SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
SECTION A. INTRODUCT ION - MAINT ENA NCE SA FETY
PRECAUTIONS
AGENERAL
This section contains the general s afety precaution s
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 themsel ves 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 considerat ion
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of weight. Never atte mpt 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 MAINTENANC E,
SAFETY IN THIS AREA RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR.
BHYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems
operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should b e made to reli eve any s ystem
pressure prior to discon nectin g or removin g any portio n of
the system.
CMAINTENANCE
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN
THIS SECTION MAY RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSONNEL
INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
• NO SMOKING IS MANDATORY. NEVER REFUEL DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS. ENSURE THAT FUEL
CAP IS CLOSED AND SECU RE AT ALL OTHER
TIMES.
• REMOVE ALL RINGS, WATCHES AND JEWELRY
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
• DO NOT WEAR LONG HAIR UNRESTRAINED, OR
LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING AND NECKTIES WHICH
ARE APT TO BECOME CAUGHT ON OR ENTANGLED
IN EQUIPMENT.
• OBSERVE AND OBEY ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MACHINE AND IN SERVICEMANUAL.
• KEEP OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC. WIPED FROM
STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS.
• USE CAUTION WHEN CHECKING A HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT SYSTEM.
• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED BOOM UNTIL
BOOM HAS BEEN SA FELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY
MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING,
OR BOOM SAFETY PROP HAS BEEN ENGAGED.
• BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
2.1GENERAL
This section provides information necessary to per form
maintenance on the aerial platform. 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 rem oval 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 inf ormation is prov ided to a ssist you in t he
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 atte mpt 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.
Component 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 perpend icular as possibl e to top of par t being
lifted.
2. Should it be necessary to remove a c omponent on
an angle, keep in mind that the capacity of an eyebolt or similar bracket lessens, as th e an gle between
the supporting structure and the component
becomes less than 90 degrees.
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 r e assembling a compon ent, complete the procedural steps in sequence. Do not part ially
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, ot her than
those recommended, without obtaining proper approval.
Pressure Fit Parts
When assembling pressure fit parts, use an “anti-seize” or
molybdenum disulfid e base co mpound to l ubricate 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 oil supplies clean; however, these items must
be maintained on a s chedu led ba sis i n o rder to func tion properly.
2. At any time when hydraulic oil lines are disconnected, clear adjacent areas as well as the openings
3120884– JLG Lift –2-1
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
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 bea ring.
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 be installed.
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 in sta lled on a sh aft, apply pres su re 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.
Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring
Clearly mark or tag hydraulic lines and electrical wiring, as
well as their receptacles, when discon nec ting or removing
them from the unit. This will assure that they are correctly
reinstalled.
Hydraulic System
1. Keep the system clean. If evidence of metal or rubber particles are found i n the hydraulic system, drain
and flush the entire system.
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 man ual, at
the specified interval. 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 Lubricati on Chart.
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.

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
2.3LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Hydraulic System
1. The primary enemy of a hydraulic system is contamination. Contaminants enter the system by various
means, e.g.; inadequate hydr aulic oil, allowi ng moisture, grease, filings, sealing componen ts, sand, etc.
to enter when performing maintenance, or by permitting the pump to cavitate due to insufficient system warm-up.
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 at the specified intervals
required in Section 1. Always examine filters for evidence of metal particles.
3. Cloudy oils indicate a high moisture content which
permits organic gr ow t h, res ulting in oxidation or corrosion. If this conditi on occurs, the system mu st 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 DTE-11 Hydra ulic O il, wh ich
has an SAE viscosity of 10W and a viscosity index of
140.
NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system with oil temperatures
below -29 degrees C. is not recommended. If it is
necessar y to sta r t the sy ste m in a sub- zero envi ron ment, it will be necessary to heat the oil with a low
density 100VAC heater to a minimum temperature of
-29 degrees C.
sesses the same antiwear and rust protection ch aracteristics as mineral oils, but will not adversely
affect ground water or the environment when spilled
or leaked in small amounts. Mobil EAL224H has a
viscosity of 34 cST at 40° C and a viscosity index of
213. The operating range of this oil is -18° C to +83°
C.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MOBIL EAL224H HYDRAULIC OIL BE
STORED ABOVE FREEZING (0 C) AS THE OIL MAY APPEAR
CLOUDY AFTER EXPOSURE TO LOW TEMPERATURES FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE CLOUDINESS WILL DISAPPEAR
WHEN THE OIL IS WARME D TO AT L EAST 1 0 C AND AG ITATED. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO "THIN" THE OIL WITH NO.2 DIESEL FUEL. FOR
BEST RESULTS, STORE THE OIL ABOVE FREEZING.
NOTE: Accidentally mixing Mobil EAL224 H hydraulic oil wi th
other mineral oils will cause no loss of performance
characteristics. However, biodegradability may be
reduced and toxicity may be increased, depending
on the oil and level of contamination.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Use of any of the recommended hydraulic oils eliminates the need for changing the oil on a regular
basis. However, filter elements must be changed
after the first 50 hours of operation and every 300
hours thereafter. If it is necessary to change the oil,
use only those oils meeting or ex ceeding 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 ch an ging the hydraulic oil every two years.
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 dow n, 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.
3. Some machines may be specially equipped with
Mobil EAL224H biodegradable and non-toxic
hydraulic oil. This oil is vegetable oil based and pos-

Lubrication Specifications
Specified lubricants, as recommended by the component
manufacturers, are always th e best choice, however,
multi-purpose greases usually have the qualities which
meet a variety of single purpose requirements. Should
any question arise regarding the use of greases in maintenance stock, consul t your local supp lier for eval uation.
Refer to Section 1 for an expl anation of the lub ricant ke y
designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.
2.4BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND
CHARGING
Battery Maintenance, Qu arterly
1. Open battery compartment cover to allow access to
battery terminals and vent caps.
WHEN ADDING WATER TO BATTERIES, ADD WATER UNTIL ELECTROLYTE COVERS PLATES. DO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES
UNLESS ELECTROLYTE COVERS THE PLATES.
NOTE: When adding distilled water to batteries , no n-metalli c
containers and/or funnels must be used.
To avoid electrolyte overflow, add distilled water to
batteries after charging.
When adding water to the battery, fill only to level
indicated or 9.5 mm above separators.
3. Remove battery cables from each battery post one
at a time, negative first. Clean cables with acid neutralizing solution (e.g. baking soda and water or
ammonia) and wire brush. Replace cables and/or
cable clamp bolts as re quired.
4. Clean battery post with wire brush then re-connect
cable to post. Coat non-contact surfaces with mineral grease or petroleum jelly.
5. When all cables and terminal posts have been
cleaned, ensure all cables are properly positioned
and do not get pinched. Close battery compartment
cover.
6. Start hydraulic system and ensure that it functions
properly.

TO AVOID INJURY FROM AN EXPLOSION, DO NOT SMOKE OR
ALLOW SPARKS OR A FLAME NEAR BATTERY DURING SERVICING. ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING BATTERIES.
Battery Charging (On Board Charger)
1. For maximum battery life:
a. Avoid completely discharging the batteries.
b. Fully charge the batteries each day the machine
is used.
c. Charge the batteries at available times between
charging.
d. Be sure the battery fluid covers the battery
plates before charging, but to avoid overflow, do
not top off the fluid level until charging.
2. To charge the batteries, connect the charger to a
115 volt source with a 15 amp minimum capacity.
3. The Charger will shut off automatically when the batteries are fully charged.
4. The charge cycle is complete when the ammeter
reads 0 amps. Any reading indicates the charge
cycle is not complete.
5. Depleted batteries will take approximately 17 hours
to charge.
2.5CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
Upper Boom Lift, Mid Boom Lift, Lower
Boom Lift, T e lescope, Slave, Master , Rotator,
and Steer
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.
Figure 2-2. Batteries and Battery Charger
2-6– JLG Lift –3120884
Holding valves are used in the Lift circuits to prevent
retraction of the cylin der rod should a hydr aulic line rupture or leak develop between t he cylin der and it s relat ed
control valve.
2.6CYLINDER CHECKING PROCEDURES
NOTE: Cylinder checks must be performed any time a cylin-
der component is repl ac ed o r wh en im pro pe r syste m
operation is suspected.
Cylinder Without Counterbalance Valves
(Steer, Master, and Rotate)
1. Using all applicable safety precautions, activate
hydraulic system and fully extend cylinder to be
checked. Shut down hydraulic system.
2. Carefully disconnect hydraulic ho se from retra ct port
of cylinder. There will be initial weeping of hydraulic
fluid which can be caught in a suitable container.
After initial discharge, there should be no further
leakage from the retract port.
3. Activate hydraulic system, and activate cylinder
extend function.
4. If cylinder retract port leakage is less than 6-8 drops
per minute, carefully reconnect hose to retract port
and retract cylinder. If leakage continues at a rate of
6-8 drops per minute or more, cylinder repairs must
be made.
5. With cylinder fully retracted, shut down motor and
carefully disconnect hydraulic hose from cylinder
extend port.
6. Activate hydraulic system and activate cylinder
retract function. Check extend port for leakage.
7. If extend port leakage is less than 6-8 drops per
minute, carefully reconnect hose to extend port,

2.20 SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
For proper drive operation, the spe ed sensors must be
properly installed and adjusted. The sensor operates on a
leading pulse to show direction. If installed wrong, the
sensor will not be able to sense the proper direction.
IF BOTH SPEED SENSORS ARE INSTALLED WRONG, THE CONTROLLER WILL THINK THE MACHINE IS ON A HILL AND WILL GO
INTO FULL SPEED MODE IMMEDIATELY WHEN DRIVE IS
SELECTED. THE MACHINE WIL L NOT STOP UNLE SS THE FOOTSWITCH IS RELEASED OR THE EMS IS PUSHED IN.
IF ONLY ONE SENSOR IS INSTALLED WRONG, THE CONTROLLER SENSES A PROBLEM AND THE MACHINE WILL ONLY DRIVE
AT CREEP SPEED. IF BOTH SENSORS ARE ADJUSTED TOO FAR
OUT, THE CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROLLER WILL NOT DRIVE
THE MACHINE.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Back off the locking nut and o-ring.
2. Thread the sensor in until it bottoms out (don’t use
excessive force).
3. Back-off 1-2 turns and align the notch with the axis
of the brake. Refer to Figure 2-37., Speed Sensor

Introduction
WHEN INSTALLING A NEW POWER MODULE CONTROLLER ON
THE MACHINE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO PROGRAM THE CONTROLLER FOR THE PROPER MACHINE CONFIGURATION,
INCLUDING OPTIONS.
IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO AVOID PRESSURE-WASHING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. SHOULD PRESSUREWASHING BE UTILIZED TO WASH AREAS CONTAINING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, JLG INDUSTRIES, INC. RECOMMENDS A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF 52 BAR (750 PSI) AT A
MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 30.5 CM (12 INCHES) AWAY FROM THESE
COMPONENTS. IF ELECTRICAL /ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
ARE SPRAYED, SPRAYING MUST NOT BE DIRECT AND BE FOR
BRIEF TIME PERIODS TO AVOID HEAVY SATURATION.
The JLG designed Control System is a 48 volt based
motor control unit installed on the boom lift.
The JLG Control System has reduced the need for
exposed terminal strips, diodes and trimpots and provides
simplicity in viewing and adjusting the various personality
settings for smooth control of: acceleration, decelerati on,
creep and max.-speed for all boom, drive, and steer ing
functions.
3120884– JLG Lift –2-45
SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
The upper lift, swing, and d rive a re con trolled b y indi vidu al
joysticks, with steeri ng bein g con trolled by a rocker s witc h
built into the top the drive joystick. To activate Drive, Lift,
and Swing simply pull up on the slide lock location on the
joystick and move the handle into the direction desired.
The motor controll er will cont rol current output, as programmed for smoo th op erati on an d ma ximum c ycle ti me.
Ground control speeds for all boom functions can also be
programmed into the motor controller. The motor controller also feature s an ad justabl e time l imit for posit ive traction.
The JLG Control System controller has a built in LED to
indicate any faults. The system stores recent faults which
may be accessed for troubl eshooting. Optional equipment includes an hour meter, beacon light, function cutout, and ground alarm. These options may be added later
but must be programmed into t he motor controlle r when
installed.
The Control System may be accessed in one of two ways:
Utilizing a custom designed, hand held analyzer (Analyzer, JLG part no. 1600244 & Cable, J LG part no.
1600633) which will display two lines of i nformation at a
time, by scrolling through the program.
NOTE: Eac h module has a label with the JLG par t numbe r
and a serial number which contain s a date code.
To Connect the JLG Control System
Analyzer
1. Connect the four pin end of the cable supplied with
the analyzer, to the motor controller module located
in the platform box or at the power module and connect the remaining end of the cable to the analyzer.
NOTE: The cable has a four pin connector at each end of
the cable; the cable cannot be connected backwards.
2. Power up the Control System by turning the lower
key to the platform or ground position and pulling
both emergency stop buttons on.
Using the Analyzer
With the machine power on and the analyzer connected
properly, the analyzer will display the following:
The following instruct io ns are for using the hand held ana lyzer.
HELP:
PRESS ENTER
At this point, using the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys, you
can move between the top level menu items. To select a
displayed menu item, press ENTER. To cancel a selected
menu item, press ESC.; then you will be able to scroll
using the right and left arrow keys to select a different
menu item.

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES
The top level menus are as follows:
HELP
DIAGNOSTICS
ACTIVATE TEST
ACCESS LEVEL
PERSONALITIES
MACHINE SETUP
LEVEL VEHICLE (level 1 only)
CALIBRATION S (view only)
If you press ENTER, at the HELP : PRESS ENTER display,
and a fault is present, the analyzer display will scroll the
fault across the screen. If there was no fault detected, the
display will read: HELP: EVERYTHING OK. If powered up
at the ground station, the display will read: GROUND OK.
If ENTER is pressed again, the display moves to the following display:
Pressing ENTER with any of the above displayed menus,
will display additional sub-menus within the selected
menu. In some cases, such as DRIVE, the next level is the
parameter or information to be changed. Refer to the flow
chart for what menus are available within the top level
menus. You may only view the pers onality settings for
selected menus while in access level 2. Remember, you
may always cancel a selected menu item by pressing the
ESC. key.
Changing the Access Level of the Hand Held
Analyzer
When the analyzer is first connected, you will be in access
level 2 which enables you to only view most settings
which cannot be changed until you enter a password to
advance to a lower level. This ensures that a setting cannot be accidentally altered. To change the access level,
the correct password must be entered. To enter the password, scroll to the ACCESS LEVEL menu. For example:
LOGGED HELP
1: STARTUP (2/1)
At this point, the analyzer will display the last fault the system has seen, if any are present. You may scroll through
the fault logs to view what the last 25 faults were. Use the
right and left arrow keys to scroll through the fault logs. To
return to the beginning, press ESC. two times. STARTUP(2/1) indicates a power up.
When a top level menu is selected, a new set of menu
items may be offered: for example:
DRIVE
BOOM
SYSTEM
DATALOG

MENU:
ACCESS LEVEL 2
Press ENTER to select the ACCESS LEVEL menu.
Using the UP or DOWN arrow keys, enter the first digit of
the password, 3.
Then using the RIGHT arrow key, position the cursor to
the right one space to enter the second digit of the password.
Use the UP or DOWN arrow key to enter the second digit
of the password which is 33271.

Machine Setup
When a machine digit item is selected, pr ess the UP or
DOWN arrow keys to adjust its value, for example:
There is a setting that JLG strongly recommends that you
do not change. This setting is so noted below:
ELEVATION CUTBACK
CHANGING THIS SETTING MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR MACHINE.
ITS IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO AVOID PRESSURE-WASHING
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. SHOULD PRESSUREWASHING BE UTILIZED TO WASH AREAS CONTAINING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CO MPONENTS, JLG IN DUSTRIES INC. RE COMMENDS A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF 52 BAR (750 PSI) AT A
MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 30.5CM (12 INCHES) AWAY FROM THESE
COMPONENTS. IF ELECTRICAL /ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
ARE SPRAYED, SPRAYING MUST NOT BE DIRECT AND BE FOR
BRIEF TIME PERIODS TO AVOID HEAVY SATURATION.
GROUND AL ARM:

The effect of the machine digit value is disp layed along
with its value. The above display would be selected if the
machine was equipped with a ground alarm and you
wanted it to sound when driving. There are certain settings allowed to install optional features or select the
machine model.
When selection the machine model to match the size of
the machine, the personality settings will all default to the
factory recommended setting.
NOTE: Refer to Table 2-5, Personality Ranges/Defaults, and
Table 2-6, Machine Setup Descriptions in this Service Manual f or the rec omme nded factory settings.

POWER MODULE FAILURE: HWFS CODE 17
The hardware failsafe tests failed because the contactor drive failsafe tripped too quickly.
POWER MODULE FAILURE: HWFS TEST STALLED
The hardware failsafe tests did not complete, but no reason can be determined.
POWER MODULE FAILURE: BAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor measurement is invalid, this is probably due to a disconnected wire within the
power module. The possibility of other disconnected wires (which could cause dangerous system function)
means that the controller is shut down.
POWER MODULE FAILURE: S/C LINE CONTACTOR DRIVER The line contactor energized when the footswitch was closed, before it was turned on, this is probably due to a failed driver within the power module,
although it could be due to bad power module wirings

2.25 GENERATOR
NOTE: Throughout the Generator section, the abbreviations
RBS and CTS are used. RBS stands for Rotary Battery System, which is the generator system. CTS
stands f or Ca ll To Start, which is the el ec tronic inputs
which signal the generator to start and charge the
batteries.
The generator consists of a drive engine, controller, and
related components.
• Alternator
The alternator is a brushless, D C output alte rnator. The 3
phase output of the alternator is full wave rectified and
directed to the output terminator .
The output rating is 58 volts DC at 55 amps. Voltage regulation and current limiting is provided by the Engine/Generator Controller.
The rectifier diodes and output current sensor are located
in the alternator end.
• Dynamo and Dynamo Voltage Regulator
The engine is equipped with a 12 Volt, 15 Amp DC output
dynamo.
• Dynamo Output Fuse
The dynamo output fuse is used to protect the output of
the dynamo. This fuse is rated at 20 Amps DC, slow blow
and is located on the left side of the engine.
• Control Fuse
This fuse provides power to the engine/generator and the
relays for start control, fuel control, and pre-heater. This
fuse is rated at 15 Amps DC and is located on the right
side of the engine.
• Start Battery
A 12 volt lead-acid battery is utilized to provide starting
power for the generator and power for the generator controls. This battery is charged by the engine dynamo and
dynamo regulator when the engine is running.
• Start Control Rela y
The start control relay energizes the solenoid of the
engine starter and the pull coil of the engine fuel solenoid.
The start control relay is located on the fuel solenoid
bracket on th e right side of the en gine. Th e start co ntrol
relay is energized by the engine/generator controller.
• Fuel Control Relay
The fuel control relay energizes the hold coil of the fuel
solenoid. The fuel con trol relay is energi zed by the
engine/generator controller.
• Fuel Solenoid
The fuel solenoid actuates the run/stop lever of the
engine. This solenoid has a pull and hold coil. The pull coil
is energized by the start control relay and t he hold coil is
energized by the fuel control relay.
• Engine Oil Temperature Sensor
The engine oil temperature sensor is used to sense t he
temperature of the oil in the sump of the engine. This sensor provides a signal to the engine/generator controller for
high engine temperature shutdown.
• Alternator Output Current Sensor
The alternator output curren t se nsor pr ovid es a si gnal p roportional to the output current of the alternator to the
engine/generator controller. This signal is used by the
controller to regulate the current output of the alternator.
The output current is regulated at 55 Amps DC. The alternator output current sensor is located inside the rear
cover of the alternator.
• Engine Speed Sensor
The engine speed sensor provides a signal proportional
to the rotational speed of the engine to the engine/generator controller. This signal is used by the co ntro ller to determine starter cut-out, overspeed fault, and underspeed
fault. This signal has failsafe protection, if it is not present
at the controller, the unit will fault with a loss of speed signal indication. The engine speed sensor is located inside
the recoil starter cover at the front of the engine.
• Engine Starter
The engine is equipped with a 12 Volt DC starter. This
starter provides mechanical pow er to crank the engine.
Electrical power for the starter is provided by the start battery . The starter is energized by the start control relay.
• Engine Low Oil Pressure Switch
The engine is equipped with a low oil p ressure switch. T he
switch is closed when the oil pressure is below 14.2 psi (1
Bar).

Timing Sequences
• RBS Prestart Sequence
1. Time Delay Engine Start (TDES)
TDES is the perio d which the RBS waits to verify th at
the CTS is valid rather than a transient condition.
2. Time Delay Pre-Heat (TDPH)
TDPH, if enabled, occurs after TDES has elapsed
and the engine temperature is below the factory set
engine preheat temperature setting. The engine preheater will be energized for the factory set preheat
delay period.

RBS Startup Sequence
• RBS Startup Sequence
1. Crank Time
The RBS will crank for a period up to the crank time
or until the engine starts.
2. Rest Time
If the engine does not successfully start, the RBS will
wait for the rest time before attempting to crank the
engine again.
3. Crank Cycles
4. Time Delay Bypass (TDBP)
Once the engine starts, TDBP must elapse before
low oil pressure and underspeed shutdowns are
activated. This allows the engine to come up to normal operating conditions before enabling these
shutdowns are monitored.

Crank Time -> Rest Time
(Until Engine Start or # of
Crank Cycles)
TDBP Bypass
Normal Running Operation
• RBS Shutdown Sequence
Once all CTS conditions ha ve been remo ved, the RBS will
begin the shutdown sequen ce. If a CTS cond ition i s initiated during the shutdown sequence, the RBS will return to
normal running operation until the CTS is removed.
1. Time Delay Engine Run (TDER)
Once the CTS condition is removed, the TDER
period begins. This period ensures that no further
CTS conditions occur prior to the cooldown period.
2. Time Delay Cooldown (TDC)
Once the TDER period ends, the alternator output is
reduced to a minimal level in order to allow the
engine to cool down for the TDC period. If a CTS is
received during the TDC period, the CTS must last
for at least the TDES period for the RBS to return to
normal running operation.
The RBS will attempt to start the engine up until the
number of crank cycles is reached. If the RBS does
not start, an Overcrank fault is indicated.

To Connect the JLG Control System
Analyzer to the Generator
The JLG Control System Analyzer can be used to monitor
generator settings and conditions. Connect the analyzer
as follows:
1. Connect the four pin end of the cable supplied with
the analyzer, to the connector behind the ground
control module located on the left side of the
machine next to the g rou n d cont ro l st at ion a nd co nnect the remaining end of the cable to the analyzer.
The ground control mo dul e co ntai ns the s ettin gs for
the generator.
NOTE: The cable has a four pin connector at each end of
the cable; the cable cannot be connected backwards.
2. Power up the A nalyzer by pulling out the ground station EMS and positioning the Generator Enable
switch on the platform control box to the "on" position. Refer to Figure 2-49., Generator System Analyzer Flow Chart
Alarms and Fault Flash Codes
In the event of an RB S al arm, a fl ash code will be issued
and an alarm indicated on the analyzer.

• Overspeed
If the engine speed exceeds the overspeed limit, the
engine will stop immediately and an overspeed alarm will
be indicated.
• Underspeed
Enabled once TDBP (time delay bypass) period has
elapsed after engine st artup. If the engine spee d drops
below the unde rspeed lim it, th e engine will stop im mediately and an engine underspeed alarm will be indicated.
• Overcrank
If the engine fails to start after a set number of start
attempts, the RB S will cease atte mpts to restart and an
engine overcrank alarm will be indicated.
• No Speed Signal
In the event of a loss of speed signal, the RBS will shutdown and an engine no speed signal alarm will be indicated. This shutdown is delayed by a factory set period to
ensure the fault was not momentary.
• Overvoltage
If the voltage measured at the alternator output exceeds
the high voltage setting, the RBS will stop immediately
and an RBS high output alarm will be indicated. This shutdown is delayed by a factory set period to ensure the fault
was not caused by a transient condition. This feature protects the batteries and load from high DC voltages.
Output Current and Voltage Settings
• Normal/Extended Output Voltage
The normal/extended output voltage setting is the voltage
at which the alternator changes under normal operating
conditions.
• Current Limit
The current limit setting determines the maximum alternator output current.
• High Voltage Shutdown Level
This setting determines the alternator output voltage at
which the high voltage shutdown occurs . This p rotects the
load from abnormally high voltages.
• Finish Charging Current
The finish charging current determin es the level of the current alternator output must drop below for a low battery
voltage CTS to be re moved . This ensure s that th e bat teries have accepted sufficient charge prior to shutting down
the RBS. This level is used along with the low battery voltage remove CTS leve l to determine when the RB S
removes the CTS after a low battery voltage CTS. If the
charging curre nt falls b elow th e finis h chargin g current
while another CTS is active, the RBS will contin ue to operate at the nor mal/ex tende d outpu t vol tage unti l all CT S’s
are removed.
• Engine Starting System Fault
Indicates a problem with either the engine start battery,
engine magneto, or magneto voltage regulator.
• Loss Of Voltage Sense
If the voltage measured at the alternator output is less
than half of the system nominal voltage, the RBS will stop
immediately and an RB S loss of voltage sen se alarm wil l
be indicated. This feature prote cts the batteries and l oad
from high DC voltages due to a loss of output control.
• Run Inhibited
The RBS unit is disabled by the run in h ibited input.

SECTION 3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1GENERAL
This section contains troubleshooting info rmation to be
used for locating and correcting most of the operating
problems which may develop. If a problem should
develop which is not presented in this section or which is
not corrected by listed corrective actions, technically qual ified guidance should be obtained before proceeding with
any maintenance.
3.2TROUBLESHOOTING.
The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the aerial
platform are listed and defined i n Tables 3-1 through 3-6.
As an aid to table use, the aerial platform is divided into
four major groups, each covered separately within this
section. These groups are as follows: elevation system,
chassis assembly, hydraulic system and electrical system.
Each malfunction with in an indi vidual group or sy stem is
followed by a listing of probable causes which will enable
determination of t he 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 proble ms which
are symptomatic of greater problems which have more
that 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 lack ing hydraul ic oil and electrical control
power. This can be ascertained by overriding the bypass
valve so that oil is available to the function valv e, then
overriding the function valve mechanicall y. If the function
performs satisfactorily, the problem exists with the control
circuit.
3.3HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT CHECKS.
The 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, beginni ng with the
control, would follow. For aid in troubleshooting, refer to
the Illustrated Parts Manu al for hydraul ic diagrams o f the
various circuits
