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.
A.B HYDRAULIC 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.
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
This section provides information necessary to perform
maintenance on the scissor 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.
The maintenance procedures included consist of servicing and component removal and installation, disassembly
and assembly, inspection, lubrication and cleaning. Information on any special tools or test equipment is also provided where applicable.
2.2SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDELINES
General
The following information is provided to assist you in the
use and application of servicing and maintenance procedures contained in this chapter.
Safety and Workmanship
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of weight. Never attempt to move heavy
parts without the aid of a mechanical device. Do not allow
heavy objects to rest in an unstable position. When raising
a portion of the equipment, ensure that adequate support
is provided.
Cleanliness
1. The most important single item in preserving the
long service life of a machine is to keep dirt and foreign materials out of the vital components. Precautions have been taken to safeguard against this.
Shields, covers, seals, and filters are provided to
keep air, fuel, and oil supplies clean; however, these
items must be maintained on a scheduled basis in
order to function properly.
2. At any time when air, fuel, or oil lines are disconnected, clear adjacent areas as well as the openings
and fittings themselves. As soon as a line or component is disconnected, cap or cover all openings to
prevent entry of foreign matter.
3. Clean and inspect all parts during servicing or maintenance, and assure that all passages and openings
are unobstructed. Cover all parts to keep them
clean. Be sure all parts are clean before they are
installed. New parts should remain in their containers until they are ready to be used.
Components Removal and Installation
4. 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.
5. 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°.
6. 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
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.
3121111– JLG Lift –2-1
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
3. If a bearing is found to be serviceable, apply a light
coat of oil and wrap it in clean (waxed) paper. Do not
unwrap reusable or new bearings until they are
ready to install.
4. Lubricate new or used serviceable bearings before
installation. When pressing a bearing into a retainer
or bore, apply pressure to the outer race. If the bearing is to be installed on a shaft, apply pressure to the
inner race.
Gaskets
Check that holes in gaskets align with openings in the
mating parts. If it becomes necessary to hand-fabricate a
gasket, use gasket material or stock of equivalent material
and thickness. Be sure to cut holes in the right location, as
blank gaskets can cause serious system damage.
Bolt Usage and Torque Application
1. Use bolts of proper length. A bolt which is too long
will bottom before the head is tight against its related
part. If a bolt is too short, there will not be enough
thread area to engage and hold the part properly.
When replacing bolts, use only those having the
same specifications of the original, or one which is
equivalent.
2. Unless specific torque requirements are given within
the text, standard torque values should be used on
heat-treated bolts, studs, and steel nuts, in accordance with recommended shop practices.
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 is 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.
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., using inadequate hydraulic oil, allowing
moisture, grease, filings, sealing components, sand,
etc., to enter when performing maintenance, or by
permitting the pump to cavitate due to insufficient
system warm-up or leaks in the pump supply (suction) lines.
2. The design and manufacturing tolerances of the
component working parts are very close, therefore,
even the smallest amount of dirt or foreign matter
entering a system can cause wear or damage to the
components and generally results in faulty operation. Every precaution must be taken to keep
hydraulic oil clean, including reserve oil in storage.
Hydraulic system filters should be checked,
cleaned, and/or replaced as necessary, at the specified intervals required in the Lubrication Chart in
Section 1 and the Preventive Maintenance and
Inspection Chart in this section. 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, except as recommended, 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.
2-2– JLG Lift –3121111
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Hydraulic Oil
1. Refer to Section1 for recommendations for viscosity
ranges.
2. JLG recommends Mobilfluid 424, 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° F (-26° 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° F (-26 ° C).
3. The only exception to the above is to drain and fill
the system with Mobil DTE 11 oil or its equivalent.
This will allow start up at temperatures down to -20 °
F (-29° C). However, use of this oil will give poor performance at temperatures above 120° F (49° C). Systems using DTE 11 oil should not be operated at
temperatures above 200°F (94°C). under any condition.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Use of any of the recommended crankcase or
hydraulic oils eliminates the need for changing the
oil on a regular basis. However, filter elements must
be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and
every 300 hours thereafter. If it is necessary to
change the oil, use only those oils meeting or
exceeding the specifications appearing in this manual. If unable to obtain the same type of oil supplied
with the machine, consult local supplier for assistance in selecting the proper equivalent. Avoid mixing petroleum and synthetic base oils. JLG
Industries recommends changing the hydraulic oil
every two years.
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.
2.4CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
The steer cylinder is of the double acting type. The steer
system incorporates a double acting cylinder. 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.
The lift cylinder is a single acting type. It does not require
oil when the cylinder is being retracted. The CRT is a gravity down machine.
A holding valve is used in the Lift circuit to prevent retraction of the cylinder rod should a hydraulic line rupture or a
leak develop between the cylinder and its related control
valve.
2.5VALVES - THEORY OF OPERATION
Solenoid Control Valves (Bang-Bang)
Control valves used are four-way three-position solenoid
valves of the sliding spool design. When a circuit is activated and the control valve solenoid energizes, the spool
is shifted and the corresponding work port opens to permit oil flow to the component in the selected circuit, with
the opposite work port opening to reservoir. Once the circuit is deactivated (control returned to neutral), the valve
spool returns to neutral (center) and oil flow is then
directed through the valve body and returns to reservoir. 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
The proportional control 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 con-
3121111– JLG Lift –2-3
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
stant. 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 within the
hydraulic system to protect associated systems and components against excessive pressure. Excessive pressure
can be developed when a cylinder reaches its limit of
travel and the flow of pressurized fluid continues from the
system control. The relief valve provides an alternate path
for the continuing flow from the pump, thus preventing
rupture of the cylinder, hydraulic line or fitting. Complete
failure of the system pump is also avoided by relieving circuit pressure. The relief valve is installed in the circuit
between the pump outlet (pressure line) and the cylinder
of the circuit, generally as an integral part of the system
valve bank. Relief pressures are set slightly higher than
the load requirement, with the valve diverting excess
pump delivery back to the reservoir when operating pressure of the component is reached.
Crossover Relief Valves
Crossover relief valves are used in circuits where the actuator requires an operating pressure lower than that supplied to the system. When the circuit is activated and the
required pressure at the actuator is developed, the crossover relief diverts excess pump flow to the reservoir. Individual, integral reliefs are provided for each side of the
circuit.
2.6COMPONENT FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic Pump
The machine is equipped with two hydraulic pumps, a
function pump and a drive pump. The function pump is a
two-section gear pump that controls the lift and steer functions and provides a maximum output of 7.6 gpm (28.8
lpm). The drive pump is a single-section piston pump that
controls the drive function and provides an output of 22
gpm (83.3 lpm).
Lift Cylinder Counterbalance/Manual
Descent Valve
The lift cylinder counterbalance/manual descent valve is
located on top of the lift cylinder. The counterbalance
valve is used to hold the platform in place when raised. A
cable is connected to the valve which, when pulled, manually opens the lift down port and allows the platform to be
lowered in the event hydraulic power is lost.
2.7WEAR PADS
Sliding Pads
The original thickness of the sliding pads is 1 inches (25
mm). Replace sliding pads when worn to.875 inches (22
mm).

2.19 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND
INSPECTION SCHEDULE
The preventive maintenance and inspection checks are
listed and defined in the following table. This table is
divided into two basic parts, the “AREA” to be inspected
and the “INTERVAL” at which the inspection is to take
place. Under the “AREA” portion of the table, the various
systems along with the components that make up that
system are listed. The “INTERVAL” portion of the table is
divided into five columns representing the various inspection time periods. The numbers listed within the interval
column represent the applicable inspection code for
which that component is to be checked.
The checks and services listed in this schedule are not
intended to replace any local or regional regulations that
may pertain to this type of equipment nor should the lists
be considered as all inclusive. Variances in interval times
may occur due to climate and/or conditions and depending on the location and use of the machine.
JLG Industries requires that a complete annual inspection
be performed in accordance with the “Annual Machine
Inspection Report” form. Forms are supplied with each
new machine and are also available from JLG Customer
Service. Form must be completed and returned to JLG
Industries.
The inspection and maintenance code numbers are as follows:
1. Check for proper and secure installation.
2. Check for visible damage and legibility.
3. Check for proper fluid level.
4. Check for any structural damage; cracked or broken
welds; bent or warped surfaces.
5. Check for leakage.

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 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.
Troubleshooting and maintenance information pertaining
to the prime mover (engine/motor) that are not contained
in this manual are contained in the applicable engine
maintenance manual.
3.2TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the aerial
platform are listed and defined in Tables 3-1 through 3-4.
As an aid to table use, the platform sizzor is divided into 4
major groups, each covered separately within this section.
These groups are as follows: Platform, chassis, hydraulic
system and electrical system.
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 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
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 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 first 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 diagram of the
various circuits.
