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?

haha great machine to learn on, its only the biggest one they ever made haha. sounds like maybe your traction lock solenoid is sticking?
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.
