1.6.1Personal Hazards
PERSONAL SAFETY GEAR: Wear all the protective
clothing and personal safety gear necessary to perform
the job safely. This might include heavy gloves, safety
glasses or goggles, filter mask or respirator, safety shoes
or a hard hat.
LIFTING: NEVER lift a heavy object without the help of at
least one assistant or a suitable sling and hoist.
1.6.2Equipment Hazards
LIFTING OF EQUIPMENT: Before using any lifting
equipment (chains, slings, brackets, hooks, etc.), verify
that it is of the proper capacity, in good working order, and
is properly attached.
NEVER stand or otherwise become positioned under a
suspended load or under raised equipment. The load or
equipment could fall or tip.
DO NOT use a hoist, jack or jack stands only to support
equipment. Always support equipment with the proper
capacity blocks or stands properly rated for the load.
HAND TOOLS: Always use the proper tool for the job;
keep tools clean and in good working order, and use
special service tool s onl y as re co mme nde d.
proceeding.
1.6.3General Hazards
SOLVENTS: Only use approved solvents that are known
to be safe for use.
HOUSEKEEPING: Keep the work area and operator’s
cab clean, and remove all hazards (debris, oil, tools, etc.).
FIRST AID: Im mediately clean, dress and report a ll injuries
(cuts, abrasions, burns, etc.), no matter how minor the
injury may seem. Know the location of a First Aid Kit, and
know how to use it.
CLEANLINESS: Wear eye protection, and clean all
components with a high-pressure or steam cleaner
before attempting service.
When removing hydraulic components, plug hose ends
and connections to prevent excess leakage and
contamination. Place a suitable catch basin beneath the
machine to capture fluid run-off.
It is good practice to avoid pressure-washing electrical/
electronic components. In the event pressure-washing
the machine is needed, ensure the machine is shut down
before pressure-washing. Should pressure-washing be
utilized to wash areas containing electrical/electronic
components, it is recommended a maximum pressure of
52 bar (750 psi) at a minimum distance of 30,5 cm (12 in)
away from these components. If electrical/electronic
components are sprayed, spraying must not be direct and
for brief time periods to avoid heavy saturation.
Check and obey all Federal, State and/or Local
regulations regarding waste storage, disposal and
recycling.
ENGINE: Stop the engine before performing any service
unless specificall y instr uc ted othe rw is e.
VENTILATION: Avoid prolonged engine operation in
enclosed areas without adequate ventilation.
SOFT SURFACES AND SLOPES: NEVER work on a
machine that is parked on a soft surface or slope. The
machine must b e on a hard leve l surfa ce, wit h th e wh eel s
blocked before performing any service.
FLUID TEMPERATURE: NEVER work on a machine
when the engine, cooling or hydraulic systems are hot.
Hot components and fluids can cause severe burns.
Allow systems to cool before proceeding.
FLUID PRESSURE: Before loosenin g any hydr aul ic or
diesel fuel component, hose or tube, turn the engine
OFF. Wear heavy, protective gloves and eye protection.
NEVER check for leaks using any part of your body; use
a piece of cardboard or wood instead. If injured, seek
medical attention immediately. Diesel fluid leaking under
pressure can explode. Hydraulic oil and diesel fuel
leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin, cause
infection, gangrene and other serious personal injury.
Relieve all pressure before disconnecting any
component, part, line or hose. Slowly loosen parts and
allow release of residual pressure before removing any
part or component. Before starting the engine or applying
pressure, use components, parts, hoses and pipes that
are in good condition, connected properly and are
tightened to the proper torque. Capture fluid in an
appropriate container and dispose of in accordance with
prevailing environmental regulations.
RADIATOR CAP: The cooling system is under pressure,
and escaping coolant can cause severe burns and eye
injury. To prevent personal injury, NEVER remove the
radiator cap while the cooling system is hot. Wear safety
glasses. Turn the radiator cap to the first stop and allow
pressure to escape before removing the cap completely.
Failure to follow the safety practices could result in death
or serious injury.
FLUID FLAMABILTITY: DO NOT service the fuel or
hydraulic systems near an open flame, sparks or smoking
materials.
NEVER drain or store fluids in an open container. Engine
fuel and hydraulic oil are flammable and can cause a fire
and/or explosion.
DO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. The
mixture can cause an explosion.
PRESSURE TESTING: When conducting any test, only
use test equipment that is correctly calibrated and in good
condition. Use the correct equipment in the pr ope r
manner, and make changes or repairs as indicated by the
test procedure to achieve the desired result.
LEAVING MACHINE: Lower the forks or attachment to
the ground before leaving the machine.
TIRES: Always keep tires inflated to the proper pressure
to help prevent tipover. DO NOT over-inflate tires.
NEVER use mismatched tire types, sizes or ply ratings.
Always use matched sets according to machine
specifications.
MAJOR COMPONENTS: Never alter, remove, or
substitute any items such as counterweights, tires,
batteries or other items that may reduce or affect the
overall weight or stability of the machine.
BATTERY: DO NOT charge a frozen battery. Charging a
frozen battery may cause it to explode. Allow the battery
to thaw before jump-starting or connecting a battery
charger.
1.7S AFETY DECALS
Check that all safety decals are present and readable on
the machine. Refer to the Operation & Safety Manual
supplied with machine for information.
Before ordering parts or initiating service inquiries, make
note of the machine serial number. The machine serial
number plate (1) is located as indicated in the figure.
Note: The replacement of any part on this machine with
any other th a n fa ct o ry au t h or iz ed re pl acement parts ca n
adversely affect the performance, durability, or safety of
the machine, and will void the warranty. JLG disclaims
liability for any claims or damages, whether regarding
property damage, personal injury or death arising out of
the use of unauthorized replacement parts.

safety precautions as outlined in the “Safety Practices”
section of this manual.
5.3GENERAL INFORMATION
Before performing any inspection, maintenance or
service operation, thoroughly clean the unit. The axles
and drive shafts should be checked and repaired only by
experienced service technicians who are aware of all
safety instructions and particular component features.
Use suitable products to thoroughly clean all
disassembled mechanical parts to help prevent personal
injury to the worker and prevent damage to the parts.
Carefully inspect the integrity of all moving parts
(bearings, yokes, tubes, gears, shafts, etc.) and fasteners
(nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) as they are subject to major
stress and wear.
5.4AXLE ASSEMBLIES
5.4.1Axle Serial Number Plate

5.4.3Axle Maintenance
CLEANING: Clean parts with machined or ground
surfaces (such as gears, bearings and shafts) with
emulsion cleaners or petroleum-based cleaners. DO NOT steam clean internal components and the interior of
the planetary hub and axle housing. Water can cause
corrosion of critical parts. Rust contamination in the
lubricant can cause gear and bearing failure. Remove old
gasket material from all surfaces.
DRYING: Use clean, lintless towels to dry components
after cleaning. DO NOT dry bearings by spinning them
with compressed air; this can damage mating surfaces
due to lack of lubrication. After drying, coat components
with oil or a rust-preventive chemical to help protect them
from corrosion. If storing components for a prolonged
period, wrap them in wax paper.
PERIODIC OPERATION REQUIREMENT: Every two
weeks, drive the machine far enough to cause the drivetrain components to make several complete revolutions.
This will help ensure that internal components receive
lubrication to minimize deterioration caused by
environmental factors such as high humidity.
SUBMERSION: If the machine has been exposed to
water deep enough to cover the hubs, disassemble the
wheel ends and inspect for water damage and
contamination. If the carrier housing was submerged in
water, especially if the water level was above the vent
tube (breather), drain the axle and inspect internal parts
for water damage and contamination. Before assembling
and refilling the unit with the specified lubricant(s), clean,
examine and replace damaged parts as necess ar y.

7.6 ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The engine electrical system, including the starter,
alternator and primary wiring, is described in Section 9,
“Electrical System.”
7.7 FUEL SYSTEM
7.7.1Diesel Fuel
Fuel represents a major portion of machine operating
costs and therefore must be used efficiently. ALWAYS
use a premium brand of high-quality, clean diesel fuel.
Low cost, inferior fuel can lead to poor performance and
expensive engine repair.
Due to the precise tolerances of diesel injection
systems, keep the fuel clean, and free of dirt and
water. Dirt and water in the fuel system can cause
severe damage to both the injection pump and the
injection nozzles. Use #2 diese l fu el wit h a min im um
Cetane rating of 40. #2 diesel fuel gives the best
economy and performance under most operating
conditions. Fuels with Cetane numbers higher than 40
may be needed in high altitudes or extremely low
ambient temperatures to help prevent misfiring and
excessive smok ing .
Inform the owner/operator of the machine to use #2
diesel fuel, unless ambient temperatures are below 0° C
(32° F). When temperatures are below 0° C (32° F), a
blend of #1 diesel and #2 diesel fuels (known as
“winterized” #2 diesel) may be used.
Note: #1 diesel fuel may be used, however, fuel
economy will be reduced.
Use a low-sulfur content fuel with a cloud point (the
temperature at which wax crystals form in diesel fuel) at
least 10° below the lowest expected fuel temperature.
The viscosity of the fuel must be kept above 1.3
centistokes to provide adequate fuel system lubrication.
Note: When using diesel fuel with a sulfur content below
1.3 percent, the filter change interval must be reduced by
75 hours. The use of fuel with a sulfur content above
1.3 percent is not recommended.
7.7.2Fuel/Hydraulic Oil Tank
To clean the fuel/hydraulic oil tank:
1. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near
the work area.
2. Depending on which side of the tank is contaminated
(fuel or hydraulic oil), remove the fuel or oil tank
drain plug, and safely drain any fuel or hydraulic oil
into a suitable container. Dispose of fuel or hydraulic
oil properly.
3. Clean the fuel/hydraulic oil tank with a high-pressure
washer, or flush the tank with hot water for five
minutes and drain the water. Dispose of
contaminated water properly.
4. For the fuel tank side, add a diesel fuel emulsifying
agent to the tank. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for the correct emulsifying agent-towater mixture ratio. Refill the tank with water, and
agitate the mixture for 10 minutes. Drain the tank
completely. Dispose of contaminated water properly.
5. Refill the fuel tank with water until it overflows.
Completely flush the tank with water . Empty the fuel
tank, and allow it to dry completely.
c. Inspection
Note: If a leak is suspected bet ween the fuel and h ydraulic
oil tank, contact the local JLG dealer.
1. Inspect the fuel/hydraulic oil tank thoroughly for any
cracks, slices, leaks or other damage.
2. Plug all openings except one elbow fitting. Install the
elbow fitting, and apply approximately 0.07-0.10 bar
(1-1.5 psi) of air pressure through the elbow. Check
the tank for leaks by applying a soap solution to the
exterior and look for bubbles to appear at the
cracked or damaged area.
a. Cleaning and Drying
If contaminated fuel, hydraulic oil or foreign material is in
the tank, the tank can usually be cleaned.
b. If a leak is suspected between the fuel and hydraulic oil
tank, contact the local JLG dealer.

Refer to Section 7.4, “Specifications and Maintenance
Information,” for detailed engine service information or
contact the local Deutz dealer.
To understand the safety, operation and service
information presented in this section, it is necessary that
the operator/mechanic be familiar with the name and
location of the hydraulic components of the machine. The
following illustration identifies the components that are
referred to throughout this section.
safety precautions as outlined in the “Safety
Practices” section of this manual.
8.3GENERAL INFORMATION
Petroleum-based hydraulic oils are used in this machine.
The temperature of hydraulic oil increases during the
operation of various hydraulic functions. A heated
petroleum-based hydraulic oil presents a fire hazard,
especially when an ignition so ur ce is presen t.
Accordingly, periodically inspect all hydraulic system
components, hoses, tubes, lines, fittings, etc. Carefully
examine any deterioration and determine whether any
further use of the component would constitute a hazard.
If in doubt, replace the component.
Whenever you disconnect a hydraulic line, coupler, fitting
or other component, slowly
involved. A hissing sound or slow seepage of hydraulic oil
may occur in most cases. After the hissing sound has
ceased, continue removing the part. Any escaping oil
should be directed into an appropriate container. Cap or
otherwise block off the part to prevent further oil seepage.
Hydraulic system maintenance will, at times, require that
the engine be operated. Always follow safety precautions.
A major cause of hydraulic component failure is
contamination. Keeping the hydraulic oil as clean as
possible will help avoid downtime and repairs. Sand, grit
and other contaminants can damage the finely machined
surfaces within hydraulic components. If operating in an
exceptionally dirty environment, change filters and
inspect the oil more often. When servicing the system,
cap or plug hydraulic fittings, hoses and tube assemblies.
Plug all cylinder ports, valves and the hydraulic reservoir,
and pump openings until installation occurs. Protect
threads from contamination and damage.
Some hydr aulic funct ions are act uated by in terfacin g with
electrical system components (switches, solenoids and
sensors). When the hydraulic system is not functioning
properly, check the electrical aspect of the malfunctioning
circuit also.
and cautiously loosen the part
8.4SPECIFICATIONS
Refer to Section 2.3, “Specifications,” for hydraulic
system specifications.
8.5HOSES, TUBE LINES, FITTINGS, ETC.
There are numerous hydraulic hoses, tubes, fittings, etc.
used on this machine. Periodically inspect all of these
and carefully examine any signs of wear, abrasion and/or
deterioration. Determine whether any further use of the
component would constitute a hazard. If in doubt, replace
the component.
8.5.1Replacement Considerations
Conditions including, but not limited to, the following are
sufficient for considering component replacement:
1. Any evidence of hydraulic oil leakage at the surface
of a flexible hose or its junction with the metal and
couplings.
2. Any blistering or abnormal deformation to the outer
covering of a hydraulic hose.
3. Hydraulic oil leakage at any threaded or clamped
joint that cannot be eliminated by normal tightening
or other recommended procedures.
4. Evidence of excessive abrasion or scrubbing on the
outer surface of a hose, rigid tube, or hydraulic
fitting. Modification must be made to eliminate the
interference of the elements in contact with one
another, or to otherwise protect the components
from contact with one another. Slightly moving a
hose or adjusting a plastic tie wrap may often be all
that is necessary to eliminate interference; evaluate
each situation and proceed as required by the
individual circumstances.
8.5.2Hose, Tube, Line and Fitting
Replacement
Before removing a hydraulic hose or component, always
mark or otherwise label the related parts and the exact
location of the hose or component to aid in proper
reinstallation. Hydraulic oil is a good cleaner and can
remove most liquid-ink type markings, so make sure the
mark or label will remain intact. Alternative methods to
using markers include color-coded tie wraps, number-tag
sets, alpha-numeric stampin gs or ma rk ings, an d su it ab ly
labeled pieces of tape. Select an appropriate marking
method for the conditions and proceed accordingly.
with a part not specifically designed for this machine. Use
only factory approved parts for best performance and
safety.
Removal and replacement of hoses, tube lines, fittings,
etc. usually involves straightforward procedures. When
removing a hydraulic hose or other component, be aware
that o-rings are used throughout the hydraulic system.
ALWAYS replace a used o-ring with a new part.
Check all routing of hoses, wiring and tubing for sharp
bends or interference with any rotating members. Install
appropriate protective devices such as tie wraps and
conduit to help shield hoses from damage. All tube and
hose clamps must be tight.
8.6HYDRA ULIC PRESSURE DIAGNOSIS
8.6.1Pressure Checks and Adjustments
In general, follow the steps below whenever conducting
pressure checks and performing adjustments:
1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Engage
the park brake, place the transmission control lever
in (N) NEUTRAL, place the neutral lo ck lever in the (N)
NEUTRAL LOCK position, level the boom and turn
the engine OFF.
2. Pressure tee fittings are conveniently located in
each hydraulic circuit. Install a pressure gauge
capable of measuring at least 10% more pressure
than that which the circuit being checked oper at es
under.
3. Start the engine. Operate machine functions several
times to allow hydraulic oil to reach operating
temperature. The hydraulic oil temperature should
be between 38-49° C (100-120° F). If a temperature
gauge or thermometer is unavailable, the hydraulic
oil reservoir should be warm to the tou ch.
4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal as required.
Place and hold the joystick in the position needed to
operate the particular machine function being
checked. Continue holding the joystick in position
until pressure readings are taken.
5. Check the pressure gauge reading. It should read as
described in the appropriate section. If the reading is
not as specified, turn the engine OFF and check
other components in the system. Verify that all
related hydraulic components and electrical
switches, sensors, solenoids, etc. are operating
correctly.
6. As a last resort, adjust the appropriate relief valve, if
applicable. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise
will increase the pressure; turning the screw
counterclockwise will decrease the pressure.
8.6.2Main Control V a lve Pre ssure Checking
Attach 345 bar (5000 psi) gauge to the test port (1) at the
rear of the implement pump to check the system
pressure. Make sure the gauge is visible from inside the
cab.
See Section 8.6, “Hydraulic Pressure Diagnosis,” for start
up procedure. Check the main control pressure with the
park brake on and the service brake off at full throttle.
Retract a boom circuit function until the cylinder bottoms.
The main control valve pressure should be 250 ± 2,8 bar
(3625 ± 40 psi) at full throttle. Repeat for each boom
circuit to verify the correct main control valve pressure.
If a pressure adjustment is required, adjust the main relief
cartridge (2) on the main control valve. Recheck pressure
after any adjustment has been made.
Attach a pressure gauge to the test port (3) on the
hydrostatic transmissio n (4) to check the system
pressure. The pressure should be 26,2 ± 2 bar
(380 ± 30 psi) with the engine at low idle.
The charge pressure relief valve is preset at the factory
and is not adjustable.
8.6.4Drive Pressure Checking
Attach a pressure gauge to the test fitting (5) on the
hydrostatic transmissio n (4) to check the system
pressure.
The following procedure must be performed to verify
proper drive pressure:
• Connect a JLG handheld analyzer to the power
distribution board (located below the rear cab
window).
• Enter service code 01769 for access level 1.
• Navigate to CALIBRATION>TRACTION TEST,
select YES. (Note: this mode will return to the default
setting NO when the power is cycled.)
• Check the drive pressure with the park brake on,
wheels chocked and the service brake off at full
throttle. The pressure reading should be 440 to 460
bar (6381 to 6671 psi).
Do NOT adjust any relief settings. The unit is preset at the
factory and should not be tampered with. If the proper
pressure is not read, the unit may be defective.
8.6.5Boom Function Pressure Checking
Attach 345 bar (5000 psi) gauge to the test port (6) at the
rear of the main control valve to check the system
pressure. Make sure the gauge is visible from inside the
cab.
See Section 8.6, “Hydraulic Pressure Diagnosis,” for start
up procedure. Check the boom function pressure with the
park brake on and the service brake off at full throttle.
Retract each boom circuit function until the cylinder
bottoms. Each circuit function pressure should be
250 ± 2,8 bar (3625 ± 40 psi) at full throttle.
Note: With the machine at operating temperature, the
250 ± 2,8 bar (3625 ± 40 psi) pressure reading at the
main control valve is 13,3 bar (125 psi) HIGHER than the
241 bar ±4 bar (3500 ± 50 psi) of each individual valve
section function. DO NOT adjust the main control valve
relief pressure below 250 ± 2,8 bar (3625 ± 40 psi).
To check individual valve section pressures, install a tee
and test port between the cylinder being checked and
the corresponding valve section on the main control
valve.
The individual valve section relief valves are preset at the
factory and are not adjustable.
Attach a pressure gauge to the test fitting (7) at the main
control valve. The pressure reading should be 186 ± 4 bar
(2700 ± 50 psi) with the steering wheel fully turned to the
steering stop in one direction.
Do NOT adjust any relief settings. The unit is preset at the
factory and should not be tampered with. If the proper
pressure is not read, the unit may be defective.
8.6.7Brake Pressure Checking
Hydraulic System
Attach a pressure gauge to the test fitting (8) at the brake
valve in the cab. The pressure reading should be 30 bar
(435 psi) with the brake pedal fully depressed.
Do NOT adjust any relief settings. The unit is preset at the
factory and should not be tampered with. If the proper
pressure is not read, the unit may be defective.
The hydraulic reservoir and fuel tank are part of the
frame. For this reason, neither tank can be removed. For
cleaning instructions, see Section 7.7.2, “Fuel/Hydraulic
Oil Tank.”
Occasionally, oil may seep, leak or be more forcefully
expelled from the filter head when system pressure
exceeds the rating of the filter head or filler cap. If the
return filter becomes plugged, return hydraulic oil will
bypass the filter when pressure reaches 1,5 bar (22 psi)
and return to the reservoir unfiltered.
Carefully examine oil seepage or leaks from the hydraulic
reservoir to determine the exact cause. Clean the
reservoir and note where any seepage occurs.
Leaks from a cracked or damaged reservoir require that
the reservoir be flushed completely with water and
repaired by a certified welder using approved techniques.
If these conditions cannot be met, the reservoir must be
replaced in its entirety. Contact the local JLG dealer
should reservoir welding be required.
8.8.1Pressurized Hydraulic Oil Fill Cap
The fill cap will allow the hydraulic oil reservoir to
pressurize to 0,14 bar (2 psi). Inspect the condition of the
cap seal to maintain proper reservoir pressure.
