Abstract
A method of operating a ride control system of a machine having an accumulator is provided. The method includes detecting a pressure at the accumulator. The method includes generating a first set of input data associated with a drive system and a brake pedal. The method includes generating a second set of input data associated with a lift cylinder. The method also includes determining a working mode of the ride control system based on the first set of input data and the second set of input data. The working mode of the ride control system includes a normal mode and an exposed mode. The method includes operating a ride control activation solenoid valve, upon determining the pressure at the accumulator to be above a predefined threshold, and the working mode of the ride control system to be the exposed mode.
