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/OPERATOR.
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 feed lines to system components
can then be disconnected with minimal fluid loss.

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
2.1GENERAL
1. This section provides information necessary to perform maintenance on the sizzor lift. 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.
2. 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.
2. At any time when hydraulic 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.
Component 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.
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 oil supplies clean; however, these items must
be maintained on a scheduled basis in order to function properly.
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.
3120768– JLG Sizzor –2-1
Page 14
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
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 be installed.
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.
Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring
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.
Lubrication and Servicing
Components and assemblies requiring lubrication and
servicing are shown 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.; 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.
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 at the specified intervals
required in Section 1. Always examine filters for evidence of metal particles.
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.
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
Lubrication
Service applicable components with the amount, type,
and grade of lubricant recommended in this manual, at
the specified interval. When recommended lubricants are
not available, consult your local supplier for an equivalent
that meets or exceeds the specifications listed.
2-2– JLG Sizzor–3120768
1. Refer to Lubrication Specification Table for recommendations for viscosity ranges.
2. JLG recommends Kendall Hyken 052 Hydraulic Oil,
which has an SAE viscosity of 10W-20 and a viscosity index of 152.
Page 15
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system with oil temperatures
below -15° F 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° F.
3. The only exception to the above is to drain and fill
the system with Mobil DTE13 oil or its equivalent.
This will allow start up at temperatures down to -20°
F. However, use of this oil will give poor performance
at temperatures above 120° F. Systems using DTE13
oil should not be operated at temperatures above
200° F under any condition.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Use of any of the recommended hydraulic oils eliminates the need for changing the oil on a regular
basis. However, filter elements must be changed
after the first 40 hours of operation and every 250
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.
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 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.
2.4CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
1. Cylinders are of the double acting type. The Lift and
Steer systems incorporate double acting cylinders.
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 circuits to prevent
retraction of the cylinder rod should a hydraulic line
rupture or leak develop between the cylinder and its
related control valve.
2.5VALVES - THEORY OF OPERATION
Control Valves
It consists of cartridge type valves in an anodized aluminum manifold. The cartridge valves provide for control of
flow, volume of flow and pressure in the hydraulic system.
The directional control valves are solenoid operated, three
position, 4-way sliding spool type valves. One valve is provided for each of the two functions. Energizing one of the
electrical coils on a valve will divert the supply of hydraulic
oil to provide motion of that function in one direction.
Energizing the other coil will divert the oil for motion in the
other direction. When neither coil is energized, the supply
of hydraulic oil is blocked.
Flow control valves in the lift circuits provide for control of
the rate of flow when the oil is flowing out of the cap ends
of the cylinders (the load is being lowered). An adjusting
screw on each cartridge flow control valve allows the rate
of flow (speed) to be adjusted. When oil is flowing into the
cap end of the lift cylinders, an internal check valve feature
allows unrestricted flow.
Pressure relief valves limit the pressure in the steer circuit
and the rod end of each lift cylinder. When the pressure in
one of those circuits reaches the set point of the valve, the
valve opens, allowing enough flow to return to the reservoir so that the set pressure is not exceeded. An adjusting
screw on each cartridge relief valve allows the set pressure to be adjusted.
The aluminum manifold provides the passages through
which the hydraulic oil is diverted to provide the desired
movement of the actuators. No moving parts of the valves
slide against the manifold and so it is not subject to wear.

2.8MOTOR CONTROLLER - MODES OF
OPERATION
Traction Motor Drive
Drive in either forward or reverse will start only if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. Function switches off.
Pump Motor Drive
Pump motor drive will start only if the following conditions
are satisfied:
1. FWD and REV switch off.
2. Traction mode off (brake applied).
3. TEB operate
The function is selected in a 3-second window after the
TEB has been momentarily CLOSED.
The function is selected in a 10-second window after the
TEB has been permanently CLOSED.
Another function was operated less than 3-seconds
before.
Pump drive shall only be enabled when the direction
selector inputs are in neutral and the machine is stationary. Once pump drive mode has been entered, then the
status of the direction selector inputs shall no longer interlock pump operation. If a direction switch is selected during pump drive, a procedure fault will occur when the
function switch is no longer selected, remaining until both
directions and the function switch are no longer selected.
2.9FEATURES
2. No procedure or diagnostic faults present.
3. TEB operate
The function is selected in a 3-second window after the
TEB has been momentary closed.
The function is selected in a 10-second window after the
TEB has been permanently closed.
Another function was operated less than 3-seconds
before.
4. FWD or REV selected as appropriate.
Once in “drive” mode, activating a function switch shall
not cause drive mode to be exited, the pump/traction contactor drive shall not be energized it will be left at the traction position. If a function switch is selected during
traction, a procedure fault will occur when neutral is
selected, remaining until a function switch and both directions are no longer selected.
When neutral is selected, the controller will control
smooth stopping of the machine, using plug braking,
before the electric brake is allowed to operate.
If a function switch is activated in neutral, when the vehicle
has stopped and the brake is applied, then pump mode
will become operational.
Features in Traction Mode
Maximum Speed Control.
The controller incorporates a function to limit the maximum speed of the machine to a percentage of maximum
possible speed. The function operates in such a manner
as to control vehicle speed by limiting the percentage on
of the switching device to keep the machine speed below
the maximum permitted value or, if required, to apply variable plug braking to restrict machine speed when traveling down a grade. The speed is controlled based on the
percentage of accelerator input.
Features in Pump Mode
1. Proportional Control of Pump Motor Speed - The
pump motor speed shall be controlled by varying
the percentage on of the switching element in relation to a separate pump accelerator input.
2. Soft Start - The pump motor speed control incorporates a “soft start” facility by applying acceleration
delay to changes in the applied percentage on of
the switching element.

operation is suspected.
Cylinder Without Counterbalance Valves
(Steer)
1. Using all applicable safety precautions, activate
hydraulic system and fully extend cylinder to be
checked. Shut down hydraulic system.
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 initial discharge, there should be no further
leakage from the retract port.
2. Raise platform completely and place a suitable overhead lifting device approximately 1 in (2.5 cm) below
the platform.
3. After completing the above, shut down hydraulic
system and allow machine to sit for 10-15 minutes.
This is done to relieve pressure in the hydraulic
lines. Carefully remove hydraulic hoses from appropriate cylinder port block.
4. There will be initial weeping of hydraulic fluid, which
can be caught in a suitable container. After the initial
discharge, there should not be any further leakage
from the ports. If leakage continues at a rate of 6-8
drops per minute or more, the following cylinder
repairs must be made. If the retract port is leaking,
the piston is leaking, the piston seals are defective
and must be replaced. If the extend port is leaking,
the counterbalance is defective and must be
replaced.
5. If no repairs are necessary or when repairs have
been made, carefully reconnect hydraulic hoses to
the appropriate ports.
6. Remove lifting device from platform, activate hydraulic system and run cylinder through complete cycle
to check for leaks and operation.

SECTION 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
SECTION 3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1GENERAL
This section contains troubleshooting information to be
used for locating and correcting most of the operating
problems which may develop. 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.
3.2TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
1. The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the
aerial platform are listed and defined in Tables 9-1
through 9-4. As an aid to table use, the aerial platform is divided into four major groups, each covered
separately within this section. These groups are as
follows: elevation system, chassis assembly,
hydraulic system and electrical system.
2. 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.
3. It should be noted that there is no substitute for a
thorough knowledge of the equipment and related
systems.
4. 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 that 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.
5. 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.
3.3HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT CHECKS
The reference for improper function of a hydraulic system,
where the cause is not immediately apparent, should be
the Troubleshooting Chart. 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, beginning with the
control, would follow. For aid in troubleshooting, refer to
the Illustrated Parts Manual for hydraulic diagrams of the
various circuits.

occur. recycle the emergency stop switch to recover.
NOTE: All flash codes must be checked with unit switched to platform control
* If speed switch is turned 25% - 50% toward full speed, Sevcon controller will give a 2 flash fault indicating a procedure
fault. If, while 2 flash fault is being indicated, the speed control knob is turned to less then 25% the 2 flash fault will stop
and LED will come on steady, indicating controller operational.
