I'm a homeowner in Jupiter FL and rented a 3632T yesterday and brought it home. Unfortunately I'm getting the blinking light at the bottom left of panel "fully lower platform into the stowed position for outrigger when flashing", and now I'm stuck as rental place is closed today / tomorrow. boom can go up and and out and left and right, but won't go down. It makes a start sound like it wants to move, but then light warning sound comes on. I tried turning off/on as well as retracting and extending outriggers, but still have the same issue. Fortunately learned how to manually lower the boom, but no way I can do this when I'm up high in the bucket. I checked to solenoid switches where the boom rests on frame and they seem OK, but not sure what else to check. Thanks if you have a suggestion, but I'm guessing it's a trip back to rental on Monday.

Most of the time one of the switches on the outriggers, or lower boom cradle isn't registering. They often get sand in them or just wear out. This will cause them to intermittently fail. Only other issue I have had in this area is one of the wires could be rubbing on the frame and shorting out or the connection plug could be loose on any one of them.

I have this same machine when the feet hit the ground they just stop and will not push up the lift to level? Like it will not level at all.

Its a common fault on these machines. Usually if you extend one foot a little and then go back to auto level it will engage. Or turn the key off and on.
