MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

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 established by a qualified person and 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 machine 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 component weight and 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 IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/ OPERATOR.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY

1. It should be particularly noted that the machines hydraulic systems operate at extremely high and potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should be made to relieve any system pressure prior to dis­connecting or removing any portion of the system.
2. Relieve system pressure by activating the lift DOWN control with the platform completely lowered to direct any line pressure back into the return line to the reservoir. Pressure feed lines to system compo­nents can then be disconnected with minimal fluid loss.

MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN THIS SECTION COULD RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSON­NEL INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
• 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 DANGER, WARNING, CAU­TION AND OTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON MACHINE AND IN SERVICE MANUAL.
• KEEP STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS FREE OF OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC.
• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM UNTIL PLATFORM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVER­HEAD SLING.
• BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE, SHUT OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS.
• BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED DURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPO­NENTS.
• KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACH­MENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.
• USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING SOLVENTS.

1.5 LUBRICATION

Hydraulic Oil

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 of 10W-30 and a viscosity index of 152.
For cold weather applications, i.e. when temperatures remain consistently below +20°F (–7°C) JLG recom­mends using Mobil DTE 13 hydraulic oil.
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.

2.3 SERVICING 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.
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.

Safety and Workmanship

Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always be conscious of component 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.
NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM UNTIL PLAT­FORM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING.

Cleanliness

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 the wheel bearings, mast sec­tions and oil supply clean; however, these items must be maintained on a scheduled basis in order to function properly.
At any time when 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.
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

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.
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.
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.

Bearings

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.
Discard bearings if the races and balls (or rollers) are pit­ted, scored, or burned.
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.
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.

SECTION 2 - SERVICE PROCEDURES

Bolt Usage and Torque Application

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.
Unless specific torque requirements are given within the text, standard torque values should be used on heat­treated bolts, studs, and steel nuts, in accordance with recommended shop practices. (See Section-1, Torque
Charts)

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

Keep the system clean. If evidence of metal or rubber par­ticles is found in the hydraulic system, drain and flush the entire system.
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 and Servicing

Components and assemblies requiring lubrication and servicing are shown on the Lubrication Chart in Section 1. 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.

Batteries

Clean batteries, using a non-metallic brush and a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water. After cleaning, thoroughly dry batteries and coat terminals with an anti-corrosion compound.

Mast Chain Inspection Procedure

Inspect mast chains for the following conditions:
Wear: Always inspect that segment of chain that operates over a sheave. As the chain flexes over the 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 2-3 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.
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.

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
2-6 – JLG Lift – 3120775
SECTION 2 - SERVICE PROCEDURES
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.
Tight Joints: All joints in the leaf chain should flex freely. On leaf 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:
a. Bent pins or plates.
b. Rusty joints.
c. Peened plate edges.
Oil rusty chains, and replace chains with bent or peened chain components. Keep chains lubricated.
TIGHT JOINTS
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.
ARC-LIKE CRACKED PLATES
(STRESS CORROSION)
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.
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.
Inspect the sheaves, sheave bearings, sheave grooves and pins for extreme wear, replace as necessary. A worn sheave can mean several problems, as follows:
a. Chains too tight.
b. Sheave bearings/pin bad.
c. Bent/misaligned chains.
Protruding or Turned Pins: Chains operating with inade­quate lube generate tremendous friction between the pin and plates (pin and bushing on leaf 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.
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.

Mast Cable Inspection Procedure

MAST CABLES ARE TO BE INSPECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS OR MORE FREQUENTLY AS DESCRIBED FOLLOWING.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS WHEN HAN­DLING CABLE.
The periodic inspection shall cover the entire length of the cable. The inspection frequency shall be based on such factors as expected cable life as determined by experi­ence on the particular application or similar installations, severity of environment, percentage of capacity lifts, fre­quency rates of operation, and exposure to shock loads. Inspection should be more frequent as cables approach the end of their useful lives.
Only the surface wires of the cable require inspection, do not attempt to open the cable. Any deterioration resulting in any loss of original strength, such as described below,
3120775 – JLG Lift – 2-7
SECTION 2 - SERVICE PROCEDURES
shall be noted, and then a determination made if further use would constitute a hazard.
Mast cables must be replaced after machine has been in service for five (5) years, regardless of cable condition, or sooner if conditions dictate.
Conditions such as the following shall be sufficient reason for questioning continual use of the [cable] or increasing the frequency of inspection:
1. In running ropes, six randomly distributed broken wires in one lay or three broken wires in one strand in one lay.
2. One outer wire broken at the point of contact with the core of the rope which has worked its way out of the rope structure and protrudes or loops out from the rope structure. Additional inspection of this sec­tion is required.
3. Wear of one-third the original diameter of outside individual wires.
4. Kinking, crushing, birdcaging or any other damage resulting in distortion of the rope structure.
5. Evidence of any heat damage from any cause.
6. Reductions from nominal diameter of more than;
a. 1/64th in. (0.4mm) for diameters up to and
including 5/16th in. (8mm);
NOTE: A good indicator of a stretched extend/retract cable
is if the adjusting nuts are bottomed out. If no adjust­ment remains the cables have stretched and need replacement.
Also check for cracked, bent, worn, severely corroded, or improperly installed cable ends.
Inspect sheaves, sheave grooves, and sheave pins for excessive wear, replace as necessary.

2.4 LUBRICATION INFORMATION

Hydraulic System

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.
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.
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.
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 of new
machines due to the wear-in of meshing compo­nents.

Hydraulic Oil

For best performance, JLG recommends the use of ISO­Vg grade 32, 46 oil with a viscosity range between 15-250 SUS at 100 degrees F (32-54 cST at 40 degrees C). Refer to Section 7 for recommended hydraulic oils.

Changing Hydraulic Oil

Use of any of the recommended hydraulic oils eliminates the need for changing the oil on a regular basis. 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.
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.
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 table in Section-1 for an explanation of the lubricant key designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.

Brush Housing Final Assembly Tips

It is easier to install the brush housing assembly by sliding the rotor assembly completely out of the other end of the motor housing, then attach the brush housing first. After the brush housing is installed look into the motor housing from the opposite end to check that the positive (+) post wires and static winding wires are positioned, not to block the holes for the motor mounting bolts, inside the motor housing.
After final assembly of the brush housing check that all brush terminal screws are tight and the brush springs are positioned properly before mounting the motor to the pump/motor end head.

6. Remove the piston locknut and separate the piston from the rod.
7. Slide the head off the rod from the piston end.
NOTE: When removing the old seals use only blunt tools, be
sure there are no sharp edges that may damage the seal grooves during removal. Scratching the groove may cause by-pass.
8. Remove and discard all old seals.

Lift Cylinder Component Inspection

Cylinder Rod
There should be no scratches or pits deep enough to catch the fingernail. Pits that go to the base metal are unacceptable. Scratches that catch the fingernail but are not to the base metal, less than 0.5 inch long and primarily in the circumferential direction are acceptable provided they cannot cut the rod seal. Chrome should be present over the entire surface of the rod and the lack thereof is unacceptable. In the event that an unacceptable condition occurs, the rod should be repaired or replaced.
Cylinder Head
Visually inspect the inside bore for scratches or polishing. Deep scratches are unacceptable. Polishing indicates uneven loading and when this occurs, the bore should be checked for out-of-roundness. If out-of-roundness exceed
0.007", this is unacceptable. Check the condition of the dynamic seals (wiper, rod seals) looking particulary for metallic particles embedded in the seal surface. It is nor­mal to cut the static seal on the retaining ring groove upon disassembly. Remove the rod seal, static o-ring and backup and rod wiper. Damage to the seal grooves, par­ticularly on the sealing surfaces, is unacceptable. In the

2.8 MAST ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

The SP Series personnel lift mast sections are contructed of extruded aluminum, protected with an anodized surface finish. The mast sections rails are interlocked into each other when assembled and are guided by slide pads mounted at the top and bottom of the rails on both sides of the mast section.
The current SP model mast assemblies have been designed with four (4) and five (5) mast sections;

Model
12SP 4 Chain
15SP 5 Chain
When assembing mast sections carefully slide the mast sections together from bottom until mast ends are even, (when sliding mast sections together be careful not to scratch the anodized surface in the slide pad channels). Assemble the hardware to the bottom of mast section first, then slide this section out the top of previous section and assemble hardware to the top of mast, (See Figure 2-2.). Always install slide pad shims with slide pads inserted into the slide pad channels, (ends of mast sections even).

2.9 MAST ASSEMBLY

(See Figure 2-3., Figure 2-4. & Figure 2-5.)

Mast Section 1 - Assembly

1. Place mast section-1, rail (open) side up (See Figure 2-1.) on a clean, flat surface (preferably a table or work bench capable of supporting the weight of the entire mast assembly). Slide mast out over end of
work surface far enough to allow access to the chain anchor attach holes at top of mast.
2. Locate the two (2) single (wide) chain assemblies. Lay out each chain assembly with anchor block end towards mast, and notched end of block down, (be
certain floor surface is clean and free of any metal chips or debris which may stick to lubricated chains or lay chains in a clean bucket).
3. Insert the block anchor end (with notched end on bottom) into the top of mast section-1 and secure using two (2) 3/8"-16UNC x 2-1/2" long hex head bolts, flatwashers and nuts for each attach block. Place a flatwasher under bolt head and nut.

Mast Section 2 - Assembly

NOTE: When sliding mast sections together, be careful not
to scratch or score the anodized finish in the slide pad channels.
4. Locate mast section-2, carefully slide mast section-2 closed rail into section-1 open rail. Slide sections together until ends are even.
5. Insert slide pads into the slide pad channels at bot­tom end of mast between section-1 and -2, (one on each side of the mast), with beveled surface facing out towards section-1.
6. Thread slide pad attaching bolts, (two (2) 1/4"­20UNC x 3/8" long hex head bolts, place a flat washer under head of each bolt), through holes in mast section-2 inside rail, into the slide pad inserts. Thread in enough to hold pad in place.
7. Shim slide pads using the following steps:
NOTE: Always use the an even amount of shim material
behind slide pads on both sides of the mast rails. This will keep mast sections centered in rail chan­nels and prevent any distortion of the mast section.
a. Start with a .036" thick shim and a .075" thick
shim per side at each slide pad.
b. Slide shims into place between slide pad and
mast rail. Tighten the slide pad mounting bolts, be sure there are no air gaps between shims, shim and mast or shim and slide pad when tight­ened.
c. Check mast section for side play. If play exists
add .015" shims dividing the thickness equally between both sides of mast. Insert shims until the shims cannot be inserted halfway by hand with the mast pulled to the opposite side.
d. When mast slide pads are shimmed properly,
there should be no side to side movement of slide pad in rail channel. Mast sections should be snug in channels but still be able to slide in channel by hand.
8. Insert slide pads into the slide pad channels (top of
mast) between section-1 and -2, (one on each side of the mast), with beveled surface facing in towards
section-2.
NOTE: Before fastening and shimming the slide pad on the
top left side of the mast, install a sequence cable bracket against the mast under the flatwasher.

NOTE: The platform mounting section slide pads, are
assembled differently than the slide pads for the other mast sections. Mast section-4/5 slide pads may need to be assembled/disassembled several times in order to determine the correct shim stock required for proper fit.
49. Complete the following steps to determine shim stock thickness required for section-3/4;
NOTE: Always use the an even amount of shim material
behind slide pads on both sides of the mast rails. This will keep mast sections centered in rail chan­nels and prevent any distortion of the section.
a. Use two shim pieces per slide pad, a thick one
and a thin one.
b. Start with a total thickness of approximately
.035" and .075" thick shim stock.
c. Attach shim stock and slide pads to both sides
of mast section-5/-6/-7 using five (5) 1/4"-20UNC x 1-1/4" long, hex head cap screws per side, with flatwasher under each bolt head. (Assemble
shim stock and slide pad to mast section rail with shim stock against rail and slide pad with bev­eled side out).
d. Carefully thread the slide pad mounting bolts
with flatwashers through slide pads and shim stock into threads in mast section-5. Be certain there are no air gaps between shims, shim and mast or shim and slide pad when tightened.
NOTE: Mast section-4/5 into section-3/4 fit should be very
snug but still be able to be pushed together by hand. If too tight, remove section-4/5, disassemble slide pad and reduce thickness of shim stock.
e. Begin sliding top of mast section-4/5 with closed
rail down engaging the slide pads into slide pad channels at bottom of mast section-3/4’s open rail. Continue to push section-4/5 into section-3/ 4 until BOTTOM ends of mast sections are even.
f. Check mast section for side play. If play exists
use thicker shims dividing thickness equally between both sides of mast.
g. When mast slide pads are shimmed properly,
there should be no side to side movement of slide pad in rail channel. Mast sections should be very snug in channels but still be able to slide in channel by hand.
50. Slide mast section-4/5 out even with top of section­3/4.
51. Insert threaded ends of chain assembly (attached to top of mast section-2/3) into the opening between mast section-3/4 and mast section-4/5.

Chains will be adjusted later in assembly.
52. Slide mast section-4/5 back into mast section-3/4 until bottom ends of masts are even. Check to make sure chain set attached to top of section-2/3 is seat­ing properly in cable sheave wheels attached to top of mast section-3/4. (Mast section-2/3 may need to
be restrained to keep it’s slide pads from pushing out the bottom of mast sections-1/2).
53. Adjust top and bottom ends of mast sections so they are all even with each other. At bottom of mast assembly, thread all chain adjusting nuts on threaded ends until they are snug against the bot­tom anchor plates and all slack is removed from chains. Check that chains are seated in their sheave wheels at top of mast assembly.
54. Assemble the mini covers to the top of each mast section and the sequencing cables and hardware to the side of the mast assembly.
Mast assembly should now be complete.

2.11 MAST CHAINS/CABLES AND SEQUENCING CABLES ADJUSTMENT

Mast Chain/Cable Adjustment

The intention of this procedure is to assure equal load dis­tribution between the individual chains/cables of a mast section chain/cable set. Also to step each front mast sec­tion up approximately 1/4 in. (7mm) from the section behind it to allow clearance for the individual mast section covers.
Adjust using the following procedure;
1. With mast retracted, step into the platform and bounce your weight up and down a few times to be certain platform is at the bottom of travel. Be certain all chain/cable sets are seated in their sheaves prop­erly at the top of each mast section.
2. Then with no load in the platform check the side pro­file of the top of the mast for the amount of adjust­ment necessary to obtain the 1/4 in. (7mm) step for mast sections-3 and up. (See Figure 2-6.)
NOTE: Mast section-1 is fixed to the base and mast section-
2 is attached to the lift cylinder, these sections require no adjustment.
3. Adjust one mast section at a time starting from the back (section-3, section-4, etc.) of the mast and work forward. (i.e.. if three is OK, then jump to four, etc.)
4. To adjust, elevate the platform until the chain/cable anchor adjust nuts are accessible at the front and bottom of each mast section.
NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM UNTIL PLAT­FORM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING.
5. Start with the mast section which needs adjustment and loosen the bottom (jam) nut on each chain/ cable.
Tighten
6. mast section) plate on each chain/cable. Adjust the nut the amount required to raise or lower the top of the mast section to match the side profile shown in Figure 2-
6. when the mast is retracted.
NOTE: It is more important that the (threaded ends) studs
protruding on the adjustments are equal side to side on a mast section, than it is that the tension in the chains is equal. The chain equalizers will always assure equal tension, but if the adjustment isn’t equal as described, the chains may tend to pull to
(to raise mast section),
the adjusting nut
or loosen

Sequencing Cable Adjustment

1. Retract mast completely, and check each sequenc­ing cable on outside of masts for excessive slack. Adjust only to remove slack from cable.
2. Tighten nylock-nut just enough to remove excessive slack from sequencing cable. The springs should not be compressed more than 25% after adjusting.
3. Run mast through several cycles to verify cable/ chain adjustments and ensure no interference exists between chain anchor brackets and mast.

2.12 SEQUENCE CABLE REPLACEMENT KIT

A sequence cable replacement kit is available from the JLG Parts Department to service broken or worn sequence cables. This kit consists of a replacement sequence cable with the threaded (top) end attached same as the top end of the factory cable. Also included is a clamp (drum/socket type) to secure the bottom end of the cable. Use the following procedure to install the replacement cable and clamp kit.

Remove Old Cable

1. Remove the locking nut from the threaded end of the cable at the top of the mast and then remove the spring cap, spring, and spacer washers if installed.
2. Slide the threaded top end out of the upper anchor bracket, then at the bottom end pull the cable out though the sheave pulley/anchor bracket until it is completely clear of the machine.

Replacement Cable Installation

3. Be certain the mast is completely retacted and at the bottom of travel. Check the mast "Side Profile" at the top of the mast as shown in Figure 2-6., adjust mast sections to proper height if necessary.
4. To determine where the clamp will be installed at the bottom of the replacement cable, temporarily assemble the new replacement cable to the top cable anchor bracket on the mast using the wash­ers, spring, spring cap and lock nut previously dis­assembled. Thread the lock nut on until approximately 1/8 in. (3mm) of threads are exposed.
5. At the bottom of the mast, thread the loose end of the replacement cable through the proper sheave pulley and through the hole in the sheave pully/ anchor bracket on the mast section ahead of the sheave pulley.
6. Grasp the cable and pull on the cable until the spring at the top of the cable is slightly compressed. Use a black marker to mark the cable on the top side of the sheave pully/anchor bracket. This will determine where the clamp (drum/socket) sleeve will be positioned on the cable.
DO NOT CUT THE CABLE AT THE MARKED POINT ON THE CABLE THIS IS ONLY USED AS A REFERENCE FOR POSITIONING THE CABLE SLEEVE WHICH WILL REST AGAINST THE ANCHOR BRACKET ONCE INSTALLED.

Clamp Installation (Drum/Socket Type)

THE MANUFACTURER OF THE DRUM/SOCKET CLAMP RECOM­MENDS THE USE OF THEIR CABLE CLAMP ASSEMBLY KIT (JLG P/N - 7023275) TO ASSEMBLE THE CLAMP TO THE WIRE ROPE. THE KIT CONSISTS OF VISE JAWS TO HOLD THE WIRE ROPE IN A VISE PROPERLY WITHOUT DAMAGING ANY ROPE STRANDS AND A PLUG DRIVER TO DRIVE THE PLUG INTO THE CENTER OF THE WIRE ROPE AND IS ALSO USED TO FORM THE STRANDS OF THE ROPE DURING ASSEMBLY.
NOTE: The tools in the clamp assembly kit may be frabri-
cated if necessary. The vise clamp consists of vise jaws with a hole drilled 1/32 in. smaller than the diameter of the wire rope you are working with (i.e. 1/8 in. rope - 3/32 in. hole.) The plug driver is a metal tube with a hole in the bot­tom to allow the strands of the wire rope to be shaped after the plug has been tapped into the cen­ter of the wire rope.
1. Using the recommended vise jaws, clamp the wire rope into a vise with the bottom edge of the black mark made on the wire rope resting just above the vise jaws.
3. Use a suitable tool and cut the cable as shown in the illustration following. For 1/8 in. cable the recom­mended length is 5/8 in. past the end of the sleeve.
4. Unlay the cable strands by gently forcing a screw­driver between the outer strands to unlay the cable. When done properly the outer strands will form a symmetrical basket. Do not straighten out the spiral lay of the strands, unlay any wires that make up the strand, or allow the strands to cross each other inside the sleeve.
2. Twist the sleeve from the clamp kit onto the rope until it is flat against the vise jaws at the mark made made on the wire rope.
5. Install the plug supplied with the kit by placing the plug in the center of the strands starting with the small tapered end of the plug. Use a metal tube (plug driver) and hammer to drive the plug into the sleeve while assuring that the strands are spaced somewhat equally around the plug. Drive the plug until it is firmly seated and no more than 1/3 of the plug is visible from above the sleeve.
3120775 – JLG Lift – 2-33
SECTION 2 - SERVICE PROCEDURES
6. Reclamp the assembly in the vise on the flats of the sleeve. Using the plug driver, a metal tube or pliers, bend the outer strands toward the center strands enough that the socket can be slipped over all the strands.
NOTE: When assembling stainless steel parts all threads
must be coated with a dry lubricant or an anti-sieze lubricant to prevent seizing.
7. Coat the threads of the socket and sleeve with lubri­cant and install the socket by twisting it over the strands of the cable and engage the threads of the sleeve with the socket. Tighten until four threads or fewer are visible. If more than four threads are visi­ble, proof load the cable and retighten the socket fit­ting. (There is no specific requirement for torque.)
8. Inspect for proper assembly prior to loading the cable. Strands visible through the inspection hole are your assurance of a proper assembly.
NOTE: The end of the rope may not be visible in the inspec-
tion hole after loading.
9. Install cable on machine and adjust per instructions shown previously in Section 2.11, MAST CHAINS/ CABLES AND SEQUENCING CABLES ADJUST­MENT

SECTION 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING

SECTION 3. TROUBLESHOOTING

3.1 GENERAL

This section contains troubleshooting information to be used for locating and correcting most of the operating problems which may develop in the aerial platform. If a problem should develop which is not presented in this section or which is not corrected by listed corrective actions, technically qualified guidance should be obtained before proceeding with any maintenance.

3.2 TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION

The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the aerial platform are listed and defined in Table 3-1., DC Unit ­Troubleshooting.
Each malfunction within an individual group or system is followed by a listing of probable causes which will enable determination of the applicable remedial action. The prob­able causes and the remedial action should, where possi­ble, be checked in the order listed in the tables.
It should be noted that there is no substitute for a thor­ough knowledge of the equipment and related systems.
It should be recognized that the majority of the problems arising in the machine will be centered in the hydraulic and electrical systems. For this reason, every effort has been made to ensure that all likely problems in these areas are given the fullest possible treatment. In the remaining machine groups, only those problems which are symptomatic of greater problems which have more than one probable cause and remedy are included. This means that problems for which the probable cause and remedy may be immediately obvious are not listed in this section.
The first rule for troubleshooting any circuit that is hydrau­lically operated and electrically controlled is to determine if the circuit is lacking hydraulic oil and electrical control power. This can be ascertained by overriding the bypass valve (mechanically or electrically) so that oil is available to the function valve, then overriding the function valve mechanically. If the function performs satisfactorily, the problem exists with the control circuit.

3.3 HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT CHECKS

The first reference for improper function of a hydraulic sys­tem, where the cause is not immediately apparent, should be the Hydraulic Diagram Circuit. The best place to begin the problem analysis is at the power source (pump). Once it is determined that the pump is serviceable, then a sys­tematic check of the circuit components, would follow.
NOTE: For aid in troubleshooting, refer to Figure 3-5. for
HYDRAULIC DIAGRAM circuit.

3.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - MULTIMETER BASICS

A wide variety of multimeters or Volt Ohm Meters (VOM) can be used for troubleshooting your equipment. A digital meter with reasonable accuracy (within 7%) is recom­mended for the measurements in these procedures. This section shows diagrams of a common, digital VOM con­figured for several different circuit measurements. Instruc­tions for your VOM may vary. Please consult the meter operator’s manual for more information.

Grounding

"Grounding the meter" means to take the black lead (which is connected to the COM (common) or negative port) and touch it to a good path to the negative side of the voltage source.

Backprobing

To "backprobe" means to take the measurement by accessing a connector’s contact on the same side as the wires, the back of the connector. Readings can be done while maintaining circuit continuity this way. If the connec­tor is the sealed type, great care must be taken to avoid damaging the seal around the wire. It is best to use probes or probe tips specifically designed for this tech­nique, especially on sealed connectors. Whenever possi­ble insert probes into the side of the connector such that the test also checks both terminals of the connection. It is possible to inspect a connection within a closed connec­tor by backprobing both sides of a connector terminal and measuring resistance. Do this after giving each wire a gentle pull to ensure the wires are still attached to the con­tact and contacts are seated in the connector.

Min/Max

Use of the "Min/Max" recording feature of some meters can help when taking measurements of intermittent condi­tions while alone. For example, you can read the voltage applied to a solenoid when it is only operational while a switch, far from the solenoid and meter, is held down.
3120775 – JLG Lift – 3-1
SECTION 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING

Polarity

Finding a negative voltage or current reading when expecting a positive reading frequently means the leads are reversed. Check what reading is expected, the loca­tion of the signal and that the leads are connected to the device under test correctly. Also check that the lead on the "COM" port goes to the ground or negative side of the sig­nal and the lead on the other port goes to the positive side of the signal.

Scale

M = Mega = 1,000,000 * (Displayed Number)
k = kilo = 1,000 * (Displayed Number)
m = milli = (Displayed Number) / 1,000
µ = micro = (Displayed Number) / 1,000,000
Example: 1.2 kΩ = 1200 Ω
Example: 50 mA = 0.05 A

Continuity Measurement Over Long Distances

When trying to determine continuity of a harness or wire, longer than the reach of standard instrument leads, is possible to perform the check without excessively long leads. Using the other wires in the harness one can deter­mine the condition of a particular wire in the harness.

Requirements:

• Harness with at least three separate wires including the wire under test.
• These wires must be able to be isolated from other wires, etc.
• Jumper or method to connect contacts on one side of harness.
• Meter that can measure resistance or continuity.

Procedure

Test multimeter leads resistance. Subtract this value from the measured resistance of the wires to get a more accu­rate measurement.
Consult the circuit schematic to determine which wires to use in addition to wire under test, here called wire #1 and wire #2, and how to isolate these wires. These wires should appear in the same connectors as the wire under test or are within reach of the jumper.
1. Disconnect all connections associated with the wire under test and the two additional wires. If harness is not completely isolated disconnect battery terminals also, as a precaution.
2. Measure continuity between all three wires, the wire under test, wire #1 and wire #2. These should be open. If not, repair the shorted wires or replace the harness.
3. On one side, jumper from contact of wire #1 and wire #2.
4. Measure continuity between wire #1 and wire #2. If there is continuity, both wires are good and can be used for this test. If there is not continuity, either wire could be bad. Check connections and measurement setup. Redo measurement. If still no continuity, repair wires or consult schematic for other wires to use for test.
5. Jumper from wire under test to wire #1.
6. Measure continuity. If there is continuity, the wire under test is good. Resistance of a wire increases as the length increases and as the diameter decreases.
One can find the continuity of two wires, here #1 and #2, at once by following steps 1 through 4. If there is a prob­lem the third wire is used to troubleshoot the other wires. To find the problem, start at step 1 and use the entire pro­cedure.

3.5 ELECTRICAL SWITCH TESTING

Basic Check

The following check determines if the switch is functioning properly, not the circuit in which the switch is placed. A switch is functioning properly when there is continuity between the correct terminals or contacts only when selected.
1. De-energize the circuit.
2. Isolate the switch from the rest of the circuit if possi­ble. If not possible, keep in mind it may affect read­ings.
3. Access the terminals to the switch.
4. If the switch has two terminals:
a. Measure resistance across the terminals.
b. Change the switch position.
c. Measure resistance again with the leads in the
same positions. If the meter was reading short, it should read an open. If the meter was reading open it should read short.
5. If the switch has more than two terminals, consult the schematic or switch diagram to determine what terminals will be connected. The test is similar to testing a switch with two terminals.
a. Place one meter lead on the common contact
and the other on a different contact in the same circuit.
b. Cycle through all positions of the switch. The
meter should read short only when the switch connects the two terminals and open otherwise.
c. If the switch has more than one common contact
repeat the process for that circuit.

Limit Switches

Limit switches are used to control movement or indicate position. Mechanical limit switches are just like manually operated switches except that the moving object operates the switch. These switches can be tested the same way as a standard switch by manually operating the sensing arm.
Another type of limit switch used by JLG is the inductive proximity switch, also referred to as a "prox switch". Induc­tive proximity switches are actuated only by ferrous metal (metal that contains Iron, such as steel) near the switch. They do not require contact, and must be energized to actuate. These types of switches can be used to detect boom or platform position, for example. These switches have a sensing face where the switch can detect ferrous metal close to it. To find the sensing face, take note how the switch is mounted and how the mechanisms meet the switch. Test this type of switch as follows:
SECTION 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Remove prox switch from its mount.
2.
Reconnect harness if it was disconnected for step 1, and turn on machine.
3.
Hold switch away from metal and observe switch state in the control system diagnostics using the Analyzer. See vehicle or control system documenta­tion on how to do this.
4.
Place sensing face of switch on the object to be sensed by the switch. If that is not available, use a piece of ferrous metal physically similar to it. The switch state in the control system diagnostics should change.
5.
When reinstalling or replacing switch be sure to fol­low mounting instructions and properly set the gap between the switch and object sensed.

Automatic Switches

If the switch is actuated automatically, by temperature or pressure for example, find a way to manually actuate the switch to test it. Do this either by applying heat or pres­sure, for example, to the switch. These switches may need to be energized to actuate.
1. Connect instrumentation to monitor and/or control the parameter the switch is measuring.
2. Observe switch state in control system with the Ana­lyzer. See vehicle or control system documentation on how to do this.
3. Operate system such that the switch actuates. This could be going over a certain pressure or tempera­ture, for example. The state indicated in the control system should change.

Switch Wiring - Low Side, High Side

When controlling a load, a switch can be wired between the positive side of the power source and the load. This switch is called a "high side" switch. The switch supplies the power to the load. When a switch is wired between the negative side of the power source and the load, it is a "low side" switch. The switch provides the ground to the load.
A low side switch will allow voltage to be present on the load. No power is applied because the switch is stopping current flow. This voltage can be seen if the measurement is taken with one test lead on the load and the other on the battery negative side or grounded to the vehicle. What is actually being measured is the voltage drop across the switch. This could mislead a technician into thinking the load is receiving power but not operating. To produce an accurate picture of power or voltage applied to the load, measure voltage across the load’s power terminals. Also, the technician can measure the voltage at both power ter­minals with respect to battery ground. The difference between those two measurements is the voltage applied to the load.
