953 Operators manual

[rkadish]

Hello, I just received a 953 and need some help. I am looking for the operators manual so I have a clue as to what i am doing with this thing. I am having trouble with the boom sticking in the middle of a lift or drop and also just not moveing at all. Any ideas?

interesting, that is why i need a manual becasue i have no idea where that is. there is also a knob on the right side, red, that has something to do with letting the boom down manually. if i play with that i get better movement with the boom. I am still clueless on this thing.

I guess a better question would be where is the traction lock solenoid and what is it supposed to do?

You may have already checked, but is there a chance one of your lift cylinders is perhaps bent? Or maybe a seal could be leaking internally so the fluid is bypassing instead of lifting.
