OPERATION
PRE-USE INSPECTION
Always park the LaneBlade®
vehicle in a safe and level area
when performing pre-use inspections.
Always support the LaneBlade®
with appropriate jack stands when
performing pre-use inspections.
1.
Before every use, visually inspect the
LaneBlade® looking for damaged, bent,
loose, missing or broken bolts, pins, and
snaps.
2.
Visually inspect LaneBlade® components
and frame for damage, rust, or broken
welds.
3.
Visually ensure all the cylinder and wing
pivot pins are free from damage.
4.
Carefully inspect the LaneBlade® blade
before each use and use the inspection
standards on page 16 to determine if the
blade is due for replacement.
5.
Run the LaneBlade® through its total
movement and look for complete
movement or evidence of hydraulic leaks.
6.
Visually inspect the maul board padding for
damaged, frayed, or missing pieces.
7.
Visually inspect all wiring harnesses for
exposed wires, corrosion, or damaged
insulation, including the cab controller
cable and wiring harness.
8.
Visually inspect hydraulic lines, seals, and
components.
9.
Check the hydraulic fluid level following the
steps listed on page 15. Ensure hydraulic
fluid level is at a proper level.
10.
Check the LaneBlade® camera and monitor
for proper operation, clean lense, and
acceptable field of view using the standards
given on page 16.
11.
As needed, lubricate all moving parts for
ease of operation.
12.
With the LaneBlade® deployed, verify the
LaneBlade® UNSTOWED light illuminates.
13.
With the LaneBlade® stowed, verify the
LaneBlade® UNSTOWED light is
extinguished.
14.
While driving in a safe location over 20mph,
attempt to deploy the LaneBlade®. It
should not deploy while vehicle is traveling
over 20mph.
15.
Any deficiencies must be corrected before
use.
TO DEPLOY THE LANEBLADE®
1.
Turn the ON/OFF switch on the controller
to the ON position. The control keypad will
glow green, indicating the control is on.
The ON/OFF switch can be used as an
emergency stop when required.
2.
Press and hold the “WINGS FWD” button
on the controller until the wings reach their
fully deployed position. A quick double-tap
of the “WINGS FWD” or “WINGS BACK”
buttons will engage that function for 5-6
seconds. The double-tap feature does not
replace the normal operation (press and
hold) of the buttons. It is an added feature
designed to enhance the performance of
the control.
