Safety Practices

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This service manual provides general directions for accomplishing service and repair procedures. Following the procedures in this manual will help assure safety and equipment reliability.
Read, understand and follow the information in this manual, and obey all locally approved safety practices, procedures, rules, codes, regulations and laws.
These instructions cannot cover all details or variations in the equipment, procedures, or processes described, nor provide directions for meeting every possible contingency during operation, maintenance, or testing. When additional information is desired consult the local JLG Distributor.
Many factors contribute to unsafe conditions: carelessness, fatigue, overload, inattentiveness, unfamiliarity, even drugs and alcohol, among others. For optimal safety, encourage everyone to think, and to act, safely.
Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures are essential for the safety of the individual doing the work, for the safety of the operator, and for the safe, reliable operation of the machine. All references to the right side, left side, front and rear are given from the operator’s seat looking in a forward direction.
Supplementary information is available from JLG in the form of Service Bulletins, Service Campaigns, Service Training Schools, the JLG website, other literature and through updates to the manual itself.

1.2 DISCLAIMER

1.4 DO NOT OPERATE TAGS

Place Do Not Operate Tags on the ignition key switch and the steering wheel before attempting to perform any service or maintenance. Remove key and disconnect battery leads.

1.5 SAFETY INFORMATION

To avoid possible death or injury, carefully read, understand and comply with all safety messages.
In the event of an accident, know where to obtain medical assistance and how to use a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher/fire suppression system. Keep emergency telephone numbers (fire department, ambulance, rescue squad/paramedics, police department, etc.) nearby. If working alone, check with another person routinely to help assure personal safety.

1.6 SAFETY 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.

1.6.1 Personal 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.

1.6.2 Equipment 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.

1.6.3 General 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.

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.

1.7 SAFETY DECALS

Check that all safety decals are present and readable on the machine. Refer to the Operation & Safety Manual supplied with machine for information.

Flats Method:
1. If equipped, lubricate o-ring with hydraulic oil. Hand tighten the swivel nut until no lateral movement of the swivel nut can be detected. Average hand torque is 3 lb-ft (4 Nm).
2. Mark a dot on one of swivel nut flats and another dot in line on hex of adapter it’s connecting to.
3. Use double wrench method while tightening to avoid hose twist.
4. After connection has been properly tightened, mark a straight line across the connecting parts, not covering dots indicating that connection has been properly tightened.
32 N/A
Note: By definition the “Flats Method” will contain some variance. Use the “Flats Method” only when accessibility with a torque wrench is not possible.
Torque Wrench:
1. Identify the appropriate application and refer to the above chart for the correct torque value.
2. If equipped, lubricate o-ring with hydraulic oil. Hand tighten the swivel nut until no lateral movement of the swivel nut can be detected. Average hand torque is 3 lb-ft (4 Nm).
3. Use the double wrench method while tightening to avoid hose twist.
4. Torque wrench must be held at the center of the grip. Apply constant force until it clicks.
5. After connection has been properly tightened, mark a straight line across connecting parts indicating that connection has been properly tightened.

3.2 BOOM SYSTEM—THREE SECTION

3.2.1 Boom 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.

3.3 BOOM 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 and work area, and review task about to be undertaken. Read, understand and follow these instructions. Boom assembly consists of first, second and third section booms and supporting hardware.
Note: Before removing the boom or boom section, the carriage or any other attachment must be removed from the quick switch.
Before beginning, conduct a visual inspection of machine and work area, and review task about to be undertaken. Read, understand and follow these instructions.

3.11 BOOM EXTEND AND RETRACT CHAINS

3.11.1 Boom 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 every 1000 hours 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.

3.11.2 Expose 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.

3.11.3 Inspection 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.

3.11.4 Chain 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.

5.6 WHEELS 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.
