This section contains the general safety precautions which
must be observed during maintenance of the aerial platform. It is of utmost importance that maintenance personnel pay strict attention to these warnings and precautions
to avoid possible injury to themselves or others, or damage to the equipment. A maintenance program must be
followed to ensure that the machine is safe to operate.
MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE WITHOUT CERTIFICATION BY
A RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY THAT THE MACHINE IS AT LEAST
AS SAFE AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED, IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
The specific precautions to be observed during maintenance are inserted at the appropriate point in the manual.
These precautions are, for the most part, those that apply
when servicing hydraulic and larger machine component
parts.
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of weight. Never attempt to move heavy
parts without the aid of a mechanical device. Do not allow
heavy objects to rest in an unstable position. When raising
a portion of the equipment, ensure that adequate support is
provided.
SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IN THIS AREA RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATO R.
BHYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems
operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pressures.
Every effort should be made to relieve any system pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any portion of the
system.
feed lines to system components can then be disconnected
with minimal fluid loss.
CMAINTENANCE
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN
THIS SECTION MAY RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSONNEL
INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
• NO SMOKING IS MANDATORY. NEVER REFUEL DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS. ENSURE THAT FUEL
CAP IS CLOSED AND SECURE AT ALL OTHER
TIMES.
• REMOVE ALL RINGS, WATCHES AND JEWELRY
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
• DO NOT WEAR LONG HAIR UNRESTRAINED, OR
LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING AND NECKTIES WHICH
ARE APT TO BECOME CAUGHT ON OR ENTANGLED
IN EQUIPMENT.
• OBSERVE AND OBEY ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MACHINE AND IN SERVICEMANUAL.
• KEEP OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC. WIPED FROM
STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS.
• USE CAUTION WHEN CHECKING A HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT SYSTEM.
• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED BOOM UNTIL
BOOM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY
MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING,
OR BOOM SAFETY PROP HAS BEEN ENGAGED.
• BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR
PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE, SHUT
OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS.
• BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTEDDURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
• KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACHMENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.
• USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING
SOLVENTS.
Relieve system pressure by cycling the applicable control
several times with the engine stopped and ignition on, to
direct any line pressure back into the reservoir. Pressure

chemical stability for mobile hydraulic system service. JLG Industries recommends Mobilfluid 424
hydraulic oil, which has an SAE viscosity index of
152 .
NOTE: When temperatures remain consistently below 20
degrees F (-7 degrees C.), JLG Industries recommends the use of Mobil DTE11.
NOTE: Aside from JLG recommendations, it is not advisable
to mix oils of different brands or types, as they may
not contain the same required additives or be of
comparable viscosities. If use of hydraulic oil other
than Mobilfluid 424 is desired, contact JLG Industries for proper recommendations.

2.1GENERAL
NOTE: The JLG Models 100HX, 110HX and 100HX+10
have been built with two different turntable configurations. Turntable number 4620044 is used on
machines with serial numbers 11511, 12249, 12598,
12836, 12838 and higher through March, 1992.
Turntable number 4620078 is used on machines
since March, 1992. Where differences between
specifications on maintenance procedures exist, the
turntable number will be specified. Refer to the JLG
Illustrated Parts Manual for turntable illustrations.
This section provides information necessary to perform
maintenance on the aerial platform. Descriptions, techniques and specific procedures are designed to provide
the safest and most efficient maintenance for use by personnel responsible for ensuring the correct installation
and operation of machine components and systems.
WHEN AN ABNORMAL CONDITION IS NOTED AND PROCEDURES
CONTAINED HEREIN DO NOT SPECIFICALLY RELATE TO THE
NOTED IRREGULARITY, WORK SHOULD BE STOPPED AND
TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED GUIDANCE OBTAINED BEFORE WORK
IS RESUMED.
The maintenance procedures included consist of servicing and component removal and installation, disassembly
and assembly, inspection, lubrication and cleaning. Information on any special tools or test equipment is also provided where applicable.
2.2SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDELINES
General
The following information is provided to assist you in the
use and application of servicing and maintenance procedures contained in this chapter.
Safety and Workmanship
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of weight. Never attempt to move heavy
parts without the aid of a mechanical device. Do not allow
heavy objects to rest in an unstable position. When raising
a portion of the equipment, ensure that adequate support
is provided.
Cleanliness
1. The most important single item in preserving the
long service life of a machine is to keep dirt and foreign materials out of the vital components. Precautions have been taken to safeguard against this.
Shields, covers, seals, and filters are provided to
keep air, fuel, and oil supplies clean; however, these
items must be maintained on a scheduled basis in
order to function properly.
2. At any time when air, fuel, or oil lines are disconnected, clear adjacent areas as well as the openings
and fittings themselves. As soon as a line or component is disconnected, cap or cover all openings to
prevent entry of foreign matter.
3. Clean and inspect all parts during servicing or maintenance, and assure that all passages and openings
are unobstructed. Cover all parts to keep them
clean. Be sure all parts are clean before they are
installed. New parts should remain in their containers until they are ready to be used.
Components Removal and Installation
1. Use adjustable lifting devices, whenever possible, if
mechanical assistance is required. All slings (chains,
cables, etc.) should be parallel to each other and as
near perpendicular as possible to top of part being
lifted.
2. Should it be necessary to remove a component on
an angle, keep in mind that the capacity of an eyebolt or similar bracket lessens, as the angle between
the supporting structure and the component
becomes less than 90 degrees.
3. If a part resists removal, check to see whether all
nuts, bolts, cables, brackets, wiring, etc.,have been
removed and that no adjacent parts are interfering.
Component Disassembly and Reassembly
When disassembling or reassembling a component, complete the procedural steps in sequence. Do not partially
disassemble or assemble one part, then start on another.
Always recheck your work to assure that nothing has been
overlooked. Do not make any adjustments, other than
those recommended, without obtaining proper approval.
Pressure-Fit Parts
When assembling pressure-fit parts, use an “anti-seize” or
molybdenum disulfide base compound to lubricate the
mating surface.
3120636– JLG Lift –2-1
Page 26
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Bearings
1. When a bearing is removed, cover it to keep out dirt
and abrasives. Clean bearings in nonflammable
cleaning solvent and allow to drip dry. Compressed
air can be used but do not spin the bearing.
2. Discard bearings if the races and balls (or rollers)
are pitted, scored, or burned.
3. If bearing is found to be serviceable, apply a light
coat of oil and wrap it in clean (waxed) paper. Do not
unwrap reusable or new bearings until they are
ready to install.
4. Lubricate new or used serviceable bearings before
installation. When pressing a bearing into a retainer
or bore, apply pressure to the outer race. If the bearing is to be installed on a shaft, apply pressure to the
inner race.
Gaskets
Check that holes in gaskets align with openings in the
mating parts. If it becomes necessary to hand-fabricate a
gasket, use gasket material or stock of equivalent material
and thickness. Be sure to cut holes in the right location, as
blank gaskets can cause serious system damage.
Bolt Usage and Torque Application
1. Use bolts of proper length. A bolt which is too long
will bottom before the head is tight against its related
part. If a bolt is too short, there will not be enough
thread area to engage and hold the part properly.
When replacing bolts, use only those having the
same specifications of the original, or one which is
equivalent.
2. Unless specific torque requirements are given within
the text, standard torque values should be used on
heat-treated bolts, studs, and steel nuts, in accordance with recommended shop practices. See the
Torque Chart in Section 1 - Specifications.
Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring
Clearly mark or tag hydraulic lines and electrical wiring, as
well as their receptacles, when disconnecting or removing
them from the unit. This will assure that they are correctly
reinstalled.
Hydraulic System
1. Keep the system clean. If evidence of metal or rubber particles are found in the hydraulic system, drain
and flush the entire system.
2. Disassemble and reassemble parts on clean work
surface. Clean all metal parts with non-flammable
cleaning solvent. Lubricate components, as
required, to aid assembly.
Lubrication
Service applicable components with the amount, type,
and grade of lubricant recommended in this manual, at
the specified intervals. When recommended lubricants are
not available, consult your local supplier for an equivalent
that meets or exceeds the specifications listed.
Battery
Clean battery, using a non-metallic brush and a solution of
baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water. After
cleaning, thoroughly dry battery and coat terminals with
an anti-corrosion compound.
Lubrication and Servicing
Components and assemblies requiring lubrication and
servicing are shown in the Lubrication Chart in Section 1.
2.3LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Hydraulic System
1. The primary enemy of a hydraulic system is contamination. Contaminants enter the system by various
means, e.g., using inadequate hydraulic oil, allowing
moisture, grease, filings, sealing components, sand,
etc., to enter when performing maintenance, or by
permitting the pump to cavitate due to insufficient
system warm-up or leaks in the pump supply (suction) lines.
2. The design and manufacturing tolerances of the
component working parts are very close, therefore,
even the smallest amount of dirt or foreign matter
entering a system can cause wear or damage to the
components and generally results in faulty operation. Every precaution must be taken to keep
hydraulic oil clean, including reserve oil in storage.
Hydraulic system filters should be checked,
cleaned, and/or replaced as necessary, at the specified intervals required in Section 1. Always examine
filters for evidence of metal particles.
3. Cloudy oils indicate a high moisture content which
permits organic growth, resulting in oxidation or corrosion. If this condition occurs, the system must be
drained, flushed, and refilled with clean oil.
4. It is not advisable to mix oils of different brands or
types, as they may not contain the same required
additives or be of comparable viscosities. Good
grade mineral oils, with viscosities suited to the
ambient temperatures in which the machine is operating, are recommended for use.
2-2– JLG Lift –3120636
Page 27
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
NOTE: Metal particles may appear in the oil or filters of new
machines due to the wear-in of meshing components.
Hydraulic Oil
1. Refer to Table 1-1 for recommendations for viscosity
ranges.
2. JLG recommends Mobilfluid 424 hydraulic oil, which
has an SAE viscosity of 10W-30 and a viscosity
index of 152.
NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system with oil temperatures
below -15 degrees F (-26 degrees C) is not recommended. If it is necessary to start the system in a
sub-zero environment, it will be necessary to heat
the oil with a low density, 100VAC heater to a minimum temperature of -15 degrees F (-26 degrees C).
3. The only exception to the above is to drain and fill
the system with Mobil DTE 11 oil or its equivalent.
This will allow start up at temperatures down to -20
degrees F (-29 degrees C). However, use of this oil
will give poor performance at temperatures above
120 degrees F (49 degrees C). Systems using DTE
11 oil should not be operated at temperatures above
200 degrees F (94 degrees C) under any condition.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Use of any of the recommended crankcase or
hydraulic oils eliminates the need for changing the
oil on a regular basis. However, filter elements must
be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and
every 300 hours thereafter. If it is necessary to
change the oil, use only those oils meeting or
exceeding the specifications appearing in this manual. If unable to obtain the same type of oil supplied
with the machine, consult local supplier for assistance in selecting the proper equivalent. Avoid mixing petroleum and synthetic base oils. JLG
Industries recommends changing the hydraulic oil
annually.
2. Use every precaution to keep the hydraulic oil clean.
If the oil must be poured from the original container
into another, be sure to clean all possible contaminants from the service container. Always clean the
mesh element of the filter and replace the cartridge
any time the system oil is changed.
Lubrication Specifications
Specified lubricants, as recommended by the component
manufacturers, are always the best choice, however,
multi-purpose greases usually have the qualities which
meet a variety of single purpose grease requirements.
Should any question arise regarding the use of greases in
maintenance stock, consult your local supplier for evaluation. Refer to Table 1-2 for an explanation of the lubricant
key designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.
2.4CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
1. Cylinders are of the double acting type. Systems
incorporating double acting cylinders are as follows:
Lift, Telescope, Steer, Master Level, Slave Level, Axle
Extend, Frame Lift (if equipped) and Extend-AReach (if equipped). A double acting cylinder is one
that requires oil flow to operate the cylinder rod in
both directions. Directing oil (by actuating the corresponding control valve to the piston side of the cylinder) forces the piston to travel toward the rod end of
the barrel, extending the cylinder rod (piston
attached to rod). When the oil flow is stopped,
movement of the rod will stop. By directing oil to the
rod side of the cylinder, the piston will be forced in
the opposite direction and the cylinder rod will
retract.
2. Holding valves are used in the Lift, Slave Level, Telescope, and Extend-A-Reach circuits to prevent
retraction of the cylinder rod should a hydraulic line
rupture or a leak develop between the cylinder and
its related control valve.
2.5VALVES - THEORY OF OPERATION
Solenoid Control Valves (Bang-Bang)
Control valves used are four-way three-position solenoid
valves of the sliding spool design. When a circuit is activated and the control valve solenoid energizes, the spool
is shifted and the corresponding work port opens to permit oil flow to the component in the selected circuit, with
the opposite work port opening to reservoir. Once the circuit is deactivated (control returned to neutral), the valve
spool returns to neutral (center) and oil flow is then
directed through the valve body and returns to reservoir.
3. While the unit is shut down, a good preventive maintenance measure is to make a thorough inspection
of all hydraulic components, lines, fittings, etc., as
well as a functional check of each system, before
placing the machine back in service.
3120636– JLG Lift –2-3
Page 28
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
A typical control valve consists of the valve body, sliding
spool, and two solenoid assemblies. The spool is
machine fitted in the bore of the valve body. Lands on the
spool divide the bore into various chambers, which, when
the spool is shifted, align with corresponding ports in the
valve body open to common flow. At the same time other
ports would be blocked to flow. The spool is springloaded to center position, therefore when the control is
released, the spool automatically returns to neutral, prohibiting any flow through the circuit.
Manual Hydraulic Control Valves
The manual hydraulic control valves consist of four-way,
multi-position valve sections, each section incorporating a
sliding spool, spring-loaded to neutral or off. Each spool is
attached to a control lever which provides for proportional
control of the selected system function. This proportional
control enables metering of oil flow in accordance with
spool position, affording variable and smooth speed control capability. Spool movement causes work ports within
the valve to align in a predetermined way, permitting flow
to the selected function, with the opposing work ports
positioned to allow return flow to the hydraulic reservoir.
Proportional Control Valves - Vickers
The Vickers proportional valves provide a power output
matching that required by the load. A small line connected
to a load sensing port feeds load pressure back to a
sequence valve. The sequence valve senses the difference between the load and pump outlet pressure, and
varies the pump displacement to keep the difference constant. This differential pressure is applied across the
valve’s meter-in spool, with the effect that pump flow is
determined by the degree of spool opening, independent
of load pressure. Return lines are connected together,
simplifying routing of return flow and to help reduce cavitation.
Load sensing lines connect through shuttle valves to feed
the highest load signal back to the sequence valve. Integral actuator port relief valves, anti-cavitation check
valves, and load check valves are standard.
Relief Valves
Main relief valves are installed at various points with the
hydraulic system to protect associated systems and components against excessive pressure. Excessive pressure
can be developed when a cylinder reaches its limit of
travel and the flow of pressurized fluid continues from the
system control. The relief valve provides an alternate path
for the continuing flow from the pump, thus preventing
rupture of the cylinder, hydraulic line or fitting. Complete
failure of the system pump is also avoided by relieving circuit pressure. The relief valve is installed in the circuit
between the pump outlet (pressure line) and the cylinder
of the circuit, generally as an integral part of the system
valve bank. Relief pressures are set slightly higher than
the load requirement, with the valve diverting excess
pump delivery back to the reservoir when operating pressure of the component is reached.
Crossover Relief Valves
Crossover relief valves are used in circuits where the actuator requires an operating pressure lower than that supplied to the system. When the circuit is activated and the
required pressure at the actuator is developed, the crossover relief diverts excess pump flow to the reservoir. Individual, integral reliefs are provided for each side of the
circuit.
2.6BOOM CHAINS
Adjusting Procedures
ENSURE MACHINE IS ON A FIRM AND LEVEL SURFACE.
1. Position boom fully retracted at +5 degrees horizontal, no load in platform.
2. Torque outer mid section extend chain adjuster to 59
ft. lb. (80 Nm).
3. Torque outer mid section retract chain adjuster to 59
ft. lb. (80 Nm).
4. Torque fly section extend chain adjuster to 59 ft. lb.
(80 Nm).
5. Torque fly section retract chain adjuster to 59 ft. lb.
(80 Nm).
6. Cycle boom (extend at least 6 feet [2 meters], then
retract fully).
7. Recheck outer mid section extend chain.
8. Recheck outer mid section retract chain.
9. Recheck fly section extend chain.
10. Recheck fly section retract chain.
11. Repeat steps (2) thru (10) if necessary.
12. Check for proper operation of boom.
JLG Industries, Inc. requires a complete boom disassembly, per instructions outlined in Boom Maintenance in this
section, every two years. All boom chains and related
components (i.e., sheaves, pins, sprockets, wear pads,
etc.) must also be inspected and replaced (as necessary)
during this disassembly.
An immediate disassembly of the boom assembly and
inspection of the boom chains and related components is
required if any of the following conditions occur:
1. After the machine is exposed to hostile environments or conditions (i.e. extreme cold, dust, sand,
blasting grit, salt, chemicals, etc.), which could
adversely affect boom operation.
2. Erratic boom operation or unusual noise exists. See
the Troubleshooting section in this Service Manual.
3. Chain adjustment is required more often than specified in the Preventive Maintenance and Inspection
Schedule or links need to be removed (chain shortened) to make the proper adjustment.
4. The machine is idle for an extended period (6
months or longer.)
5. The boom is overloaded or sustained a shock load.
FAILURE TO DISASSEMBLE THE BOOM ASSEMBLY AND PROPERLY INSPECT AND/OR REPLACE THE BOOM CHAINS AND
RELATED COMPONENTS (I.E., SHEAVES, PINS, SPROCKETS,
WEAR PADS, ETC.) COULD RESULT IN THE DAMAGE AND/OR
BREAKAGE OF THE BOOM CHAINS AND/OR RELATED COMPONENTS. DAMAGE AND/OR BREAKAGE OF THESE ITEMS COULD
RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED EXTENSION OR RETRACTION OF
THE BOOM ASSEMBLY AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO PERSONNEL OPERATING THE JLG BOOM LIFT.
Inspection Procedure
Inspect boom chains for the following conditions:
1. Wear: Always inspect that segment of chain that
operates over a sheave. As the chain flexes over the
extend/retract sheaves, joints and plate edges very
gradually wear. Chain “stretch” can be measured
using a manufacturers wear scale or steel tape.
When chains have elongated 3% they must be
removed and replaced. Refer to Table 2-1, Chain
Stretch Tolerance for proper chain specifications
and allowable stretch tolerances. Peening and wear
of chain plate edges are caused by sliding over a
chain worn contact face of a sheave, or unusually
heavy loads. All of the above require replacement of
the chain and correction of the cause. Chain side
wear, noticeable when pin heads and outside plates
show a definite wear pattern, is caused by misalignment of the sheave/chain anchors and must be corrected promptly. Do not repair chains; if a section of
chain is damaged, replace the entire chain set.

2. Lubrication: One of the most important but often
overlooked factors is adequate lubrication. In addition to reducing internal friction, maintaining a film of
oil on all chain surfaces will inhibit rusting and corrosion. This is important as corrosion of highly
stressed, hardened steel chain components can
cause a major reduction in the load capacity of leaf
chain and result in link plate cracking.
NOTE: The need for lubrication can be determined by the
presence of rust on the exposed portions of chain.
3. Rust and Corrosion: Rust and corrosion will cause
a major reduction in the load carrying capacity of the
chain, because these are primary reasons for side
plate cracking. The initial lubrication at the factory is
applied in a hot dip tank to assure full penetration
into the joint. Do not steam clean or degrease
chains. At time of chain installation, factory lube
must be supplemented by a maintenance program
to provide a film of oil on the chains at all times.
If chains are corroded, they must be inspected,
especially the outside plates, for cracks in-line with
the pins. If cracks are found, replace the chain; if no
cracks are discovered, lubricate the chains by dipping in heated oil, and reinstall on the machine.
Keep chains lubricated.
4. Fatigue Cracks: Fatigue is a phenomenon that
affects most metals, and is the most common cause
of chain plate failures. Fatigue cracks are found
through the link holes, perpendicular (90 degrees)
from the pin in-line position. Inspect chains carefully
after long time use and heavy loading for this type of
crack. If any cracks are discovered, replace all
chains, as seemingly sound plates are on the verge
of cracking. Fatigue and ultimate strength failures on
JLG Lifts are incurred as a result of severe abuse as
design specs are well within the rated lifting capacity
of these chains.
Pin to Pin
Measurement
Allowable Stretch
5. Tight Joints: All joints in the roller chain should flex
freely. On roller chain, tight joints are usually caused
by rust/corrosion, or the inside plates “walking” off
the bushing. Limber up rusty/corroded chains (after
inspecting carefully) with a heavy application of oil
(preferably a hot oil dip). Tap inside “walking” plates
inward; if “walking” persists, replace the chain. This
type of problem is accelerated by poor lubrication
maintenance practice, and most tight joint chains
have been operated with little or no lubrication. Tight
joints on leaf chain are generally caused by:
1. Bent pins or plates.
2. Rusty joints.
3. Peened plate edges.
Oil rusty chains, and replace chains with bent or
peened chain components. Keep chains lubricated.
6. Protruding or Turned Pins: Chains operating with
inadequate lube generate tremendous friction
between the pin and plates (pin and bushing on
roller chain). In extreme cases, this frictional torque
can actually turn the pins in the outside press-fit
plates. Inspect for turned pins, which can be easily
spotted as the “V” flats on the pin heads are no
longer in line. Replace all chains showing evidence
of turned or protruding pins. Keep chains lubricated.
7. Stress Corrosion Cracking: The outside link
plates, which are heavily press-fitted to the pins, are
particularly susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.
Like fatigue cracks, these initiate at the point of highest stress (aperture) but tend to extend in an arc-like
path, often parallel to the rolling grain of the material.
3120636– JLG Lift –2-9
Page 34
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
ABNORMAL PROTRUSION OR
TURNED PINS
ARC-LIKE CRACKED PLATES
(STRESS CORROSION)
Also, more than one crack can often appear on a
link plate. In addition to rusting, this condition can
be caused by exposure to an acidic or caustic
medium or atmosphere. Stress corrosion is an environmentally assisted failure. Two conditions must be
present - corrosive agent and static stress.
In the chain, static stress is present at the aperture
due to the press fit pin. No cycle motion is required
and the plates can crack during idle periods. The
reactions of many chemical agents (such as battery
acid fumes) with hardened metals liberate hydrogen
which attacks and weakens the metal grain structure.
2.7WEAR PADS
9. Shim up wear pads to within 1/16 in. (0.8 mm) tolerance between wear pad and adjacent surface.
10. Replace wear pads when worn within 1/8 in. (3.2
mm) of threaded insert.
2.8DRIFT TEST
NOTE: It is recommended that the machine be shut down in
the test mode for at least one hour prior to beginning
the drift test. This will allow the oil temperature in the
cylinder to stabilize with the ambient temperature.
Thermal expansion or retraction of the hydraulic oil
can greatly affect cylinder movement.
Telescope Cylinder
NOTE: Switches referenced in this procedure are located on
the Ground Control Panel.
1. Activate hydraulic system, properly set extendable
axles and position boom in stowed position; adhere
to all safety precautions.
8. Chain Anchors and Sheaves: An inspection of the
chain must include a close examination of chain
anchors and sheaves. Check chain anchors for wear
breakage and misalignment. Anchors with worn or
broken fingers should be replaced. They should
also be adjusted to eliminate twisting the chain for
an even load distribution.
Sheaves should be inspected for worn flanges,
which would indicate misalignment, and wear on the
outside diameter of the sheave. A worn sheave can
mean several problems, as follows:
1. Chains too tight.
2. Sheave bearings/pin bad.
3. Bent/misaligned chains.

BEFORE RAISING AND EXTENDING BOOM, ENSURE THAT
AREAS ABOVE AND BELOW BOOM AND PLATFORM AND AHEAD
OF PLATFORM ARE CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS AND PERSONNEL.
2. Position LIFT control switch to UP and hold until
boom reaches horizontal.
3. Position TELESCOPE control switch to OUT and
hold until boom extends approximately four (4) feet
(1.2 meter); measure from end of base section to
end of mid section.
4. Position LIFT control switch to UP and hold until
boom reaches maximum elevation. Shut down
engine.
5. Tag and carefully disconnect the hydraulic lines to
the telescope cylinder at control valve.
6. Observe oil flow from cylinder lines. Oil leaking from
extend port hose indicates a leaking counterbalance
valve. Oil leaking from retract port hose indicates
leakage by cylinder piston.
7. Leave boom elevated in test position for approximately one hour.
BEFORE LOWERING BOOM, ENSURE THAT AREAS BELOW
BOOM AND PLATFORM ARE CLEAR OF ALL PERSONNEL AND
OBSTRUCTIONS.
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
2. Attach tape measure or cord to bottom of platform.
BEFORE RAISING BOOM, ENSURE THAT AREAS ABOVE AND
BELOW BOOM AND PLATFORM ARE CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS AND PERSONNEL.
3. With boom fully retracted, place LIFT control switch
to UP and hold until platform is approximately 6 feet
(2 meters) above ground level. Shut down engine.
4. Tag and carefully disconnect hydraulic lines to lift
cylinder at control valve. Use a suitable container to
retain any residual hydraulic fluid.
5. Observe oil flow from cylinder lines. Oil leaking from
extend port hose indicates a leaking counterbalance
valve. Oil leaking from retract port hose indicates
leakage by cylinder piston.
6. Leave boom elevated in test position for approximately one (1) hour.
7. With tape measure or cord used for reference,
check to see whether boom has lowered (crept)
more than 3 inches (7.6 cm).
8. If boom has lowered and oil is leaking around rodend cap of cylinder, seals in cylinder are defective
and require replacement. If boom has lowered and
oil is leaking from the counterbalance valve, the
valve is either improperly adjusted or defective and
requires replacement.
8. Position LIFT control switch to DOWN and hold until
boom reaches horizontal; check boom length
against measurement. If boom has retracted more
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) and oil is leaking around rodend of telescope cylinder (check with light and
inspection mirror), seals are defective and require
replacement, or cylinder rod is scored and cylinder
requires overhaul or replacement. If boom has
retracted and oil is leaking from counterbalance
valve, the valve is either improperly adjusted, or
defective and requires replacement.
9. Connect hydraulic lines to control valve.
Lift Cylinder
NOTE: Switches referenced in this procedure are located on

NOTE: Tape measure or cord should be at least 7 feet (2.1
meters) long for use in this test.
ENSURE THAT HYDRAULIC LINES ARE CONNECTED AS
MARKED PRIOR TO BEING DISCONNECTED.
9. Connect hydraulic lines to control valve.
2.9CYLINDER CHECKING PROCEDURES
NOTE: Cylinder checks must be performed any time a cylin-
der component is replaced or when improper system
operation is suspected.
OPERATE FUNCTIONS FROM GROUND CONTROL STATION
ONLY.
1. Using all applicable safety precautions, activate
engine and fully extend cylinder to be checked. Shut

2. Carefully disconnect hydraulic hose from retract port
of cylinder. There will be initial weeping of hydraulic
fluid which can be caught in a suitable container.
After the initial discharge, there should be no further

2.13 TILT ALARM SWITCH LEVELING
NOTE: Each machine is equipped with a tilt alarm switch,
factory set to activate at 5 degrees, which will illuminate a warning light, sound a warning horn and cut
out 2 Speed Drive. Consult factory for tilt sensor
adjustment. The only field adjustment necessary is
leveling the switch on the spring loaded studs. There
are two methods of adjustment, a manual adjustment and an adjustment using a voltmeter.
PERFORM TILT ALARM SWITCH LEVELING PROCEDURE A MINIMUM OF EVERY SIX MONTHS TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION
AND ADJUSTMENT OF SWITCH.
Manual Adjustment
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Ensure
machine is level and tires are filled to rated pressure.
NOTE: Ensure switch mounting bracket is level and securely
attached.
2. Level the base of the indicator by tightening the
three flange nuts. Tighten each nut through approximately one half of it’s spring’s travel. DO NOT
ADJUST THE “X” NUT DURING THE REMAINDER
OF THE PROCEDURE.

3. With the electrical connections complete, slowly
tighten one of the “Y” nuts until the circuit is closed
and the light on the Platform Control Console illuminates.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the remaining “Y” nut.
The switch is now level.
7. Individually push down on one corner at a time;
there should be enough travel to cause the switch to
trip. If the switch does not trip in all three tests, the
flange nuts have been tightened too far. Loosen the
“X” nut and repeat steps 3 through 7.
Voltmeter Adjustment
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Ensure
machine is level and tires are filled to rated pressure.
2. If engine is not running, turn ignition switch to ON.
3. Connect black lead of voltmeter to ground and red
lead to yellow wire protruding from pot on bottom of
sensor.
4. Adjust leveling nuts to obtain the highest possible
voltage reading.
4. Slowly back off the nut, counting the number of
turns, until the circuit is again closed and the light
again illuminates.
5. Check voltage at trip point in all four directions. If
voltage reading is not symmetrical, repeat step 4
above.
5. Divide the number of turns determined in step 4 in
half. Tighten the nut this many turns. The line determined by this nut and the “X” nut is now parallel to
the ground.

GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENTS - FORD
ENGINE
Checks
1. Check that anti-dieseling solenoid is operating. If
solenoid is operating, an audible click at the carburetor should be heard when the ignition is switched
on.
2. Check throttle linkage for smooth operation by rotating throttle lever by hand to full throttle position, then
slowly back to idle position, felling closely for sticking or binding. To accomplish this, the throttle must
first be disconnected.
Automatic Choke Adjustments
1. At 70°F the choke plate should be open 1/32" (not
touching the choke bore).
2. If the ambient temperature is not 70°F, an additional
adjustment is required.
a. Loosen the three cover plate screws.
b. Adjust the cover to open the choke plate 1/32".
1. Disconnect actuator cable from throttle lever. With
the aid of an assistant, start the engine and allow it
to come up to operating temperature. Adjust throttle
lever stop until engine runs at 1800 RPM. Shut down
engine. Reattach actuator cable to throttle lever,
making sure that low (mid) engine setting remains
the same. If necessary, adjust slide pin to contact
low (mid) engine limit switch at 1800 RPM. Shut
down engine.
2. Start the engine from ground controls and allow to
come up to operating temperature. Inside the
ground control terminal box, attach a “hot” wire from
the 12 Volt power (red) wire at the PLATFORM/
GROUND SELECT switch to terminal 1 (brown/black
wire) on the relay circuit card at the top of the
ground control terminal box. This will cause the
engine to run as if HIGH ENGINE and HIGH DRIVE
are activated. Adjust slide pin to contact high engine
limit switch at 2500 RPM. Remove “hot” wire from
terminal 1 and from PLATFORM/GROUND SELECT
switch. Shut down engine.
NOTE: Actuator cable travel must stop slightly before lever
makes contact with throttle lever stop. Failure to do
so will burn out actuator.

THE SWING BEARING IS ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL POINTS
ON AN AERIAL LIFT. IT IS HERE THAT THE STRESSES OF LIFTING ARE CONCENTRATED, AT THE CENTER OF ROTATION.
BECAUSE OF THIS, PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THE SWING
BEARING BOLTS IS A MUST FOR SAFE OPERATION.
Bearing Replacement
1. Removal.
a. From ground control station, operate the boom
lift control and raise boom adequately to provide
access to frame opening or, if equipped, to the
rotary coupling.
NEVER WORK BENEATH THE BOOM WITHOUT FIRST PROVIDING
ADEQUATE OVERHEAD SLING SUPPORT AND/OR BLOCKING.
b. Attach an adequate support sling to the boom
and draw all slack from sling. Block the boom if
feasible.
NOTE: Steps c and d apply to those machines equipped
with a rotary coupling.
c. From under side of machine frame, remove bolts
and lockwashers which attach rotary coupling
retaining yoke to coupling housing.
HYDRAULIC LINES AND PORTS SHOULD BE CAPPED IMMEDIATELY AFTER DISCONNECTING LINES TO AVOID THE ENTRY OF
CONTAMINANTS INTO THE SYSTEM.
d. Tag and disconnect the hydraulic lines from the
fittings on the top and sides of the rotary coupling. Use a suitable container to retain any
residual hydraulic fluid. Immediately cap lines
and ports.
e. Attach suitable overhead lifting equipment to the
base of the turntable weldment.
f. Use a suitable tool to scribe a line on the inner
race of the swing bearing and on the underside
of the turntable. This line will aid in aligning the
bearing upon installation. Remove the bolts,
nuts and washers which attach the turntable to
the bearing inner race. Discard the nuts and
bolts.
g. Use the lifting equipment to carefully lift the com-
plete turntable assembly from the bearing.
Ensure that no damage occurs to the turntable,
bearing or frame mounted components.
h. Carefully place the turntable on a suitably sup-
ported trestle.
i. Use a suitable tool to scribe a line on the outer
race of the swing bearing and the frame. This
line will aid in aligning the bearing upon installation. Remove the bolts and washers which
attach the outer race of the bearing to the frame.
Discard the bolts. Use suitable lifting equipment
to remove the bearing from the frame; move the
bearing to a clean suitably supported work area.
2. Installation.
NOTE: The following note and steps a thru m pertain to the
use of Devcon and apply only to those machines
built prior to mid-1991.
NOTE: Manufacturing tolerances of frames and turntables
are inspected prior to the factory installation of swing
bearings to determine the need for use of Devcon
filler. When servicing machine swing bearing, apply
Devcon filler only to those machines having Devcon
previously applied at the factory. If new turntable or
frame is being installed contact manufacturer for procedures to determine the need for Devcon application.
a. Use suitable standard tools and equipment to
carefully remove any hardened epoxy residue
from the bearing mounting area of frame and
turntable.
b. Apply a layer of Devcon (or equivalent) filler
approximately 3 mm thick on the bearing mounting plate on the frame.
c. Use suitable lifting equipment to carefully lower
the swing bearing into position on the frame.
Ensure that the scribed line of the outer race of
the bearing aligns with the scribed mark on the
frame (if a new swing bearing is used, ensure
that the filler plug fitting is at 90 degrees from the
fore and aft centerline of the frame).
d. Ensure that all frame and bearing attachment
holes are aligned, and install four diametrically
opposed bolts or clamps to secure the bearing
to the frame. Tighten the bolts or clamps evenly
in a diametrical pattern to a torque of 20 ft. lb.
(27 Nm).
e. Allow Devcon filler to cure at room temperature
(approximately 70 degrees F [21 degrees C]) for
10 to 16 hours.
2-44– JLG Lift –3120636
Page 69
f. After the appropriate interval, release the clamps
or remove the bolts. Use a suitable lifting device
to carefully remove the bearing from the frame.
g. Carefully remove any excess filler from the frame
mounting area, from the bearing attachment
holes, and from between the gear teeth.
ENSURE THAT TURNTABLE IS ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED WHILE
APPLYING DEVCON AND WHILE INSTALLING THE BEARING.
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN DURING THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
h. Apply a layer of Devcon (or equivalent) filler
approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) thick to the underside of the bearing mounting area of the turntable base plate.
i. Use suitable hydraulic jacks to carefully raise the
swing bearing to the underside of the turntable
mounting plate. Ensure that the scribed line of
the inner race of the bearing aligns with the
scribed mark on the turntable (If a new swing
bearing is used, ensure that the filler plug fitting
is at 90 degrees from the fore and aft centerline
of the turntable. See Figure 2-20., Swing Bearing
Bolt Torquing Sequence).
j. Ensure that all turntable and bearing attachment
holes are aligned, and install four (4) diametrically opposed clamps or bolts and nuts to
secure the bearing to the turntable. Tighten the
nuts and bolts or clamp evenly in a diametrical
pattern to a torque of 20 ft. lb. (27 Nm).
k. Allow the Devcon filler to cure at room tempera-
ture (approximately 70 degrees F [21 degrees
C]) for 10 to 16 hours.
l. After the appropriate interval, place a suitable
hydraulic jack under the bearing and release the
clamps or remove the nuts and bolts; use the
hydraulic jack to carefully remove the bearing
from the turntable.
m. Carefully remove excess filler from the turntable
mounting area, from the bearing attachment
holes and from between the gear teeth.
n. Position the bearing on the machine frame in the
same position as noted in step c above.
o. Use suitable lifting equipment to carefully lower
the swing bearing into position on the frame.
Ensure that the scribed line of the outer race of
the bearing aligns with the scribed mark on the
frame (if a new swing bearing is used, ensure
that the filler plug fitting is at 90 degrees from the
fore and aft centerline of the frame).

2.28 OEM CONTROLLERS
LED’s on the circuit board show if the controller works.
The A Terminal LED lights when the handle is moved in
the A direction, B Terminal LED in the B direction.
ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE IN THE ORDER LISTED.
HI RANGE Adjustment
1. Move handle all the way forward.
2. Back off controller approximately 10°.
3. If function slows down, controller is at or below maximum output. If this is satisfactory, do not adjust further.
4. If function speed is too slow, turn HI RANGE trimpot
CW to increase speed. If function speed is too fast,
turn trimpot CCW to decrease speed.
5. If necessary, repeat steps (1) through 4.
IRS - RAMP RATE Adjustment
1. Turning RAMP RATE trimpot CW increases the time
to turn ON or OFF; CCW decreases the time it takes
to turn ON or OFF when handle is moved.
2. Trimpot has a wide adjustment range, therefore it
will be necessary to make 2 or 3 turns to notice a difference in function response.d.
LO RANGE Adjustment (CREEP)
1. Turn CREEP switch on and completely stroke handle.
2. Adjust LO RANGE trimpot for desired output or function speed. CW increases speed/output, CCW
decreases speed/output.
Before making adjustments, position CREEP switch to
OFF, IGNITION switch to ON and depress footswitch.
THRESHOLD Adjustment
1. Move controller handle approximately one (1) inch
(2.5 cm), until LED light comes on.
2. Adjust THRESHOLD trimpot CW to increase function
speed, CCW to decrease speed.
3. Adjust trimpot so that function just starts to move
after LED light comes on.
