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 established by a qualified person and 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 machine
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 component weight and 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 IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/
OPERATOR.
C. MAINTENANCE
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN
THIS SECTION COULD RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSONNEL INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
• 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 DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION AND OTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON MACHINE
AND IN SERVICE MANUAL.
• KEEP STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS
FREE OF OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC.
• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM
UNTIL PLATFORM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED
FROM ANY MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING.
• BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR
PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE, SHUT
OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS.
•BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED
DURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
• KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACHMENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.
• USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING
SOLVENTS.
B. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
1. It should be particularly noted that the machines
hydraulic systems operate at extremely high and
potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should
be made to relieve any system pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any portion of the system.
2. Relieve system pressure by activating the lift DOWN
control with the platform completely lowered to
direct any line pressure back into the return line to
the reservoir. Pressure feed lines to system components can then be disconnected with minimal fluid
loss.
NOTE: The batteries on 9MP machines require approxi-
mately five (5) hours to fully charge when drained to
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE on the Charger’s - Battery
Discharge Indicator.

1.5LUBRICATION
Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic oils must have anti-wear qualities at least to API
Service Classification GL-3, and sufficient chemical stability for mobile hydraulic system service. JLG Industries,
recommends Mobilfluid 424 hydraulic oil, which has an
SAE viscosity of 10W-30 and a viscosity index of 152.
For cold weather applications, i.e. when temperatures
remain consistently below +20°F (–7°C) JLG recom-
mends using Mobil DTE 13 hydraulic oil.
Aside from JLG recommendations, 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. If use of hydraulic oil other than Mobilfluid 424 is
desired, contact JLG Industries for proper recommendations.

2.3SERVICING 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 component 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.
NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM UNTIL PLATFORM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY MOVEMENT
BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING.
Cleanliness
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 the wheel bearings, mast sections and oil supply clean; however, these items must be
maintained on a scheduled basis in order to function
properly.
At any time when 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Discard bearings if the races and balls (or rollers) are pitted, scored, or burned.
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.
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
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.
Unless specific torque requirements are given within the
text, standard torque values should be used on heattreated bolts, studs, and steel nuts, in accordance with
recommended shop practices. (See Torque Charts in Sec-
tion-1.)

Page 22
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
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
Keep the system clean. If evidence of metal or rubber particles is found in the hydraulic system, drain and flush the
entire system.
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 and Servicing
Components and assemblies requiring lubrication and
servicing are shown in the Lubrication Chart, (See Figure1-2.). 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.
Mast Chain Inspection Procedure
MAST CHAINS TO BE INSPECTED AND LUBRICATED EVERY
THREE MONTHS.
Inspect mast chains for the following conditions:
Wear: Always inspect that segment of chain that operates
over a sheave. As the chain flexes over the sheaves, joints
and plate edges very gradually wear. Chain “stretch” can
be measured using a manufacturers wear scale or steel
tape. When chains have elongated 3% they must be
removed and replaced. Refer to Table 2-3 for proper chain
specifications and allowable stretch tolerances. Peening
and wear of chain plate edges are caused by sliding over
a chain worn contact face of a sheave, or unusually heavy
loads. All of the above require replacement of the chain
and correction of the cause. Chain side wear, noticeable
when pin heads and outside plates show a definite wear
pattern, is caused by misalignment of the sheave/chain
anchors and must be corrected promptly. Do not repair
chains; if a section of chain is damaged, replace the entire
chain set.
Rust and Corrosion: Rust and corrosion will cause a
major reduction in the load carrying capacity of the chain,
because these are primary reasons for side plate cracking. The initial lubrication at the factory is applied in a hot
dip tank to assure full penetration into the joint. Do not
steam clean or degrease chains. At time of chain installation, factory lube must be supplemented by a maintenance program to provide a film of oil on the chains at all
times. If chains are corroded, they must be inspected,
especially the outside plates, for cracks in-line with the
pins. If cracks are found, replace the chain; if no cracks
are discovered, lubricate the chains by dipping in heated
oil, and reinstall on the machine. Keep chains lubricated.
Table 2-3. Chain Stretch Tolerance
Chain Size
.50" pitch12" or 24 pitches.24 in./12 in. span
.625 pitch15" or 24 pitches.30 in./15 in. span
Fatigue Cracks: Fatigue is a phenomenon that affects
most metals, and is the most common cause of chain
plate failures. Fatigue cracks are found through the link
holes, perpendicular (90 degrees) from the pin in-line
position. Inspect chains carefully after long time use and
heavy loading for this type of crack. If any cracks are discovered, replace all chains, as seemingly sound plates
are on the verge of cracking. Fatigue and ultimate
strength failures on JLG Lifts are incurred as a result of
severe abuse as design specs are well within the rated lifting capacity of these chains.
Tight Joints: All joints in the leaf chain should flex freely.
On leaf chain, tight joints are usually caused by rust/corrosion, or the inside plates “walking” off the bushing. Limber
up rusty/corroded chains (after inspecting carefully) with a
heavy application of oil (preferably a hot oil dip). Tap
inside “walking” plates inward; if “walking” persists,
replace the chain. This type of problem is accelerated by
poor lubrication maintenance practice, and most tight
joint chains have been operated with little or no lubrication. Tight joints on leaf chain are generally caused by:
a. Bent pins or plates.
b. Rusty joints.
c. Peened plate edges.
Oil rusty chains, and replace chains with bent or peened
chain components. Keep chains lubricated.
Protruding or Turned Pins: Chains operating with inadequate lube generate tremendous friction between the pin
and plates (pin and bushing on leaf chain). In extreme
cases, this frictional torque can actually turn the pins in
the outside press-fit plates. Inspect for turned pins, which
can be easily spotted as the “V” flats on the pin heads are
no longer in line. Replace all chains showing evidence of
turned or protruding pins. Keep chains lubricated.

SECTION 2 - GENERAL
Chain Anchors and Sheaves: An inspection of the chain
must include a close examination of chain anchors and
sheaves. Check chain anchors for wear breakage and
misalignment. Anchors with worn or broken fingers should
be replaced. They should also be adjusted to eliminate
twisting the chain for an even load distribution.
Inspect the sheaves, sheave bearings, sheave grooves
and pins for extreme wear, replace as necessary. A worn
sheave can mean several problems, as follows:
a. Chains too tight.
b. Sheave bearings/pin bad.
c. Bent/misaligned chains.
2.4LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Hydraulic System
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hydraulic Oil
For best performance, JLG recommends the use of ISOVg grade 32, 46 oil with a viscosity range between 15-250
SUS at 100 degrees F (32-54 cST at 40 degrees C). Refer
to Section 1-5 of this Service Manual for recommended
hydraulic oils.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
Use of any of the recommended hydraulic oils eliminates
the need for changing the oil on a regular basis. 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.
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.
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 the Lubricant Table in Section-1 of this Service Manual for an explanation of the lubricant key
designations.
NOTE: Metal particles may appear in the oil of new
machines due to the wear-in of meshing components.

NOTE: During reassembly of the pump/motor assembly,
apply a liberal coat of JLG recommended hydraulic
fluid to all seals and o-rings.
Also keep all internal metal parts clean and coated
with hydraulic fluid to prevent surface corrosion.
JLG recommends replacing all seals and o-rings
when disassembling and reassembling the pump/
motor unit.

Brush Housing Final Assembly Tips
It is easier to install the brush carrier assembly by sliding
the rotor assembly completely out of the other end of the
motor housing, then attach the brush carrier first. After the
brush carrier is installed look into the motor housing from
the opposite end to check that the positive (+) post wires
and static winding wires are positioned not to block the
holes for the motor mounting bolts, and are properly positioned around the motor housing.
After final assembly of the brush housing check that all
brush terminal screws are tight and the brush springs are
positioned properly before mounting the motor to the
pump/motor end head.

The intention of this procedure is to assure equal load distribution between the individual chains of a mast section
chain sets. Also to set the platform height above the base
frame when the platform is completely lowered.
Adjust using the following procedure;
1. With mast retracted, step into the platform and
bounce your weight up and down a few times to be
certain platform is at the bottom of travel. Be certain
the chain set is seated in the sheaves properly at the
top of the mast.
2. Then with no load in the platform check the clearance from the frame under the platform, to the top of
the machine base frame, it should be approximately
1 inch (2.54cm). (See Figure 5-2.)
NOTE: Mast section-1 is fixed to the base and mast section-
2 is attached to the lift cylinder, these sections
require no adjustment.
3. To adjust, elevate the platform until the chain anchor
adjust nuts are accessible at the front and bottom of
the mast section 3 (platform mounting section).
NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM UNTIL PLATFORM
HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING.
4. Unthread the (jam) nuts from the adjusting nuts
below the chain anchor plate.
5. Tighten (to raise mast section), or loosen (to lower
mast section) the adjusting nut against the anchor
plate on each chain. Adjust the nuts the amount
required to raise or lower the mast section to obtain
the proper platform height when the mast is
retracted.
NOTE: It is more important that the (threaded ends) studs
protruding on the adjustments are equal side to side
than it is that the tension in the chains is equal. The
chain equalizer plate will always assure equal ten-
sion, but if the adjustment isn’t equal as described,
the chains may tend to pull to one side or the other.
The threaded end of the chain may need to be
restrained while tightening the adjust nut to keep the
chain from twisting.
6. After making an adjustment retract the mast all the
way and check if the platform height is adjusted
properly as shown in Figure 5-2.
7. Repeat steps (5) and (6) until the proper platform
height is obtained.
8. Once mast section adjustment is completed, apply
loctite #242 to the threads under the (jam) nuts that
were loosened. Then re-tighten the loosened (jam)
nuts until tight against the top (adjust) nut.
9. Run mast through several cycles to verify chain
adjustments and ensure no interference exists
between chain anchor brackets and mast.
Sequencing Cable Adjustment (See Figure 5-2.)
1. Retract mast completely, and check the sequencing
cable on outside of masts for excessive slack. Adjust
only to remove slack from cable.
2. Tighten nylock-nut just enough to remove excessive
slack from sequencing cable. The springs should
not be compressed more than 25% after adjusting.
NOTE: Adjustment and spring compression will vary due to
cable stretch as mast lift and lower cycles accumulate. If cable cannot be adjusted to remove slack,
either the mast chain is adjusted improperly (platform to low) or the cable has stretched and needs
replaced.
3. Run mast through several cycles to verify cable
adjustments and ensure cable is seated in the
sheave properly.
(b) Mast section raised by lift cylinder.
(c) Mast section lifted by chain, can be adjusted.
(d) Bottom of platform to top of base frame, approximate dimension adjustment.
(e) Mainly adjust to remove slack in cable with 25% spring compression when mast is fully lowered. This adjustment also
depends on mast section 3, platform to base frame adjustment, this adjustment can affect sequence cable adjustment.
Also as cable stretches, more spring compression will be required. If mast section 3 is adjusted properly and sequence
cable cannot be adjusted to remove slack, the sequence cable will need to be replaced due to stretching.
(f)Apply Loctite #242 at final tightening.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS ARE DESIGNED TO HOLD HYDRAULIC
FLUID UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. ENSURE ALL APPROPRIATE MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO RELIEVE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN THE CYLINDER BEFORE DISCONNECTING LINES.
Lift Cylinder Removal
Removal of the hydraulic lift cylinder without removing the
mast from the machine requires laying the machine on it’s
back (hood side) with the platform end on top.
1. Remove the following components from the
machine before laying machine on it’s back:
• Rear Cover (See Section 4)
2. Seal the vented cap on the hydraulic fluid reservoir
by removing the cap, covering the hole with a few
layers of plastic wrap or equivalent. Then install and
tighten the cap over the plastic wrap to prevent leakage of hydraulic oil from the reservoir while machine
is in a layed back position.
3. Use a forklift truck or overhead crane and carefully
lay the machine on it’s back, place a support under
the mast end, keeping mast close to level. (See Fig-
ure 5-3.)
4. At the base end, on the lift cylinder valve block,
remove and tightly cap the extend and return
hydraulic lines.

Cylinder Disassembly
(See Figure 5-4.)
1. Before disassembling the cylinder, clean away all
dirt and foreign substances from openings, particularly the head area.
NOTE: Always protect the chrome surface of the cylinder
rod during assembly and disassembly. Any damage
to this surface will require replacement of the rod.
2. Extend the rod until the piston bottoms out against
the cylinder head.
3. Compress the head retraining ring enough to allow
the cylinder head to be removed.
4. Carefully slide the head/rod/piston assembly out of
the cylinder tube. A gentle tap on the head assembly
may be required to remove the head from the cylinder tube.
5. Place the head/rod/piston assembly on a surface
that will not damage the chrome.
6. Remove the piston locknut and separate the piston
from the rod.
7. Slide the head off the rod from the piston end.
NOTE: When removing the old seals use only blunt tools, be
sure there are no sharp edges that may damage the
seal grooves during removal. Scratching the groove
may cause by-pass.
8. Remove and discard all old seals.
Lift Cylinder Component Inspection
Cylinder Rod
There should be no scratches or pits deep enough to
catch the fingernail. Pits that go to the base metal are
unacceptable. Scratches that catch the fingernail but are
not to the base metal, less than 0.5 inch long and primarily
in the circumferential direction are acceptable provided
they cannot cut the rod seal. Chrome should be present
over the entire surface of the rod and the lack thereof is
unacceptable. In the event that an unacceptable condition
occurs, the rod should be repaired or replaced.
Cylinder Head
Visually inspect the inside bore for scratches or polishing.
Deep scratches are unacceptable. Polishing indicates
uneven loading and when this occurs, the bore should be
checked for out-of-roundness. If out-of-roundness exceed
0.007", this is unacceptable. Check the condition of the
dynamic seals (wiper, rod seals) looking particularly for
metallic particles embedded in the seal surface. It is normal to cut the static seal on the retaining ring groove upon
disassembly. Remove the rod seal, static o-ring and
backup and rod wiper. Damage to the seal grooves, particularly on the sealing surfaces, is unacceptable. In the
event that an unacceptable condition occurs, the head
should be replaced.
Piston
Visually inspect the outside surface for scratches or polishing. Deep scratches are unacceptable. Polishing indicates uneven loading and when this occurs, the diameter
should be checked for out-of-roundness. If out-of-roundness exceeds 0.007", this is unacceptable. Check the condition of the dynamic seals and bearings looking
particularly for metallic particles embedded in the bearing
and in the piston seal surface. Remove the seals and
bearings. Damage to the seal grooves, particularly on the
sealing surfaces, is unacceptable. In the event that an
unacceptable condition occurs, the piston should be
replaced.
Tube Ass emb ly
Visually inspect the inside bore for scratches and pits.
There should be no scratches or pits deep enough to
catch the fingernail. Scratches that catch the fingernail but
are less than 0.5 inch long and primarily in the circumferential direction are acceptable provided they cannot cut
the piston seal. The roughness of the bore should be
between 10 and 20 µ inches RMS. Significant variation
(greater than 8 µ inches difference) are unacceptable. In
the event that an unacceptable condition occurs, the tube
assembly should be repaired or replaced.

1. Rinse the inside of the tube with hydraulic fluid and
allow to drain. A high-pressure rinse followed by a
wipe with a lint-free rag is preferable. Clean all internal components of any foreign material.
2. Lubricate the head and all seals with hydraulic fluid
prior to installation. Install the seal, wiper, o-ring,
back-up ring, and retraining ring to the cylinder
head.
3. Lubricate the piston and all components with

5.5MAST ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
PROCEDURES
The model 9MP lift mast sections are constructed of
extruded aluminum, protected with an anodized surface
finish. The mast sections are interlocked into each other
when assembled, by internally mounted slide pads at the
top and bottom of each mast section. These slide pads
run up and down in slide pad channels on each side of
the mast.
The mast assembly contains a different number of mast
sections as shown following;

Device
Assembly procedures for all mast sections is basically the
same, carefully slide the mast sections together until mast
ends are even. (When sliding the mast sections together,be careful not to scratch the anodized surface). Assemble
the hardware to the bottom of mast section first, slide this
section out the top of previous section and assemble
hardware to the top of mast. Always install slide pad shims
with slide pads inserted into the slide pad channels, (endsof mast sections even). Applying Krytox Lubricant (JLG-P/
N- 3020041) onto the slide pad channels before assembly
will help mast sections slide easier after slide pads have
been properly shimmed.

place a flatwasher under head of each bolt.
NOTE: The platform mounting section slide pads, are
assembled differently than the slide pads for the
other mast sections. Mast section-3 slide pads may
need to be assembled/disassembled several times in
order to determine the correct shim stock required
for proper fit.
19. Complete the following steps to determine shim
stock thickness required for section-3;
NOTE: Always use an even amount of shim material behind
slide pads on both sides of the mast rails. This will
keep mast sections centered in rail channels and
prevent any distortion of the section.
a. Use two shim pieces per slide pad, a thick one
and a thin one.
b. Start with a total thickness of approximately
.035" and .075" thick shim stock.
c. Attach shim stock and slide pads to both sides
of mast section-5 using five (5) 1/4"-20UNC x 11/4" long, hex head cap screws per side, with
flatwasher under each bolt head. (Assemble
shim stock and slide pad to mast section rail with
shim stock against rail and slide pad with beveled side out).
d. Carefully thread the slide pad mounting bolts
with flat washers through slide pads and shim
stock into threads in mast section-5. Be certain
there are no air gaps between shims, shim and
mast or shim and slide pad when tightened.
NOTE: Mast section-3 into section-2 fit should be very snug
but still be able to be pushed together by hand. If too
tight, remove section-3, disassemble slide pad and
reduce thickness of shim stock.

SECTION 6 - TROUBLESHOOTING
SECTION 6. TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1GENERAL
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.
6.2TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the aerial
platform are listed and defined in Table 6-1., 9MP - Troubleshooting.
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
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 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.
6.3ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
CHECKS
(See Figure 6-1. and Figure 6-2.)
The first reference for improper function of a electrical/
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.
NOTE: For aid in Hydraulic troubleshooting, refer to Figure
6-1., Hydraulic Schematic. (9MP) (2792581-A) in this
section. For ELECTRICAL Diagrams refer to Figure
6-2., Electrical Diagram. (9MP - 12 Volt) (4933269A), also within this chapter.
