  • If the stabiliser is fully folded and retracted, but the microswitch indicates that the foot is on the ground, check and if necessary adjust the microswitch on the stabiliser housing.
  • If the microswitch is correctly adjusted but still gives incorrect readings then replace the microswitch.
  • Check that the magnet located on the side of the stabiliser extension near the foot end is in place
  • Check that the stabiliser counts in and out correctly by looking at the LCD screen during operation of the stabiliser. During retraction the counter should reach zero mm by the end of the magnetic strip. During extension the counter will only start when the first magnet of the magnetic strip is reached
  • Go to VIEW SENSOR VALUES then FRONT or REAR STABILISER EXTENSION SENSORS. With the stabiliser extension fully retracted the values displayed should show the values below
