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 OR ALTERATION OF AN AERIAL WORK PLATFORM SHALL BE MADE ONLY WITH WRITTEN PERMISSION
FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
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/OPERATOR.
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.

NOTE: Hydraulic oils must have anti-wear qualities at least
to API Service Classification GL-3, and sufficient
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.
For machine identification, a serial number plate is affixed
to the machine. The plate is located on the left side of the
turntable, just behind the fuel tank. If the serial number
plate is missing, the machine serial number is stamped on
the left side of the frame, below the turntable bearing. In
addition, the last five digits of the serial number are
stamped on the top of the fly end of each of the tower
boom and main boom sections.
NOTE: The lubrication intervals in Figure 1-1., Operator

2.2 SERVICE AND GUIDELINES
General
The following information is provided to assist you in the
use and application of servicing and maintenance procedures contained in this book.
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.

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.
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. 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.
2-2– JLG Lift –3120679
Page 31
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
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.
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
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.
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
Torque Chart Section 1.)
2.3LUBRICATION AND 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 speci-
3120679– JLG Lift –2-3
Page 32
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
fied intervals required in the Lubrication Chart 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.
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 Section 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 13 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
13 oil should not be operated at temperatures above
200 degrees F (94 degrees C) under any condition.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Filter elements must be changed after the first 50
hours of operation and every 300 hours (unless
specified otherwise) 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.
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.
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 Section 1 for an explanation of the lubricant
key designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.
2.4CYLINDER DRIFT TEST
Maximum acceptable cylinder drift is to be measured
using the following methods.
Platform Drift
Measure the drift of the platform to the ground. Lower
booms (if equipped) slightly elevated, main boom fully
extended with the rated load in the platform and power off.
Maximum allowable drift is 2 inches (5 cm) in 10 minutes.
If the machine does not pass this test, proceed with the
following.

Drift is to be measured at the cylinder rod with a calibrated
dial indicator. The cylinder oil must be at ambient temperature and temperature stabilized.
The cylinder must have the normal load, which is the normal platform load applied.
If the cylinder passes this test, it is acceptable.
NOTE: This information is based on 6 drops per minute cyl-
inder leakage.

2.5PINS AND COMPOSITE BEARING REPAIR
GUIDELINES
b. Flaking, pealing, scoring, or scratches on the pin
surface.
c. Rusting of the pin in the bearing area.
4. Re-assembly of pinned joints using filament wound
bearings.
a. Housing should be blown out to remove all dirt
and debris...bearings and bearing housings
must be free of all contamination.
b. Bearing / pins should be cleaned with a solvent
to remove all grease and oil...filament wound
bearing are a dry joint and should not be lubricated unless otherwise instructed (i.e. sheave
pins).
c. Pins should be inspected to ensure it is free of
burrs, nicks, and scratches which would damage the bearing during installation and operation.
2.6WELDING ON JLG EQUIPMENT

SECTION 3 - CHASSIS & TURNTABLE
SECTION 3. CHASSIS & TURNTABLE
3.1TIRES & WHEELS
Tire Inflation
The air pressure for pneumatic tires must be equal to the
air pressure that is stenciled on the side of the JLG product or rim decal for safe and proper operational characteristics.
Tire Damage
For pneumatic tires, JLG Industries, Inc. recommends that
when any cut, rip, or tear is discovered that exposes sidewall or tread area cords in the tire, measures must be
taken to remove the JLG product from service immediately. Arrangements must be made for replacement of the
tire or tire assembly.
For polyurethane foam filled tires, JLG Industries, Inc. recommends that when any of the following are discovered,
measures must be taken to remove the JLG product from
service immediately and arrangements must be made for
replacement of the tire or tire assembly.
• a smooth, even cut through the cord plies which
exceeds 3 inches (7.5 cm) in total length
• any tears or rips (ragged edges) in the cord plies which
exceeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) in any direction
• any punctures which exceed 1 inch in diameter
• any damage to the bead area cords of the tire
If a tire is damaged but is within the above noted criteria,
the tire must be inspected on a daily basis to insure the
damage has not propagated beyond the allowable criteria.
Tire Replacement
JLG recommends a replacement tire be the same size, ply
and brand as originally installed on the machine. Please
refer to the JLG Parts Manual for the part number of the
approved tires for a particular machine model. If not using
a JLG approved replacement tire, we recommend that
replacement tires have the following characteristics:
ment tire, ensure that all tires are inflated to the pressure
recommended by JLG. Due to size variations between tire
brands, both tires on the same axle should be the same.
Wheel Replacement
The rims installed on each product model have been
designed for stability requirements which consist of track
width, tire pressure, and load capacity. Size changes such
as rim width, center piece location, larger or smaller diameter, etc., without written factory recommendations, may
result in an unsafe condition regarding stability.
Wheel Installation
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper
wheel mounting torque.
WHEEL NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE
PROPER TORQUE TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKEN STUDS,
AND POSSIBLE DANGEROUS SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM THE
AXLE. BE SURE TO USE ONLY THE NUTS MATCHED TO THE CONE
ANGLE OF THE WHEEL.
Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque to prevent
wheels from coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten
the fasteners. If you do not have a torque wrench, tighten
the fasteners with a lug wrench, then immediately have a
service garage or dealer tighten the lug nuts to the proper
torque. Over-tightening will result in breaking the studs or
permanently deforming the mounting stud holes in the
wheels. The proper procedure for attaching wheels is as
follows:
1. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. DO
NOT use a lubricant on threads or nuts.
2. Tighten nuts in the following sequence:
• Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original
• Tire tread contact width equal or greater than original
• Wheel diameter, width, and offset dimensions equal to
the original
• Approved for the application by the tire manufacturer
(including inflation pressure and maximum tire load)
Unless specifically approved by JLG Industries Inc. do not
replace a foam filled or ballast filled tire assembly with a
pneumatic tire. When selecting and installing a replace-

CONCENTRATED, AT THE CENTER OF ROTATION. BECAUSE OF THIS,
PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THE SWING BEARING BOLTS IS A MUST
FOR SAFE OPERATION.
Replacement and Devcon Application
Procedures
REMOVAL
1. From ground control station, operate tower boom lift
control and raise tower boom adequately to provide
access to rotary coupling.
NEVER WORK BENEATH THE BOOM WITHOUT FIRST PROVIDING
ADEQUATE OVERHEAD SLING SUPPORT AND/OR BLOCKING.
2. Attach an adequate support sling to boom and draw
all slack from sling. Block boom if feasible.
3. From under side of machine frame, remove bolts
and lockwashers which attach rotary coupling
retaining yoke to coupling housing.
Wear Tolerance
1. From underside of machine, at rear center, with
tower boom fully elevated and fully retracted and
main fully elevated and fully retracted (See Figure 3-
19.), using a magnetic base dial indicator, measure
and record the distance between the swing bearing
and the frame.
2. At the same point, with tower boom at horizontal and
fully retracted and main boom at horizontal and fully
extended (See Figure 3-19.), using a magnetic base
dial indicator, measure and record the distance
between the swing bearing and frame. (See Figure
3-19.)
3. If a difference greater than 0.076 in. (1.93 mm) is
determined, the swing bearing should be replaced.
4. If a difference less than 0.076 in. (1.93 mm) is determined, and any of the following conditions exist, the
bearing should be removed, disassembled, and
inspected for the following:
a. Metal particles in the grease.
b. Increased drive power required.
HYDRAULIC LINES AND PORTS SHOULD BE CAPPED IMMEDIATELY
AFTER DISCONNECTING LINES TO AVOID THE ENTRY OF CONTAMINANTS INTO THE SYSTEM.
4. Tag and disconnect hydraulic lines from fittings on
top and sides of rotary coupling. Use a suitable container to retain any residual hydraulic fluid. Immediately cap lines and ports.
5. Attach suitable overhead lifting equipment to base of
turntable weldment.
6. Using a suitable tool, scribe a line on inner race of
swing bearing and on underside of turntable. This
line will aid in aligning bearing upon installation.
Remove bolts, nuts and washers which attach turntable to bearing inner race. Discard nuts and bolts.
7. Use lifting equipment to carefully lift complete turntable assembly from bearing. Ensure that no damage
occurs to turntable, bearing or frame mounted components.
8. Carefully place turntable on a suitably supported
trestle.

bearing from frame; move bearing to a clean suitably supported work area.
INSTALLATION
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.
1. Use suitable standard tools and equipment to carefully remove any hardened epoxy residue from bearing mounting area of frame and turntable.
2. Apply a layer of Devcon (or equivalent) filler approximately 0.125 in. (3.18 mm) thick on bearing mounting plate on frame.
3. Use suitable lifting equipment to carefully lower
swing bearing into position on frame. Ensure that
scribed line of outer race of bearing aligns with
scribed mark on frame (if a new swing bearing is
used, ensure that filler plug fitting is at 90 degrees
from fore and aft centerline of frame).
4. Ensure that all frame and bearing attachment holes
are aligned, and install four diametrically opposed
bolts or clamps to secure bearing to frame. Tighten
bolts or clamps evenly in a diametrical pattern to a
torque of 20 ft. lb. (27 Nm).
5. Allow Devcon filler to cure at room temperature
(approximately 21 degrees C.) for 10 to 16 hours.
6. After the appropriate interval, release clamps or
remove bolts. Use a suitable lifting device to carefully remove bearing from frame.
7. Carefully remove any excess filler from frame mounting area, from bearing attachment holes, and from
between gear teeth.

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.
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.
1. Install pump coupling on flywheel and secure with
bolts and lockwashers. Torque bolts to 30 ft. lb. (41
Nm).
BEFORE ASSEMBLING PUMP COUPLING AND PUMP, BE SURE TO
COAT INTERNAL SPLINES OF COUPLING AND EXTERNAL SPLINES
OF PUMP SHAFT WITH TEXACO CODE 1912 GREASE.
2. Attach pump mounting plate adaptor to bell housing
of engine and secure with bolts and lockwashers.
3. Align pump shaft with coupling, push pump into
position and secure with bolts and lockwashers.
3.14 TILT ALARM SWITCH
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.

4. Slowly back off the nut, counting the number of
turns, until the circuit is again closed and the light
again illuminates.
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.
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).

has been air-vented or “bled” of air. See Cummins
instruction manual for procedure.
a. 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.
b. Disconnect power (red) wire from high drive
dump valve at rear of valve compartment. With
the aid of an assistant, start engine from basket

Inspection Procedure
BOOM CHAINS ARE TO BE INSPECTED AT TIME OF NEXT BOOM
OVERHAUL AND WHEN DEEMED NECESSARY BY MACHINE OWNER.
INSPECTION INTERVAL SHOULD NOT EXCEED 500 HOURS OF
MACHINE OPERATION.
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 4-1, 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.
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.
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.

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 care fully) 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.
Also, more then 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.

8. Chain Anchors, Sheaves, and Pins: 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.

SECTION 5. HYDRAULICS
SECTION 5 - HYDRAULICS
5.1VALVES - 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. 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.
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.
5.2CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
Cylinders are of the double acting type. Systems incorporating double acting cylinders are as follows: Tower Lift,
To we r Telescope, Main Lift, Main Tele scope, Fro n t a n d
Rear Steer, Lower Master, Upper Master, Platform Slave
Level, Front and Rear Frame Lift and Front and Rear Axle
Extend. 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.
Holding valves are used in t h e To w e r L i f t , To w e r Te l e scope, Main Lift, Main Telescope and Platform Slave Level
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.
