INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SECTION A. INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

A.A 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 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.

A.C MAINTENANCE

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 SECURE 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 SERVICE MANUAL.

•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 SAFELY 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 DISCONNECTED DURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

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.

•KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACHMENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.

•USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING SOLVENTS.

SECTION 2. PROCEDURES

2.1GENERAL

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.

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

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

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°.

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.

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.

3120829

– JLG Sizzor –

2-1

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES

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.

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.

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.Disassemble and reassemble parts on clean work surface. Clean all metal parts with non-flammable cleaning solvent. Lubricate components, as required, to aid assembly.

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.

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. Always examine filters for evidence of metal particles.

3.Cloudy oils indicate a high moisture content which permits organic growth, resulting in oxidation or corrosion. If this condition occurs, the system must be drained, flushed, and refilled with clean oil.

4.It is not advisable to mix oils of different brands or types, as they may not contain the same required additives or be of comparable viscosities. Good grade mineral oils, with viscosities suited to the ambient temperatures in which the machine is operating, are recommended for use.

NOTE: Metal particles may appear in the oil or filters of new machines due to the wear-in of meshing components.

Hydraulic Oil

1.Refer to Section 1 for recommendations for viscosity ranges.

2.JLG recommends Mobil 424 hydraulic oil, which has an SAE viscosity of 10W-20 and a viscosity index of 152.

2-2

– JLG Sizzor –

3120829

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES

NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system with oil temperatures below -26 ° C (-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 -26 ° C (-15 ° 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 ° C (-20 ° F). However, use of this oil will give poor performance at temperatures above 49° C (120° F). Systems using DTE 11 oil should not be operated at temperatures above 94° C (200° 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 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 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

Cylinders are of the double acting type. The Steer, Leveling Jack, and Deck Extension 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.

NOTE: The Lift cylinder is a single acting cylinder which take hydraulic pressure to extend and gravity to retract.

A holding valve is used in the Lift, and Leveling Jack 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.

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

3120829

– JLG Sizzor –

2-3

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES

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

Piston Hydraulic Pump

The Sundstrand piston hydraulic pump is attached to and driven by the gasoline or diesel engine. The pump is a

45.9 cm3 (2.8 in3 ) displacement piston pump that powers the drive motors.

Gear Hydraulic Pump

The John Barnes gear pump is piggy-backed to the piston pump, and operates all machine functions except drive.

The gear pump has a displacement of10.5 cm3 (0.6 in3).

Manual Descent Valve (If Equipped)

The manual descent valve is located on top of the holding valve on the lift cylinder. The holding valve is a normally closed solenoid valve, and holds the platform in place when raised. When activated, the valve opens to permit lift down. The holding valve is connected to the manual descent valve, which is connected to a cable which, when pulled, manually opens the lift down port of the valve and allows the platform to be lowered in the event hydraulic power is lost.

2.7SLIDING WEAR PADS

The original thickness of the sliding pads is 15.2 cm (6.0 in). Replace sliding pads when worn to 14.5 cm (5.7 in).

1912 Pump Coupling Grease ONLY. No other lubricant is recommended.

2.9CYLINDER CHECKING PROCEDURES

NOTE: Cylinder checks must be performed any time a cylinder component is replaced or when improper system operation is suspected.

OPERATE FUNCTIONS FROM GROUND CONTROL STATION

ONLY.

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 the initial discharge, there should be no further leakage from the retract port.

3.Activate hydraulic system and activate cylinder extend function. Check retract port for leakage.

4.If cylinder leakage is 6-8 drops per minute or more, piston seals are defective and must be replaced. If cylinder retract port leakage is less than 6-8 drops per minute, carefully reconnect hose to retract port and retract cylinder.

5.With cylinder fully retracted, shut down hydraulic system and carefully disconnect hydraulic hose from cylinder extend port.

6.Activate motor and activate cylinder retract function. Check extend port for leakage.

7.If cylinder leakage is 6-8 drops per minute or more, piston seals are defective and must be replaced. If extend port leakage is less than 6-8 drops per minute, carefully reconnect hose to extend port, then activate cylinder through one complete cycle and check for leaks.

2.8PUMP COUPLING LUBRICATION

To insure proper operation and a long service life for the Hayes pump coupling, it is necessary to lubricate the splines of the coupling any time the coupling is disassembled or replaced. Lubricate the splines with Texaco Code

2.15DRIVE PUMP START-UP PROCEDURE

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PER-

FORMED WHEN STARTING A NEW PUMP OR WHEN RESTARTING AN INSTALLATION IN WHICH EITHER THE PUMP OR MOTOR HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM.

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MAY REQUIRE THE MACHINE TO BE DISABLED (WHEELS RAISED OFF THE GROUND, DRIVE

FUNCTION DISCONNECTED, ETC.) WHILE PERFORMING THE

PROCEDURE IN ORDER TO PREVENT INJURY TO TECHNICIAN AND OTHER PERSONNEL. TAKE NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAU-

TIONS BEFORE MOVING THE MACHINE.

1.Prior to installing pump and/or motor, inspect unit(s) for damage incurred during shipping and handling. Make certain all system components (reservoir, hoses, valves, fittings, heat exchanger, etc.) are clean prior to filling with hydraulic fluid.

2.Fill reservoir with recommended hydraulic fluid, which 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 components, which may result in unexpected machine movement.

3.The inlet line leading from the reservoir to the pump should be filled prior to start-up. Check inlet line for properly tightened fittings and make sure it is free of restrictions and air leaks.

4.Be certain to fill pump and/or motor housing with clean hydraulic fluid prior to start-up. Fill housing by pouring filtered oil into upper case drain port.

5.Install a 0 to 50 psi (0 to 35 bar) pressure gauge in the charge pressure gauge port to monitor charge pressure during start-up.

6.It is recommended that the external control input signal electrical connections be disconnected at the pump control until after initial start-up. This will allow the pump to remain in its neutral position.

7.Jog or slowly rotate prime mover until charge pressure starts to rise. Start prime mover and run at the lowest possible RPM until charge pressure has been established. Excess air may be bled from high pressure lines through high pressure gauge ports

DO NOT START PRIME MOVER UNLESS PUMP IS IN NEUTRAL

POSITION (0 DEGREES SWASHPLATE ANGLE). TAKE PRECAU-

TIONS TO PREVENT MACHINE MOVEMENT IN CASE PUMP IS ACTUATED DURING INITIAL START-UP.

8.Once charge pressure has been established, increase speed to normal operating RPM. Charge pressure should be approximately 15.5 bar (22 psi) minimum. If charge pressure is incorrect, shut down and determine cause for improper pressure.

INADEQUATE CHARGE PRESSURE WILL AFFECT THE OPERA-

TORS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE MACHINE.

9.Shut down prime mover and connect external control input signal. start prime mover, checking to be certain pump remains in neutral. with prime mover at normal operating speed, slowly check for forward and reverse machine operation.

10.Charge pressure should remain at 15.5 bar - 16.9 bar (22 psi - 24 psi) minimum during forward or reverse operation. Continue to cycle slowly between forward and reverse for at least five minutes.

11.Shut down prime mover, remove gauges, and plug ports. Check reservoir level and add fluid if necessary.

2.18HYDRAULIC 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 NECES-

SARY 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.

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 cases, the reservoir is above 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 important to assure that the air is bled from this line. 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 been purged, and the fitting 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 than 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 is highly recommended to use the highest possible case drain port, this ensures that the housing contains as much oil as possible and offers the greatest amount of lubrication to the internal components.

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 being used to fill the component housing is as clean as possible, and store the fill container in such a way as to prevent it from becoming contaminated.

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.

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 PRECAU-

TIONS 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 motor(s). Continue 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 "leak" at the motor the line is full, the air has been purged, and the system hoses should be retightened to their specified torque.
