This section contains the general safet y precautions
which must b e o bs erved d uri ng mai nt ena nce o f th e a er ial
platform. It is of utmost importance that maintenance personnel pay strict attention to these warnings and precautions to avoid possible i njury to them selves or ot hers 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 FIE LD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANC E,
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.

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 Mob ilfluid 424 hydr aulic 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 recommends 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 add itives o r be of comp arable vis cosities. If use of hydraulic oil other than Mobilfluid 424 is
desired, contact JLG Industr ies for pr oper recommen dations.

2.3SERVI CING 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 unt il 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
perpendicul ar as pos s ible 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, th en start on anothe r.
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-f abricate 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 wh ich 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 or Torque Chart in Section
1.
2-6– JLG Lift –3121136
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring
Clearly mark or tag hydraulic li nes a nd electrical wirin g, 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 p arts on clean work surface. Clean all metal parts with non-flammable cleaning
solvent. Lubricate components, as required, to aid assembly.
Lubrication and Servicing
Componen ts and as sembli es requ iring l ubricat ion and
servicing are shown in the Lubrication Chart , (See Sec-tion-1). Servi ce applicabl e components wit h the amount,
type, and grade of lubricant recommended in this manual,
at the specified intervals . When recom mended lubric ants
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
Inspect mast chains for the follow ing condi t io ns :
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 s heave/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 lubric ation 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 chain s 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.

Chain Size
.50" pitch 12" or 24 pitches.24 in./12 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 care fully) 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 repl ace chai ns with b ent or pee ned
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 ca n 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.
Chain Anchors and Sheaves: An inspection of the cha in
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. Sheav e be arings/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 du e to ins ufficie nt sys tem wa rm-up o r leaks in
the pump supply.
The design and manufacturing toler ances 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 mus t 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 vi scosities. Good g rade min eral oils, w ith
viscosities suited to the ambient temperatures in which
the machine is operating, are recommended for use.
NOTE: Metal particles may appear in the oil of new
machines due to the wear-in of meshing components.
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 Manua l 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 specifica tions app earing i n this manua l. 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 oil s. JLG I ndus tri es rec omme nds c ha nging th e
hydraulic oil annually.
Use every precaution to keep the hydraulic oil clean. If the
oil must be pou red from the origi nal 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 be st choice, however,
multi-purpose greases usually have the qualities which
meet a variety of single purpose grease r equirements.
Should any question arise regarding the use of greases in
maintenance s t ock, cons ul t yo ur lo cal su ppl ier f o r e valu a tion. Refer to Section-1 in this Service Manual for an explanation of the lu bricant key de signatio ns appe aring in the
Lubrication Chart.

2.5POSITIONING LIFT FOR ACCESS TO
COMPONENTS LOCATED UNDER THE
BASE FRAME
Access to the underside of the VP lift can be obtained by
lifting the machine with a fork lift truck, using the fork lift
pockets in the base frame.
Lifting with a Fork Truck (See Figure 2-1.)
1. Choose a fork lift truck capable of safely handling
the full weight of the machine.
2. Locate work area on a firm, level surface.

3. When lifting with a fork truck, lift only using the fork
lift-truck pockets running the length of the machine’s
base frame from rear to front.
4. After lifting machine to desired work height, place
support stands under the machine. The support
stands must reach from the floor to the bottom of the
machine and be capable of safely handling the
weight of the machine.
