Bought a 2000 Grove AMZ39NE like below photo. Everything works fine except the actual traction. When I hit the forward or reverse lever, the warning beeps start but nothing happens....wheels don't budge an inch.
Never operated one of these before and didn't get a manual with it, so just wondering if there is some "secret" to getting the traction going that I'm not aware of. There is a limit switch for when the boom is down all the way, so I thought maybe that had to be engaged but even when it is, still no go.
Could be something wrong with the machine, but just wondering if anyone knows a secret proceedure on the traction of these things. On a scissors lift for example, you have a switch on the traction lever you must engage first. On some you pull up on the lever before pushing it forward or reverse. But on this machine this is no provision for either of those...just a lever for "go" with rocker button on top for turning. There is a foot pedal to "energize" the whole system of course.
Btw, if anyone is wondering why this sort of "compact" manlift is desirable over say a scissor lift for inside use, it's because you can lift up and over machines that might be in the way otherwise. Sometimes a light you want to change will be right above a 20,000 lb 9 x 10 footprint machine and you just can't position the scissor lift close enough due to the obstructions. But with this puppy you can be way beyond your target and still reach it with ease. The downside is that the machine itself takes up more space in the shop.
