electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothing, immediately
wash it off with a large quantity of clean water.
NEVER
give fluids that would induce vomiting.
• Before working on the electrical system, disconnect the battery
cable(s). NEVER check the battery by placing a metal object across
the battery posts; the resulting spark could ignite anything flammable,
causing a fire or an explosion.
• Always disconnect the battery before welding on the machine.
CAUTION: When removing the battery, always remove the negative (–)
cable first. When installing, connect the positive (+) cable first.
Tire and Wheels Hazards
The stability of the forklift can be dramatically affected by incorrect inflation
or the lack of ballast fill. It is good practice to check your tires and wheels
on a daily basis.
Check tires for…
• The correct pressure
• Cuts or bulges
• Nails or punctures
• The proper ballast required
• Uneven or excessive wear.
Check wheels for…
• Condition of valve stems and caps, making sure valve caps are kept on
• Damage to the rims
• Missing or loose lug nuts or bolts
• Obvious misalignment.
All tire service should be performed by a qualified tire service center or by
an authorized person. This person must be properly trained in the
procedures and use of safety equipment designed for tire servicing.
31200079
When servicing wheels and tires, remember…
• NEVER over inflate a tire. Over inflation could result in an explosion.
• Punctures that could have allowed the ballast fill in a tire to leak out
must be repaired and the tire refilled with ballast before the forklift is
put back in operation.
1-5
Safety
• NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously under inflated
WITHOUT removing the tire from the wheel. Have the tire and rim
closely inspected for damage before remounting.
• Clean the area around all wheel lug nuts or bolts. Periodically check
the torque per the specifications until the torque value stabilizes; then
check at regularly scheduled intervals.
Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS)
The machines are equipped with a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)
to guard the operator if the machine tips over. The Falling Object
Protective Structure (FOPS) is built into the ROPS. The FOPS protects the
operator from falling objects.
Despite the protection of the ROPS/FOPS, it cannot protect the operator
from every possible hazard. Do not consider the ROPS/FOPS a substitute
for safe practices and good common sense.
Any modification to a ROPS/FOPS, such as welding or drilling holes in the
structural members for mounting brackets, will affect the ROPS/FOPS
capability to provide the required protection.
Decals and Placards
General
Any modification or repair without the specific written approval of JLG will
void the ROPS/FOPS certification. Contact your authorized JLG dealer
before making any modifications or repairs. Failure to do so may void the
ROPS/FOPS certification.
The decals on the machine provide instructions for safe and correct
operation. Never make modifications affecting safe operation or capacity
without the expressed written approval of JLG. When approved
modifications are made, the user is responsible for seeing that appropriate
decals, load charts, and instructions are changed.
All plates and decals must be in place and legible at all times. Damaged
placards and decals should be replaced. Clean dirty decals.
In California, the machine MUST be equipped with a Proposition 65
Warning decal.
Cleaning Decals

Fuel Requirements
Grease
Diesel fuels are blended to meet the local temperature requirements. The
standard grades are:
1. 1D for temperatures -22 to +86 °F (-30 to +30 °C)
2. 2D for temperatures +14 to +122 °F (-10 to +50 °C).
There are two main classifications of diesel fuel in general use:
1. Low-sulphur, “on-highway” diesel fuel
2. Medium-sulfur, “off-highway” diesel fuel. This fuel contains blue dye.
The engine manufacturer specifies the diesel fuel requirements. Additional
information can be found in the engine manufacturer’s Operator’s Manual.
Consult your local fuel distributor for the properties of the diesel fuels
available in your area

General Maintenance
1. Move the boost start machine (or auxiliary power source) close enough
to the stalled machine for the cables to reach without allowing the
machines to touch. Place the transmission shift selector in NEUTRAL,
engage the park brake, and turn off engine (or shut off auxiliary power
source).
2. On the stalled machine, turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) cable terminal
of the discharged battery on the stalled machine. Ensure a solid
connection. DO NOT allow positive cable clamps to touch ANYTHING
other than the battery terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the boost battery (or auxiliary power source).
5. Connect one end of the negative (–) jumper cable to the negative (–)
terminal of the boost battery (or auxiliary power source).
6. Make the final connection of the negative (–) jumper cable to the frame
of the stalled machine away from the battery, fuel and hydraulic lines,
and moving parts.
7. Start the engine on the boost machine or energize the auxiliary power
source.
8. Wait at least two minutes for the battery in the stalled machine to
partially charge.
9. Attempt to start the stalled machine (see “Starting Procedures” in your
Owner/Operator Manual).
10. Immediately after the stalled machine starts, disconnect the jumper
cables in reverse order.
These circuits are supplied by a two-section, gear-type hydraulic pump,
driven directly from the transmission power takeoff. The closest to the
shaft pump supplies flow to all circuits except steering and the steer
selector valve. The second pump supplies flow to all circuits via the
steering priority valve.
The boom extension and hoist circuits are controlled by a two-spool valve
with pressure relief. The frame tilt, carriage tilt, transfer carriage, and
auxiliary circuits are controlled by a four-spool valve (five-spool optional)
with pressure relief. The carriage tilt circuits are also equipped with two
work port relief valves. The outrigger circuits are controlled by two
additional valve sections with no-relief plugs. The steering circuit is
controlled by a steering control unit and steering mode selector valve. The
service brake circuit is controlled by a hydraulic power brake valve and
includes an accumulator.
The boom extension, boom hoist, carriage tilt, outrigger, and frame tilt
cylinders are equipped with externally mounted counterbalance valves.
The counterbalance valves prevent movement of the cylinders in event of
downstream hydraulic line failure, leakage through the main control valve
or fittings. The counterbalance valves prevent movement of the cylinders
when the engine is off, even if the control valve levers are operated. The
counterbalance valves also provide over-load relief protection.
The hydraulic reservoir is mounted on the right-hand side of the machine.
The hydraulic system return filter/magnetic separator is located at the top
of the reservoir. The strainer and suction line is located at the bottom of the
back side of the reservoir.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is critical when servicing hydraulic systems.
KEEP DIRT AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS OUT OF THE SYSTEM!
Small particles can score valves, seize pumps and clog orifices, causing
expensive repair jobs.
Steam clean or use solvents to clean the area of the machine around a
hydraulic component before it is removed.
When steam cleaning or using water to clean a machine, be sure the
reservoir breather filter is protected to keep water out of the system.
Use caps or plugs to cover ends of disconnected lines, or to plug openings
when working on a hydraulic system.
When removing parts for service, clean them with a suitable solvent and
store them in plastic bags or other clean containers until they are installed
again.
Thoroughly rinse the cleaned parts, and dry them using compressed air.
Protect the parts immediately with a coating of rust preventive oil.
A clean work bench is an absolute must when servicing hydraulic
components. An industrial-type vacuum cleaner is a valuable aid in
removing dust, dirt, and tiny metal particles from the work area.
5-4
Check the condition of the tools you use and make sure they are clean.
Use hammers made of plastic or leather so there is no danger of metal
chips getting into components.
Despite all the precautions you take when working with a hydraulic system,
some contaminants will get into the system anyway. High quality hydraulic
oils keep these contaminants in suspension and the filters will collect them
31200079
Checking Hydraulic Lines
Supply, Pressure, and Return Hydraulics
as the oil passes through. A high quality hydraulic oil contains many
additives which work to keep contaminants from damaging the system.
However, these additives lose their effectiveness after a period of time.
Therefore, change the oil at recommended intervals to make sure the
additives do their job.
The system filter can absorb only a limited amount of dirt particles and
other contaminants from the oil. Therefore, replace the filter element at the
recommended intervals so the cleaning process can be maintained.
Inspect hydraulic lines and fittings for gouges, nicks, kinks, leaks, and
collapsed or deteriorating hoses.
Note: Even small leaks can be detected by oil stains or build-up of dirt or other
foreign material in a suspect area.
Replace any tube lines that are pinched or dented.
Replace a hose if any of the following conditions exist:
• Any evidence of hydraulic oil leakage at the surface of the hose or its
junction with the metal end couplings.
• Any blistering or abnormal deformation to the outer covering of the
hose.
• Hydraulic oil leakage at any threaded or clamped joint that cannot be
eliminated by normal tightening.
• Evidence of excessive abrasion or scrubbing on the outer surface of
hose or hoses.
Important: When tightening loose lines or connections, use two wrenches to
avoid twisting hose or tubes. Tighten loose connections only until the
leak stops. An over-tightened fitting may result in overstressing and/or
cracking. Replace any connectors that continue to leak. See
“Hydraulic Fitting Torques” in Section 3 for torque specifications for
hydraulic fittings and hydraulic line connections.
