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.

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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 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.

The gear pump has a displacement of10.5 cm
3
(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).
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
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.

6. Carefully remove the cylinder from the Sizzor lift and
place in a suitable work area.
2. Raise platform completely and place a suitable overhead lifting device or prop approximately 2.5 cm (1
in) below the platform.
NOTE: Step (3) applies to the leveling jacks only.
3. Fully extend leveling jacks to check.
4. Shut down hydraulic system and allow machine to
sit for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove hydraulic
hoses from cylinder port block.
5. 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, cylinder repairs must be
made. If the retract port is leaking, the piston seals
are defective and must be replaced. If the extend
port is leaking, the counterbalance valve is defective
and must be replaced.
6. If no repairs are necessary or when repairs have
been made, carefully reconnect hydraulic hoses to
the appropriate ports.
7. Remove lifting device from platform, activate hydraulic system and run cylinder through one complete
cycle to check for leaks.
2.10 CYLINDER REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION
Lift Cylinder Installation
1. Install lift cylinder in place using suitable slings or
supports, aligning barrel end attach pin mounting
holes on lower arm assembly.
2. Using a suitable drift, drive the barrel end attach pin
through the mounting holes in the lift cylinder and
the lower arm assembly. Secure in place with the
bolts, flatwashers, and lockwashers.
3. Remove cylinder port plugs and hydraulic line caps
and correctly attach lines to cylinder ports.
4. Extend the cylinder rod until the attach pin hole

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

2.18 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.
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.
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 compo-
nent 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 PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT MACHINE MOVEMENT IN CASE PUMP IS
ACTUATED DURING INITIAL START-UP.
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
"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.
2-14– JLG Sizzor –3120829
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.
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
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.
NOTE: Ensure platform is fully lowered to open the cam
valve prior to beginning oscillating axle lockout cylinder bleeding procedure.
NOTE: Making sure that machine is on a level surface and

Roll Test
The purpose of a roll test is to determine if the units gears
are rotating freely and properly. Gears should be able to
be rotated by applying a constant force to the roll checker.
If more drag is felt in the gears only at certain points, then
the gears are not rolling freely and should be examined for
proper installation or defects. Some gear packages roll
with more difficulty than others. Do not be concerned if
gears seem to roll hard as long as they roll with consis-tency.
Leak Test
The purpose of the leak test is to make sure the unit is air
tight. The unit has a leak if the pressure gauge reading on
the air checker starts to fall once the unit has been pressurized. Leaks will most likely occur at main seal or wherever o-rings or gaskets are located. The exact location of
a leak can usually be detected by brushing a soap and
water solution around the main seal and where o-rings or
gaskets meet the exterior of the unit, then checking for air
bubbles. If a leak is detected in a seal, o-ring, or gasket,
the part must be replaced.

2.29 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.
6.Check for presence of excessive dirt or foreign material.
7.Check for proper operation and freedom of
movement.
8.Check for excessive wear or damage.
9.Check for proper tightness and adjustment.
10. Drain, clean and refill.
11. Check for proper operation while pump/
motor is running.
12. Check for proper lubrication.
13. Check for evidence of scratches, nicks or
rust and for straightness of rod.
14. Check for condition of element; replace as
necessary.
JLG INDUSTRIES REQUIRES THAT A COMPLETE ANNUAL
INSPECTION BE PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ANNUAL MACHINE INSPECTION REPORT FORM.
NOTE: This machine requires periodic safety and mainte-
nance inspections by a JLG Dealer. A decal located
on the frame affords a place to record (stamp)
inspection dates. Notify dealer if inspection is overdue.
15. Check for proper inflation.

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.
