350 RPM and 1250 RPM. Again, throttle lock may be used to set the engine speed.
The operator is instructed to lower the bucket fully to the ground:

Next, the operator is instructed to lift the load. The operator is then instructed to pull the lift lever fully until the "STOP LIFTING" message appears. In order to ensure consistency, the loaded lift is repeated. The process is listed here:
Illustration 54 g00512608
Maintain the engine RPM at the specified value. lift the load smoothly. The operator is then instructed to pull back the lift lever fully.
Illustration 55 g00512609
Stop lifting when the "STOP LIFTING" message appears.Note: Stop BEFORE the lift arm hits the physical stops.
Illustration 56 g00512576
Repeat Step 7.a through Step 7.d until the following message is displayed.
Illustration 57 g00512577
Repeat Step 7. Using the five previously stated engine speeds.The following message will be shown on the message center after completing the five loaded lifts.
Illustration 58 g00512610
The calibration is now complete. The previous calibration has been replaced. The carryback weight is set to zero. The date/time stamps under the "Check Calibration Info" function are all set to the present time. The VIMS/LPS calibration sub-menu is displayed on the message center. Recalibration should not be required for 6 to 12 months. Recalibration is required when one of the following events occurs:
Replacement of the VIMS main module
A position sensor is adjusted.
A position sensor is replaced.
A lift cylinder pressure sensor is replaced.
Replacement of the bucket
Replacement of the lift arms
