1.6SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Following are general safety statements to consider
BEFORE performing maintenance procedures on the
telehandler. Additional statements related to specific
tasks and procedures are located throughout this manual
and are listed prior to any work instructions to provide
safety information before the potential of a hazard occurs.
For all safety messages, carefully read, understand and
follow the instructions BEFORE proceeding.
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 tools only as recommended.
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: Immediately clean, dress and report all 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 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
750 psi (52 bar) at a minimum distance of 12 in (30,5 cm)
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.

Safety Practices
1.6.4Operational Hazards
ENGINE: Stop the engine before performing any service
unless specifically instructed otherwise.
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 be on a hard level surface, with the wheels
blocked before performing any service.
FLUID PRESSURE: Before loosening any hydraulic 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 fluid and diesel fuel
leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin, cause
infection, gangrene and other serious personal injury.
Engine fuel lines are pressurized. DO NOT attempt
repairs unless specific training has been completed.
Refer to the engine manufacturers’ manual for specific
details concerning the fuel system.
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.
COOLANT SYSTEM CAP: The cooling system is under
pressure, and escaping coolant can cause severe burns
and eye injury. To prevent personal injury, NEVER
remove the coolant system cap while the cooling system
is hot. Wear safety glasses. Turn the coolant system cap
to 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.
Properly disconnect battery(s) prior to servicing the fuel
or hydraulic systems.
NEVER drain or store fluids in an open container. Engine
fuel and hydraulic fluid 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 proper
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.
1.7SAFETY 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 than JLG authorized replacement parts can
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.

3.2BOOM SYSTEM—THREE SECTION
3.2.1Boom System Operation
The three section boom consists of the first, second and
third assemblies with a single extend chain, and a single
retract chain.
As the extend/retract cylinder, which is anchored at the
rear of the first boom section, and the front of the push
beam begins to extend, it forces the second and third
boom sections out of the first boom section.
The boom sections are connected by extend and retract
chains. These chains are routed around sheaves on the
front of the push beam and the rear of the second boom
section. As the extend/retract cylinder is forced out
hydraulically, the second boom section is pulled out by
the push beam, and third boom section is pulled out by
the extend chain.
As hydraulic pressure is applied to the retract port on the
extend/retract cylinder, the retract chain pulls the third
boom section and the push beam pulls the second boom
section back into the first boom section.
The mechanical linkage formed by the chains and
supporting hardware, extend and retracts the second and
third boom sections at the same rate.
The boom section lifts and lowers via action of the lift/
lower cylinder.
3.3BOOM ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
These instructions provide the complete boom assembly
removal and installation or the second and third boom
sections removal and installation.
Before beginning, conduct a visual inspection of machine

3.11BOOM EXTEND AND
RETRACT CHAINS
3.11.1Boom Chain Inspection
WARNING
Worn pins, stretched or cracked links or corrosive
environments can cause chain failure. A chain failure
could result in uncontrolled boom movement, loss of
load or machine instability.
Under normal operating conditions the boom extend/
retract chains will need to be exposed and inspected
every1000hours of operation. Environmental conditions
and dynamic impulse/shock loads can drastically affect
normal operating conditions and require more frequent
inspection intervals.
Environments in which material handling vehicles
operate can vary widely from outdoor moisture to
temperature to mildly corrosive or highly corrosive
industrial atmospheres, in addition to abrasive
exposures such as sand and grit. Some effects can be
as follows:
• Moisture—Corrosive rusting reduces chain
strength by pitting and cracking.
• Temperature—Low temperature reduces chain
strength by embrittlement. Going in and out of
cold storage results in moisture from
condensation.
• Chemical Solutions or Vapors—Corrosive attack
on the chain components and/or the mechanical
connections between the chain components.
Cracking can be (and often is) microscopic.
Going from microscopic cracking to complete
failure can be either abrupt or may require an
extended period of time.
Following are some examples of dynamic shock loading
which can impose abnormal loads above the endurance
limit of a leaf chain.
• High velocity movement of load, followed by
sudden, abrupt stops.
• Carrying loads in suspension over irregular
surfaces such as railroad tracks, potholes, and
rough terrain.
• Attempting to “inch” loads which are beyond the
rated capacity of the vehicle.
The above load cycles and environmental conditions
make it impossible to predict chain life. It is therefore
necessary to conduct frequent inspections until
replacement life can be predicted.
The boom chain’s normal life expectancy can be
expressed as a maximum percent of elongation. This is
generally 3%. As the chain flexes back and forth over the
sheave, the bearing joints (pins and inside link plates)
gradually incur wear due to articulation.
3.11.2Expose Chains for Inspection
The extend/retract chains are only partially visible
through the rear of the boom with all the sections
retracted. It is possible to see a section of the retract
chain as the boom is slowly extended. If there is ANY
question that extend/retract chains are damaged, the
chains should be removed and inspected. Refer to
Section 3.6, “Extend/Retract Chain Removal/
Installation,” for detailed information. Replace chains if
necessary.
Note: DO NOT attempt to repair a chain. Replace a
stretched or damaged chain with a new part. Always
replace both the chain and the clevis. It is recommended
that when any chain is replaced, that all chains and clevis’ be replaced at the same time.
• Abrasives—Accelerated wearing and scoring of
the articulating members of the chain (pins and
plates), with a corresponding reduction in chain
strength. Due to the inaccessibility of the bearing
surfaces (pin surfaces and plate apertures),
wear and scoring are not readily noticeable to
the naked eye.

3.11.3Inspection Guidelines
Edge Wear
Check the chain for wear on the link plate edges
caused by running back and forth over the sheave.
The maximum reduction of material should not
exceed 5%. Measure and compare to a normal link
plate height by measuring a portion of chain that
does not run over the sheave. If the measured plate
height (1) is 5% less than the normal plate height
(2), discard and replace the chain.
Elongation
It is important to measure chain in section that
moves over sheaves because it receives most
frequent articulation. Measuring chain near its clevis
terminals could give an inaccurate reading. Ends of
chains, near clevis terminal, will not have flexed as
frequently, if at all, as the middle of chains.
It is best to measure in 12 pin increments from pin
center to pin center. For example, if links are one
inch from pin center to pin center, distance should be
12 in (305 mm). If links are 3/4 in (9,5 mm) apart,
distance after 12 pins should be 9 in (229 mm).
Distorted or Battered Link Plates
Distorted or battered link plates (5) on a leaf chain can
cause tight joints and prevent flexing.
Turning or Protruding Pins
Highly loaded chain, operating with inadequate
lubrication can generate abnormal frictional forces
between pin and link plates. When chain is allowed
to operate in this condition, a pin or series of pins,
can begin to twist out of a chain, resulting in failure
.
Examine pin head rivets to determine if “VEE” flats
are still in correct alignment (6). Chain with rotated/
displaced heads (7) or abnormal pin protrusion (8)
should be replaced immediately.
DO NOT attempt to repair chain by welding or
driving pin(s) back into chain. Once the press fit
integrity between outside plates and pins has been
altered, it cannot be restored.
Any wear pattern on the pin heads or the sides of the
link plates indicates misalignment in the system.
This condition damages the chain as well as
increases frictional loading and should be corrected.
If distance measured (3) is 3% greater than normal
length (4), discard and replace chain.

Cracked Plates
Inspect chains very carefully, front and back as well
as side to side, for any evidence of cracked plates. If
any one crack is discovered, the chain should be
replaced in its entirety.
It is important, however to determine the cause of
the crack before installing a new chain so the
condition does not repeat itself.
The types of cracks are:
• Fatigue Cracking—
Fatigue cracks (9) are a
result of repeated
cyclic loading beyond
the chain’s endurance
limit.
• Stress Corrosion
Cracking—The
outside link plates
are particularly
susceptible to stress
corrosion cracking (10).
• Corrosion Fatigue Cracking—Corrosion
fatigue cracks are very similar to fatigue
cracks in appearance. Corrosion fatigue is the
combined action of an aggressive
environment and cyclic stress.
Other Modes of Failure
• Ultimate Strength
Failure—These types of
failures are caused by
overloads far in excess of
the design load. Either
fractured plates (1) or
enlarged holes (2) can
occur. If either of these
failures occurs, the chain should be replaced
immediately.
3.11.4Chain Lubrication
After inspection and before being returned to service,
chains must be lubricated. Refer to Section 2.5, “Fluid
and Lubricant Capacities.”
The lubricant must penetrate the chain joint to prevent
wear. Applying lubricant to the external surfaces will
prevent rust, but the chains should be articulated to
make sure the lubricant penetrates to the working
surfaces between the pins and links.
To prepare the chain for lubrication, the chain plates
should be brushed with a stiff brush or wire brush to
clear the space between the plates so that lubricant can
penetrate to the working surfaces.
Lubricant may be applied with a narrow paint brush or
directly poured on, but the chain should be well flooded
with lubricant and the boom should be extended and
retracted to be sure that the lubricant penetrates to the
working surfaces. All surplus lubricant should be wiped
away from the external surfaces. DO NOT use a solvent
for this wiping operation.
Regular application of lubricant is necessary to make
sure that all working surfaces are adequately lubricated.
In extremely dusty conditions, it may be necessary to
lubricate the chains more often.
Lubrication of chains on vehicles working consistently in
extreme hot or cold conditions requires special
consideration. It is important that a reputable lubrication
specialist, a local JLG Distributor or the vehicle distributor
be consulted for guidance.
•Tight Joints
—All joints in
the chain
should flex
freely. Tight
joints (3)
resist flexing.
If the problem is caused by dirt or foreign substance
packed in the joints, clean and lubricate thoroughly
before re-installing the chain.
If the problem is caused by corrosion and rust or
bent pins, replace the chain.

5.6WHEELS AND TIRES
WARNING
Mismatched tire sizes, ply ratings or mixing of tire
types (radial tires with bias-ply tires) may compromise
machine stability and may cause machine to tip over.
It is recommended that a replacement tire to be same
size, ply and brand as originally installed. Refer to
appropriate parts manual for ordering information. If not
using an approved replacement tire, It is recommended
that replacement tires have the following characteristics:
• Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original.
• Tire tread contact width equal or greater
than original.
• Wheel diameter, width and offset dimensions equal
to the original.
• Approved for the application by the tire manufacturer
(including inflation pressure and maximum tire load).
The rims installed have been designed for stability
requirements which consist of track width, tire pressure
and load capacity. Size changes such as rim width,
center piece location, larger or smaller diameter, etc.,
without written factory recommendations, may result in
unsafe condition regarding stability.
Foam filled tires have a positive effect on the weight,
stability and handling characteristics of the machine,
especially under load. The use of hydrofill as a tire-fill
substance is not recommended because of possible
environmental impact.
Large-bore valve stems are used to help expedite tire
inflation and deflation. An inner tube may be used if a tire
does not provide an airtight seal. Check tire inflation
pressures when the tires are cold. When mounting a tire
on the wheel, the tire must be mounted on the wheel
respective of the directional tread pattern of the tire; this
produces a left or right tire and wheel assembly.

5.8TOWING A DISABLED MACHINE
Towing a disabled machine should only be attempted as
a last resort, after exhausting all other options. Make
every effort to repair the machine, and move it under its
own power, before using the emergency towing
procedures outlined below.
Note: Block the wheels of the machine BEFORE
attempting to release the park brake. Once the park
brake is released the machine’s park brake AND service
brakes are inoperable.
5.8.1Manually Releasing the Park Brake
Note: After machine has been towed to a secure
location, reactivate parking brake. Carefully follow
procedures from start to finish. Contact local JLG
Distributor if you are unsure about any part of the
procedure, or for specific instructions concerning your
particular situation.
5.8.2Manually Resetting the Park Brake
Note: Block the wheels of the machine BEFORE
attempting to reset the machine’s park brake. Once the
park brake is released the machine’s park brake AND
service brakes are inoperable.
1. Loosen the nuts of the screws (5) for the manual
release of the braking units. Draw the nuts back
approximately 6 mm.
2. Tighten the screws until they are gently seated on
the driving plate.
3. Carefully tighten each release screw a 1/4 turn at a
time in sequence until all have been turned on full
turn 360°.
4. Repeat steps 1 thru 3 for other side of differential.
1. Loosen each release screw (5), only 1/4 turn at a
time, in sequence, until each screw has lost contact
with the guide pin.
2. Remove screws along with nuts and seals. Replace
seals, lubricate screws with a silicone-based grease
and re-install screws along with nuts.
3. Adjust the nut of the screw heads in relation to the
arm by 1.18 in (30 mm).
4. Repeat steps 1 thru 3 for other side of differential.
5. After repairs to machine have been made, start
machine and check park brake and service brakes
for proper function. Refer to Section 8.7.4, “Service
