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.
BHYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems
operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should be made to relieve any system
pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any portion of
the system.
CMAINTENANCE
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN
THIS SECTION MAY RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSONNEL
INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
• NO SMOKING IS MANDATORY. NEVER REFUEL DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS. ENSURE THAT FUEL
CAP IS CLOSED AND SECU RE AT ALL OTHER
TIMES.
• REMOVE ALL RINGS, WATCHES AND JEWELRY
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
• DO NOT WEAR LONG HAIR UNRESTRAINED, OR
LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING AND NECKTIES WHICH
ARE APT TO BECOME CAUGHT ON OR ENTANGLED
IN EQUIPMENT.
• OBSERVE AND OBEY ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MACHINE AND IN SERVICEMANUAL.
• KEEP OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC. WIPED FROM
STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS.
• USE CAUTION WHEN CHECKING A HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT SYSTEM.
• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED BOOM UNTIL
BOOM HAS BEEN SA FELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY
MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING,
OR BOOM SAFETY PROP HAS BEEN ENGAGED.
• BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR
PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE, SHUT
OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS.
• BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTEDDURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
• KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACHMENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.
• USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING
SOLVENTS.
Relieve system pressure by cycling the applicable control
several times with the engine stopped and ignition on, to
direct any line pressure back into the reservoir. Pressure
feed lines to system components can then be disconnected with minimal fluid loss.

EAL224H has a viscosity of 34 cST at 40° C and a viscosity
index of 213. The operating range of this oil is -18° C to
+83° C.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MOBIL EAL224H HYDRAULIC OIL BE
STORED ABOVE FREEZING (0° C) AS THE OIL MAY APPEAR
CLOUDY AFTER EXPOSURE TO LOW TEMPERATURES FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE CLOUDINESS WILL DISAPPEAR
WHEN THE OIL IS WARMED TO AT LEAST 10° C AND AGITATED. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO "THIN" THE OIL WITH NO.2 DIESEL FUEL. FOR
BEST RESULTS, STORE THE OIL ABOVE FREEZING.
* Check swing bearing bolts for security after first 50
hours of operation and every 600 hours thereafter.

NOTES:KEY TO LUBRICANTS
Lubrication intervals are based on machine operation under normal conditions. For machines used in multi shift operations and/or exposed to hostile environments or conditions, lubrication frequencies must be increased accordingly.
* If necessary install grease fittings into worm gear housing and grease bearings.
DO NOT OVERGREASE BEARINGS. OVERGREASING BEARINGS WILL RESULT IN
BLOWING OUTER SEAL IN HOUSING.
**When changing oil in the Deutz oil cooled engine, drain both the crankcase and the cooler. When refilling it is acceptable to overfill crankcase (10.5 L),
capacity of both crankcase and cooler combined). Start engine, allow the engine to run until the thermostat opens (approximately 105 degrees C) cooler will
fill up within minutes; shut down and wait for approximately two minutes. Check oil level, fill oil to max marking on dipstick.

2.2SERVICE AND 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.
nent is disconnected, cap or cover all openings to
prevent entry of foreign matter.
3. Clean and inspect all parts during servicing or maintenance, and assure that all passages and openings
are unobstructed. Cover all parts to keep them
clean. Be sure all parts are clean before they are
installed. New parts should remain in their containers until they are ready to be used.
Components Removal and Installation
1. Use adjustable lifting devices, whenever possible, if
mechanical assistance is required. All slings (chains,
cables, etc.) should be parallel to each other and as
near perpendicular as possible to top of part being
lifted.
2. Should it be necessary to remove a component on
an angle, keep in mind that the capacity of an eyebolt or similar bracket lessens, as the angle between
the supporting structure and the component
becomes less than 90 degrees.
3. If a part resists removal, check to see whether all
nuts, bolts, cables, brackets, wiring, etc., have been
removed and that no adjacent parts are interfering.
Component Disassembly and Reassembly
When disassembling or reassembling a component, complete the procedural steps in sequence. Do not partially
disassemble or assemble one part, then start on another.
Always recheck your work to assure that nothing has been
overlooked. Do not make any adjustments, other than
those recommended, without obtaining proper approval.
Pressure-Fit Parts
When assembling pressure-fit parts, use an anti-seize or
molybdenum disulfide base compound to lubricate the
mating surface.
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 compo-

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Bearings
1. When a bearing is removed, cover it to keep out dirt
and abrasives. Clean bearings in nonflammable
cleaning solvent and allow to drip dry. Compressed
air can be used but do not spin the bearing.
2. Discard bearings if the races and balls (or rollers)
are pitted, scored, or burned.
3. If bearing is found to be serviceable, apply a light
coat of oil and wrap it in clean (waxed) paper. Do not
unwrap reusable or new bearings until they are
ready to install.
4. Lubricate new or used serviceable bearings before
installation. When pressing a bearing into a retainer
or bore, apply pressure to the outer race. If the bearing is to be installed on a shaft, apply pressure to the
inner race.
Gaskets
Check that holes in gaskets align with openings in the
mating parts. If it becomes necessary to hand-fabricate a
gasket, use gasket material or stock of equivalent material
and thickness. Be sure to cut holes in the right location, as
blank gaskets can cause serious system damage.
Bolt Usage and Torque Application
Hydraulic System
1. Keep the system clean. If evidence of metal or rubber particles are found in the hydraulic system, drain
and flush the entire system.
2. Disassemble and reassemble parts on clean work
surface. Clean all metal parts with non-flammable
cleaning solvent. Lubricate components, as
required, to aid assembly.
Lubrication
Service applicable components with the amount, type,
and grade of lubricant recommended in this manual, at
the specified intervals. When recommended lubricants are
not available, consult your local supplier for an equivalent
that meets or exceeds the specifications listed.
Battery
Clean battery, using a non-metallic brush and a solution of
baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water. After
cleaning, thoroughly dry battery and coat terminals with
an anti corrosion compound.
Lubrication and Servicing
Components and assemblies requiring lubrication and
servicing are shown in the Lubrication Chart in Section 1.
1. Use bolts of proper length. A bolt which is too long
will bottom before the head is tight against its related
part. If a bolt is too short, there will not be enough
thread area to engage and hold the part properly.
When replacing bolts, use only those having the
same specifications of the original, or one which is
equivalent.
2. Unless specific torque requirements are given within
the text, standard torque values should be used on
heat-treated bolts, studs, and steel nuts, in accordance with recommended shop practices. (See
Torque Chart Section 1.)
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.
2.3LUBRICATION AND INFORMATION
Hydraulic System
1. The primary enemy of a hydraulic system is contamination. Contaminants enter the system by various
means, e.g., using inadequate hydraulic oil, allowing
moisture, grease, filings, sealing components, sand,
etc., to enter when performing maintenance, or by
permitting the pump to cavitate due to insufficient
system warm-up or leaks in the pump supply (suction) lines.
2. The design and manufacturing tolerances of the
component working parts are very close, therefore,
even the smallest amount of dirt or foreign matter
entering a system can cause wear or damage to the
components and generally results in faulty operation. Every precaution must be taken to keep
hydraulic oil clean, including reserve oil in storage.
Hydraulic system filters should be checked,
cleaned, and/or replaced as necessary, at the specified intervals required in the Lubrication Chart in
Section 1. Always examine filters for evidence of
metal particles.
2-2– JLG Lift –3120869
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
3. Cloudy oils indicate a high moisture content which
permits organic growth, resulting in oxidation or corrosion. If this condition occurs, the system must be
drained, flushed, and refilled with clean oil.
4. It is not advisable to mix oils of different brands or
types, as they may not contain the same required
additives or be of comparable viscosities. Good
grade mineral oils, with viscosities suited to the
ambient temperatures in which the machine is operating, are recommended for use.
NOTE: Metal particles may appear in the oil or filters of new
machines due to the wear-in of meshing components.
Hydraulic Oil
1. Refer to Section 1 for recommendations for viscosity
ranges.
2. JLG recommends Mobilfluid 424 hydraulic oil, which
has an SAE viscosity of 10W-30 and a viscosity
index of 152.
NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system with oil temperatures
below -26 de grees C (- 15 degrees 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 -26 degrees C (-15 degrees F).
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 -29
degrees C (-20 degrees F). However, use of this oil
will give poor performance at temperatures above49
degrees C (120 degrees F). Systems using DTE 11
oil should not be operated at temperatures above 94
degrees C (200 degrees F) under any condition.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Use of any of the recommended crankcase or
hydraulic oils eliminates the need for changing the
oil on a regular basis. However, filter elements must
be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and
every 300 hours thereafter. If it is necessary to
change the oil, use only those oils meeting or
exceeding the specifications appearing in this manual. If unable to obtain the same type of oil supplied
with the machine, consult local supplier for assistance in selecting the proper equivalent. Avoid mixing petroleum and synthetic base oils. JLG
Industries recommends changing the hydraulic oil
annually.
nants from the service container. Always clean the
mesh element of the filter and replace the cartridge
any time the system oil is changed.
3. While the unit is shut down, a good preventive maintenance measure is to make a thorough inspection
of all hydraulic components, lines, fittings, etc., as
well as a functional check of each system, before
placing the machine back in service.
Lubrication Specifications
Specified lubricants, as recommended by the component
manufacturers, are always the best choice, however,
multi-purpose greases usually have the qualities which
meet a variety of single purpose grease requirements.
Should any question arise, regarding the use of greases in
maintenance stock, consult your local supplier for evaluation. Refer to Section 1 for an explanation of the lubricant
key designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.
2.4CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
Systems Incorporating Double Acting
Cylinders
Cylinders are of the double acting type. Systems incorporating double acting cylinders are as follows: Slave Level,
Master Level, Lift, Telescope, Axle Lockout and Steer. 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 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.
Systems Incorporating Holding Valves
Holding valves are used in the - Lift, Telescope, Lockout,
and Slave Level circuits to prevent retraction of the cylinder rod should a hydraulic line rupture or a leak develop
between the cylinder and its related control valve.
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 contami-
3120869– JLG Lift –2-3
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
2.5VALVES - THEORY OF OPERATION
Solenoid Control Valve
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 consist 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 spring loaded
to center position, therefore when the control is released,
the spool automatically returns to neutral, prohibiting any
flow through the circuit.
Relief Valves
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.
2.6BOOM MAINTENANCE
IF PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE BOOM, DO NOT USE A
LIFTING DEVICE TO LIFT THE BOOMS UNLESS THE HOLDING
VALVES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FIRST. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE BOOM.

the mounting flange, gear housing and end cover.
This will assure proper reassembly and rotation of
pump.
4. Remove key from drive shaft if applicable.
8. Lift and remove end cover.
9. Carefully remove gear housing and place on work
bench. Make sure the rear bearing block remains on
the drive and idler shafts.
5. Clamp the mounting flange in a protected jaw vise
with the pump shaft facing down.
6. Loosen the four metric hex head bolts.
7. Remove pump from vise and place on clean work
bench, remove the four hex head bolts and spacers
if applicable.

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Inspect Parts For Wear
1. Clean and dry all parts thoroughly prior to inspection. It is not necessary to inspect the seals as they
will be placed as new items.
2. Check drive shaft spine for twisted or broken teeth,
check keyed drive shaft for broken or chipped keyway. No marks or grooves on shaft in seal area,
some discoloration of shaft is allowable.
3. Inspect both the drive gear shaft and idler gear
shafts at the bearing points and seal area for rough
surfaces and excessive wear.
4. Inspect gear face for scoring or excessive wear. If
the face edge of gear teeth are sharp, they will mill
into the bearing blocks. If wear has occurred, the
parts are unusable.
5. Inspect bearing blocks for excessive wear or scoring
on the surfaces which are in contact with the gears.
Also inspect the bearings for excessive wear or scoring.
6. Inspect the area inside the gear housing. It is normal
for the surface inside the gear housing to show a
clean "wipe" on the inside surface on the intake side.
There should not be excessive wear or deep
scratches and gouges.

General Information
It is important that the relationship of the mounting flange,
bearing blocks and gear housing is correct. Failure to
properly assemble this pump will result with little or no
flow at rated pressure.
Reverse Shaft Rotation of Pump
NOTE: This pump is not bi-rotational, if the shaft rotation
must be changed the following procedure must be
followed.
Reversing the shaft rotation of the "W" series gear pump
may be accomplished by rotating, as a group, the two
bearing blocks and the gear housing 180° in relationship
to the remaining parts of the pump. This procedure will
place the pressure port on the opposite side of the pump
from its original position.

3. Place front and back bearing blocks on a clean surface with the E-seal grooves facing up. Apply a light
coating of petroleum jelly in the grooves. Also coat
the E-seal and backup with the petroleum jelly, this
will help keep the seals in place during reassembly.
4. Place the E-seals, flat side outward, into the grooves
in both bearing blocks. Follow by carefully placing
the backup ring, flat side outward, in the groove
made by the E-seal and the groove in the bearing
block. (Note: in the W900 series pump, in the center
of the backup ring and E-seal there is a notch make
sure that these notches line up so the backup ring
will set flush with the E-seal). The backup ring in the
W1500 pump is symmetrical.

2.22 THROTTLE CHECKS AND
ADJUSTMENTS - DEUTZ ENGINE
General
The throttle control system on the Deutz engine includes
the positional controller and the actuator.
Four LEDs are incorporated in the controller. They are as
follows:
• Red - failure: signals a problem with the system needs service or adjustment
• Green - clutch engaged; operation normal while system is powered.
• Amber - motor extend
• Amber - motor retract
The controller is designed so that when the system voltage reaches 10.5 volts, the actuator clutch will be
released and the motor drive turned off in order to prevent
unpredictable operation from occurring.
When a failure condition occurs (i.e. position time-out) the
controller will release the clutch and turn off the actuator
motor. This will prevent unnecessary motor wear.

2.23 DRIVE AND STEER CONTROLLER
Controller Theory & Definitions
This controller is specifically designed and manufactured
to provide a proportional output to a SUNDSTRAND Dual
Coil electro-hydraulic valve. The controller you are about
to calibrate has the following features:
PWM Output (Pulse \Width Modulation)
The SUNDSTRAND valve being driven by this controller
requires an electrical current, between 20 and 130 milliamps in order to shift the valve spool from minimum to
maximum flow. Because of the mass of the spool, shifting
it a very small distance would be very difficult to do without overshooting the mark. This overshoot is called hysteresis and makes precise control of the function very
difficult. PWM output provides a pulsed current to the
spool which actually vibrates the spool so that it is never
at rest and very easy to shift. This controller pulses the
spool 100 times (cycles) per second and as you move the
handle, the electronics change the time period the pulse
is on within that cycle. As you move the handle away from
center, the on time period or width of the cycle pulse will
increase and as you move the handle back towards the
center, the pulse will decrease. The percentage of on time
to off time of the PWM signal is called the Duty Cycle, if it
is on for 80% we call that an 80% duty cycle.
Current Regulated Output
This controller output is also current regulated. This controller was designed to output from 20 to 130 milliamps
through a 17 Q coil using a 12 volt supply. Ohms Law dictates that the Current is always equal Voltage divided by
Resistance. If the supply voltage or the coil resistance
should change, Ohms Law dictates that the output current
must also change which will affect the speed of the function accordingly. Because this controller is equipped with
a current regulated output, it senses a change in voltage
or resistance in the circuit and adjusts the duty cycle of
the PWM signal so that the output current remains a constant current. Because the Current is constant and Resistance is machine dependent, the duty cycle will vary in an
attempt to supply the required level of output. This feature
ensures that the function speed the operator wishes to
select always remains the same, within the limits of Ohms
Law.
Dual Range
This controller is capable of providing two, independently
adjustable, maximum output ranges with the same
amount of handle travel. The Hi Range would normally be
adjusted for full flow (maximum function speed) of the
valve at full handle travel. The LO Range would provide
some potion of the Hi Range setting, providing reduced oil
flow to the valve, with the handle at full travel. LO Range
provides the operator with excellent control of the proportional function with increased resolution for precise
maneuverability.
Both outputs are linear between the Threshold setting and
their respective setting. The controller is in the Hi Range
mode when 12 volts is applied to the (R) terminal. As a fail
safe, when system voltage is removed from the (R) terminal, the Lo Range feature is active.
I.R.S (Integrated Ramp System)
This controller is calibrated to provide a maximum ramp
time of 2 seconds. This feature limits the rate of change of
the output, eliminating a jerky response associated with
sudden handle movements. Any change in handle position will result in a smooth change in function speed. The
2 seconds is measured between the Threshold and Hi or
LO range setting.

Figure 2-35. Drive and Steer Adjustment
R.T.O. (Ramp Thru Off)
This controller is configured with an enhanced ramp feature that allows the handle to released or moved from one
handle extreme to the other without canceling the ramp
duration. The RTO duration is factory set to 2 seconds
Adjustment Procedures
NOTE: The following procedures are for a preliminary
adjustment. Final Adjustments are to be based on
the function speed of the operation.
NOTE: The trimpot adjustment screws are multi turn
devices. No harm can come to the trimpot if it is
turned too much. The trimpot will "click" when the
wiper is at the end of the element. It may be necessary to turn the adjustment screw several turns to
observe a change in the output.
The most reliable measure of the performance of the function you are fine tuning is to monitor your adjustments
until the desired speed is achieved. Have the machine
fully operational in an area where obstacles are not
present. Use your meter to monitor the current output,
and record that number once you have set the function to
the proper speed.
The EMS4M11100 is equipped with a ramping option.
Adjustment and calibration may be difficult due to outputs
ramping up to their set level. When making adjustments,
let the output stabilize before recording that setting.
The Drive/Steer controller is set by Milliamps. To adjust the
Drive/Steer controller, turn the trimpots clockwise to
increase and counterclockwise to decrease milliamps. All
of the trimpots are 25 turn type.
1. At the platform control box install an amp meter
inline between the orange wires at terminal #10 for
forward and terminal #11 for reverse.
2. The threshold trimpot is set at 15 to 25 ma. The Low
Range trimpot is set at 60 ma. The High range trimpot is set at 130 ma. To set the Threshold trimpot,
stroke the joystick until the red LED glows. With the
function speed control off of the snail position,
adjust the trimpot to 15 to 25 ma. This should be just
enough amperage to start the drive wheels moving.
3. Adjust the High Range trimpot. Stroke the joystick
fully with the function speed control off of the snail
position. Turn the trimpot until 130 ma is displayed
on the meter.
4. Adjust the Low Range trimpot. With the joystick fully
stroked and the function speed control at the snail
position, adjust the Low Range trimpot until the
meter reads 60 ma.
NOTE: Milliamp readings should be the same for Drive for-
ward and reverse.
5. Adjust Ramp to provide a smooth start and stop
function.

2.25 FUNCTION CONTROL
Rotary Selector Controller Theory &
Definitions
This Rotary Selector Controller is specifically designed
and manufactured to provide a proportional output to a
HYDRAFORCE flow control electro-hydraulic valve. The
Rotary Selector Controller you are about to calibrate has
the following features:
PWM Output (Pulse Width Modulation)
The HYDRAFORCE valve being driven by this Rotary
Selector Controller requires an electrical current, between
360 and 1400 milliamps in order to shift the valve spool
from minimum to maximum flow. Because of the mass of
the spool, shifting it a very small distance would be very
difficult to do without overshooting the mark. This overshoot is called hysteresis and makes precise control of
the function very difficult. PWM output provides a pulsed
current to the spool which actually vibrates the spool so
that it is never at rest and very easy to shift. This Rotary
Selector Controller pulses the spool 130 times (cycles)
per second and as you move the handle, the electronics
change the time period the pulse is on within that cycle.
As you move the handle away from center, the on time
period or width of the cycle pulse will increase and as you
move the handle back towards the center, the pulse will
decrease. The percentage of on time to off time of the
PWM signal is called the Duty Cycle, if it is on for 80% we
call that an 80% duty cycle.
3120869– JLG Lift –2-53
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Current Regulated Output
This Rotary Selector Controller output is also current regulated. This Rotary Selector Controller was designed to output from 360 to 1400 milliamps through a 4.7 ohm coil
using a 12 volt supply. Ohms Law dictates that the Current
is always equal to Voltage divided by Resistance. If the
supply voltage or the coil resistance should change,
Ohms Law dictates that the output current must also
change which will affect the speed of the function accordingly. Because this Rotary Selector Controller is equipped
with a current regulated output, it senses a change in voltage or resistance in the circuit and adjusts the duty cycle
of the PWM signal so that the output current remains a
constant current. Because the Current is constant and
Resistance is machine dependent, the duty cycle will vary
in an attempt to supply the required level of output. This
feature ensures that the function speed the operator
wishes to select always remains the same, within the limits
of Ohms Law.
Dual Range
This Rotary Selector Controller is capable of providing
two, independently adjustable, maximum output ranges
with the same amount of handle travel. The Hi Range
would normally be adjusted for full flow (maximum function speed) of the valve at full handle travel. The LO Range
would provide some portion of the Hi Range setting, providing reduced oil flow to the valve, with the handle at full
travel. LO Range provides the operator with excellent control of the proportional function with increased resolution
for precise maneuverability. Both outputs are linear
between the Threshold setting and their respective setting. The Rotary Selector Controller is in the Hi Range
mode when 12 volts is applied to the (R) terminal. As a fail
safe, when system voltage is removed from the (R) terminal, the Lo Range feature is active.
I.R.S (Integrated Ramp System)
This Rotary Selector Controller is calibrated to provide a
maximum ramp time of 3 seconds. This feature limits the
rate of change of the output, eliminating a jerky response
associated with sudden handle movements. Any change
in handle position will result in a smooth change in function speed. The 3 seconds is measured between the
Threshold and Hi or LO range setting.

2.28 HYDRAULIC COMPONENT START-UP
PROCEDURES AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
From a hydrostatic component standpoint, the goal at
system start up is to put into functional operation, the
hydrostatic system in such a way as to preserve the
designed life span of the system. The following start-up
procedure should be adhered to whenever a new pump
or motor is initially installed into a machine, or a system is
restarted after either a pump or motor has been removed
and/or replaced.
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MAY REQUIRE THE MACHINE TO
BE DISABLED (WHEELS RAISED OFF THE GROUND, WORK
FUNCTIONS DISCONNECTED, ETC.) WHILE PERFORMING THE
PROCEDURE IN ORDER TO PREVENT INJURY. TAKE NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE MOVING THE VEHICLE/
MACHINE.
Prior to installing the pump and/or motor, inspect the
unit(s) for damage that may have been incurred during
shipping and handling. Make certain that all system components (reservoir, hoses, valves, fittings, heat exchanger,
etc.) are clean prior to filling with fluid.
Updated 2-16-00
3120869– JLG Lift –2-59
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Fill the reservoir with recommended hydraulic fluid. This
fluid should be passed through a 10 micron (nominal, no
bypass) filter prior to entering the reservoir. The use of
contaminated fluid will cause damage to the components,
which may result in unexpected vehicle/machine movement.
NOTE: If a pump or motor is being replaced due to internal
damage, the remaining units (pump or motors) need
to be inspected for damage and contamination, and
the entire hydraulic system will need to be flushed
and the fluid replaced. Failure to do so may cause
considerable damage to the entire system.
The inlet line leading from the reservoir to the pump must
be filled prior to start-up. Check the inlet line for property
tightened fittings and make sure it is free of restrictions
and air leaks.
NOTE: In most ca ses, the rese rvoir is ab ove the pump inlet
so that the pressure head created by the higher oil
level helps to keep the inlet pressures within an
acceptable range and prevent high vacuum levels.
However, due to hose routing or low reservoir locations, there may be air trapped within this line. It is
impor tan t to a ssur e tha t th e ai r is bled fro m th is li ne.
This can be accomplished by loosening the hose at
the fitting closest the pump. When oil begins to flow,
the line is full, the air has be en purge d, and the fi tting
can be retightened to its specified torque. If the tank
needs to be pressurized in order to start the flow of
oil, a vacuum reading should be taken at the inlet of
the pump during operation in order to verify that the
pump is not being asked to draw an inlet vacuum
higher tha n it is capable of.
Be certain to fill the pump and/or motor housing with
clean hydraulic fluid prior to start up. Fill the housing by
pouring filtered oil into the upper case drain port.
NOTE: It i s highly recommended to use the high est possible
case drain port, this ensures that the housing contains as much o il a s po ssible and o ffers th e grea te st
amount of lubrication to the internal component s.
NOTE: In initial start-up conditions, it may be convenient to
fill the housing, just prior to installing the case drain
line. Component, (especially motor), location may be
such that access to the case drain port after installation is not realistic.
NOTE: Make certain that the oil be ing u sed to fill the comp o-
nent housing is as clean as possible, and store the
fill container in such a way as to prevent it from
becoming contaminated.
It is recommended that the external control input signal,
(electrical connections for EDC), be disconnected at the
pump control until after initial start-up. This will ensure that
the pump remains in its neutral position.
DO NOT START THE ENGINE UNLESS PUMP IS IN THE NEUTRAL
POSITION (0 DEGREES SWASHPLATE ANGLE). TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT MACHINE MOVEMENT IN CASE PUMP IS
ACTUATED DURING INITIAL START-UP.
"Jog" or slowly rotate the engine until charge pressure
starts to rise. Start the engine and run at the lowest possible RPM until charge pressure has been established.
Excess air should be bled from the system lines as close
to the motors as possible.
NOTE: With the engine on low idle, "crack", (loosen-don’t
remove), the system lines at the mo tor(s). Conti nue
to run the engine at low idle and tighten the system
lines as soon as oil is observed to leak from them.
When oil is observed to "l ea k" at the motor the line is
full, the air has been purged, and the system hoses
should be retightened to their specified torque.
Once charge pressure has been established, increase
speed to normal operating RPM. Charge pressure should
be as indicated in the pump model code. If charge pressure is inadequate, shut down and determine the cause
for improper pressure.
INADEQUATE CHARGE PRESSURE WILL AFFECT THE OPERATOR’ S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE MACHINE.
Shut down the engine and connect the external control
input signal. Also reconnect the machine function(s), if
disconnected earlier. Start the engine, checking to be certain the pump remains in neutral. With the engine at normal operating RPM, slowly check for forward and reverse
machine operation.
Charge pressure may slightly decrease during forward or
reverse operation. Continue to cycle slowly between forward and reverse for at least five minutes.
Shut down engine, remove gauges, and plug ports.
Check reservoir level and add filtered fluid if needed.
The machine is now ready for operation.
Install a 60 bar (or 1000 psi) pressure gauge in the charge
pressure gauge port in order to monitor the charge pressure during start-up.

2.29 SEMI-TRACK
The semi-track option is available in either soft or hard
track configurations. The semi-track provides increased
traction in rough terrain applications.
Testing the Track
With both sides installed, drive the machine slowly in both
directions to see that the track does not catch or hit any
part of the machine. Test the machine until it can be driven
at top speed and on side slopes without the tracks hitting.
In the first few days after use, check the track frequently to
see that all bolts are staying tight and that no damage is
being caused to the tires or machine.
Removing the Track
If the tracks are muddy, it is a good idea to wash them off
or drive the loader through water before removing. If the
tracks are going to be stored in the laid out position just
as they come off the machine, then move the machine to
the storage area to remove the tracks. If the tracks are
going to be rolled up and put on a pallet, it is best to
remove them on a hard surface. Remove the bolts that
hold the track together. These bolts are accessible over
the front tires. After the nuts are removed, pound them
flush with the pad. Drive the machine ahead until the bolts
are at the bottom between tires. Remove the inside bolts
by turning them out with a wrench and punch out the outside bolts. Drive the machine ahead and take off the
tracks. If the track is to be rolled up, it is best to set the
track on edge and roll it. Secure the end of the track and
put the loose hardware in the end of the track.

Assuming Normal Wear
It is normal for the bushing to wear down to the bolt and
for the link hole to wear oblong till it is ready to break out
the end.

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
Adjustment
IMPROPER SLACK ADJUSTMENT COULD CAUSE TRACK PARTS
TO BREAK.
Place a straight edge long enough to reach from the idler
to the drive wheel on the tracks. Measure the maximum
amount of track sag from the high point of the track segment to the bottom of the straight edge. Properly adjusted
track will have approximately 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm)
slack.
To adjust the slack measurement, move the bolts from the
first hole to the second to create more slack, or from the
second to the first to create less slack.
2.30 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" of the table, the various systems
along with 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

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
The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the aerial
platform are listed and defined in Tables 3-1 through 3-6.
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.
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
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.
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
