Left and Right Tilt Sensor Installation for Patriot/Trident

  1. Identify a mounting location on the boom frame for the tilt sensor assembly which is labeled “RIGHT TILT” for the right boom and “LEFT TILT” for the left boom. The mounting position should be in a location near the boom pivot point and, when installed, the tilt bracket sensor arm should be on the back of the boom.

  2. Loosely install the tilt sensor assembly to the angled boom structure using two provided U-bolts and nuts.

  3. Slide the rod end bracket over the threaded end of the 1” bolt.

  4. Install and tighten the new nut on the threaded end of the 1” bolt.

    Note:  Do not tighten or loosen the existing bolt or nut to which the rod end bracket and new nut are mounted.

  5. Use the provided hardware to install the tilt sensor link to the tilt sensor arm. When the installation is complete the tilt sensor arm should be perpendicular to the tilt sensor bracket.

  6. Attach the other rod end to the rod end bracket with M6 nylock nut.

  7. Tighten all hardware.

  8. Repeat the procedure to install the left boom tilt sensor.

  1. Remove the cover over the factory installed tilt and fold sensors.

  2. Disconnect the factory wire harness connectors.

  3. Connect the Left Tilt position connector to the factory installed Tilt position sensor.

  4. Connect the Left Fold position connector to the factory installed Left Fold position sensor.

  5. Repeat the procedure to connect the right boom tilt and fold sensors.

Note:  Factory installed booms already have the tilt sensors installed and wired to the REMClosed Raven Expansion Module ECUClosed Electronic Control Unit. Complete the following steps only if the boom was installed after the machine left the factory.

  1. Identify the tilt sensor mounting location near the center rack on the left boom.

  2. Mount the tilt sensor housing in the outside holes with the tilt sensor arm pointing in the direction of the length of the boom.

  3. Install the rod end bracket on the sensor bolt in so the rod will be parallel with the sensor arm.

  4. Use the provided hardware to install the tilt sensor link to the tilt sensor arm. When the installation is complete the tilt sensor arm should be perpendicular to the tilt sensor bracket.

  5. Attach the other rod end to the rod end bracket with M6 nylock nut.

  6. Tighten all hardware.

  7. Repeat the procedure to install the right boom tilt sensor.
