This section contains the general safety precautions
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
themselves 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 electrical,
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 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.
BHYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should be made
torelieve any system pressure prior to disconnecting
or removing any portion of the system.

2.2 SERVICE AND GUIDELINES
General
The following information is provided to assist you in the
use and application of servicing and maintenance procedures contained in this book.
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 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.

eign materials out of the vital components. Precautions have been taken to safeguard against this.
Shields, covers, seals, and filters are provided to
keep air, fuel, and oil supplies clean; however, these
items must be maintained on a scheduled basis in
order to function properly.
2. At any time when air, fuel, or 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.
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.

Components Removal and Installation
IT IS GOOD PRACTICE TO AVOID PRESSURE-WASHING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. IN THE EVENT PRESSURE-WASHING THE MACHINE IS NEEDED, ENSURE THE
MACHINE IS SHUT DOWN BEFORE PRESSURE-WASHING.
SHOULD PRESSURE WASHING BE UTILIZED TO WASH AREAS
CONTAINING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, JLG
INDUSTRIES, INC. RECOMMENDS A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF
750 PSI (52 BAR) AT A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 12 INCHES (30.5
CM) 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.
1. The most important single item in preserving the
long service life of a machine is to keep dirt and for-
2-2– JLG Lift–3121824
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 perpendicular as possible to top of part being
lifted.
2. 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°.
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.
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
Component Disassembly and Reassembly
When disassembling or reassembling a component, complete the procedural steps in sequence. Do not partially
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, 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
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 bearing.
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 install.
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 installed on a shaft, apply pressure to the
inner race.
Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring
Clearly mark or tag hydraulic lines and electrical wiring, as
well as their receptacles, when disconnecting 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 in 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 manual, at
the specified intervals. When recommended lubricants are
not available, consult your local supplier for an equivalent
that meets or exceeds the specifications listed.
Battery
Clean battery, using a non-metallic brush and a solution of
baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water. After
cleaning, thoroughly dry battery and coat terminals with
an anti corrosion compound.
Lubrication and Servicing
Components and assemblies requiring lubrication and
servicing are shown in the Lubrication Chart in Section 1.
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.
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. (See
Torque Chart Section 1.)
3121824– JLG Lift –2-3
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
2.3 LUBRICATION AND INFORMATION
Hydraulic System
1. 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 due to insufficient
system warm-up or leaks in the pump supply (suction) lines.
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 as necessary, at the specified intervals required in the Lubrication Chart in
Section 1. Always examine filters for evidence of
metal particles.
3. Cloudy oils indicate a high moisture content which
permits organic growth, resulting in oxidation or corrosion. If this condition occurs, the system must 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.
3. The only exception to the above is to drain and fill
the system with Mobil DTE 13 oil or its equivalent.
This will allow start up at temperatures down to -29°
C (-20° F). However, use of this oil will give poor performance at temperatures above 49° C (120° F). Systems using DTE 13 oil should not be operated at
temperatures above 94° C (200° F) under any condition.
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 exceeding 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 changing the hydraulic oil annually.
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 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 best choice, however,
multi-purpose greases usually have the qualities which
meet a variety of single purpose grease requirements.
Should any question arise, regarding the use of greases in
maintenance stock, consult your local supplier for evaluation. Refer to Section 1 for an explanation of the lubricant
key designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.
2. JLG recommends Mobilfluid 424 hydraulic oil, which
has an SAE viscosity of 10W-30 and a viscosity
index of 152.
NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system with oil temperatures
below -26° C (-15° F) is not recommended. If it is
necessary to start the system in a sub-zero environment, it will be necessary to heat the oil with a low
density, 100VAC heater to a minimum temperature of
-26° C (-15° F).

2.4 CYLINDER DRIFT TEST
Maximum acceptable cylinder drift is to be measured
using the following methods.
Platform Drift
Measure the drift of the platform to the ground. Lower
booms (if equipped) slightly elevated, upper boom fully
extended with the rated load in the platform and power off.
Maximum allowable drift is 2 in. (5 cm) in 10 minutes. If the
machine does not pass this test, proceed with the following.

Drift is to be measured at the cylinder rod with a calibrated
dial indicator. The cylinder oil must be at ambient temperature and temperature stabilized.
The cylinder must have the normal load, which is the normal platform load applied.
If the cylinder passes this test, it is acceptable.
NOTE: This information is based on 6 drops per minute cyl-
inder leakage.

2.5 PINS AND COMPOSITE BEARING REPAIR
GUIDELINES
Filament wound bearings.
1. Pinned joints should be disassembled and
inspected if the following occurs:
a. Excessive sloppiness in joints.
b. Noise originating from the joint during operation.
2. Filament wound bearings should be replaced if any
of the following is observed:
a. Frayed or separated fibers on the liner surface.
b. Cracked or damaged liner backing.
c. Bearings that have moved or spun in their hous-
ing.
d. Debris embedded in liner surface.
3. Pins should be replaced if any of the following is
observed (pin should be properly cleaned prior to
inspection):
a. Detectable wear in the bearing area.
b. Flaking, pealing, scoring, or scratches on the pin
surface.
c. Rusting of the pin in the bearing area.
4. Re-assembly of pinned joints using filament wound
bearings.
a. Housing should be blown out to remove all dirt
and debris...bearings and bearing housings
must be free of all contamination.
b. Bearing / pins should be cleaned with a solvent
to remove all grease and oil...filament wound
bearings are a dry joint and should not be lubricated.
c. Pins should be inspected to ensure it is free of
burrs, nicks, and scratches which would damage the bearing during installation and operation.

3.1 CALIBRATIONS
Elevation Sensor Calibration
(Prior to Software V13.6)
NOTE: Make sure your analyzer is in ACCES LEVEL 1.
When using the analyzer the terms referring to
ROTARY & PROXIMITY sensors are ELEV SENSOR & ELEV PROX.
Use ELEV SENSOR sub level menu for rotary switch
adjustments.
Use SET ELEV SENSOR top level menu for proximity switch adjustment and final calibrations.
NOTE: If the Always set the rotary switch first before the
proximity switch because they back each other up in
the case of a component failure.
1. When mounting, make sure the rotary switch is
aligned with the bladed pin mounted on the scissor
arm. There must be a preload when installing the
rotary switch on the bladed pin bracket, similar to a
throttle actuator.
2. There are (3) 3/8 mounting screws that hold the
switch onto the scissor arm mounting lug, make
sure they are snug, not loose, so you are able to
rotate the rotary switch.
3. Make sure the deck is fully lowered. Plug in the analyzer and scroll through DIAGNOSTICS/ELEV SENSOR to ANGLE SNSR. This should read 0.40v -
0.45v.
6. Lift the platform up until it stops lifting, this will be the
lift cut-out height.
7. Using the analyzer, press ESCAPE, scroll to DIAGNOSTICS, press ENTER, scroll to ELEV SENSOR
and press ENTER. YOu should now see ANGLE
SNSR. The setting here should be 0.60v - 0.70v. This
is the rotary switch output voltage that is being sent
to J2-15 of GEC at the lift cutout mark. A fully elevated platform will read 2.95 volts.
8. Press ESCAPE on the analyzer, scroll to SYSTEM
then to ELEV PROX OPEN. Now manually adjust the
proximity switch until you see the analyzer read
ELEV PROX CLOSED. At this point make sure you
have the maximum 5/16 in of clearance between the
eye of the proximity switch and the scissor arm. If
you don’t, shim it. If everything is okay at this point
tighten it down, this setting is required in case the
rotary switch fails. The proximity switch is a back up
to assure proper lift cut-out.
NOTE: If the gap ever increases beyond 5/16 in., the switch
may cause intermittent operation.
9. Completely lower the platform. Using the analyzer
press escape and scroll through DIAGNOSTICS and
then go to ELEV SENSOR, press ENTER. Check to
see that the following items are reading correctly.
ANGLE SNSR 0.40 - 0.45
ZEROED 0.00V
SENSOR OK
STOWED? YES
ELEVATED? NO
NOTE: Anytime the ground control board or if the rotary sen-
sor is replaced the rotary sensor must be reset
(zeroed out).
4. If the reading is not within the spec, adjust the rotary
switch by rotating the bracket and viewing the analyzer.
5. Loosen the hardware that holds the proximity switch
and allow the switch to drop to the bottom of the
slide bracket. Using the analyzer, press escape
twice and scroll through ACCESS LEVEL 2. enter
the password to get into ACCESS LEVEL 1. Scroll to
SET ELEV SENSOR and after pressing ENTER you
should hear the motion alarm sounding off. This
puts the machine in adjustment mode.
NOTE: If your machine does not have a motion alarm, the
following procedures will still apply.
DRIVE? YES
CALIB 0.40 - 0.45
10. If CALIB; reads whatever you set your rotary switch
to (0.40 - 0.45) then press ENTER.
11. Press ESCAPE until you arrive at DIAGNOSTICS,
then scroll over to top level menu SET ELV SENSOR, press ENTER, an alarm will sound off if your
machine is equipped with one. The analyzer will now
ask to SET ELEV SENSOR. At this point press
ENTER key. If everything tested properly the analyzer will read COMPLETE.
12. Now lift the machine up until it stops lifting, measure
the cutback height;
M3369/3369LE - 8 ft - 9.5 ft (2.4 - 2.9 m)
M4069/4069LE - 9.5 ft - 11.7 ft (2.9 - 3.6 m)

Using the Analyzer, in Access Level 1, go to MENU: CALIBRATION:
1. SET STOW ELEV;
a. Completely lower platform to stowed position.
b. Enter YES on the Analyzer.
c. COMPLETE will show on the analyzer when cali-
brated.
2. SET 25FT ELEV (3369LE) or SET 30FT ELEV
(4069LE);
a. Raise platform to a height of 25 feet for the
3369LE or 30 feet for the 4069LE (measured
deck to ground).
b. Enter YES on the Analyzer.
c. COMPLETE will show on the analyzer when cali-
brated.
3. SET 30FT ELEV (3369LE) or SET 36FT ELEV
(4069LE);
Tilt Sensor Calibration:
1. Drive the machine onto a measured level surface
(±0.5° for both x and y axis).
2. Using the Analyzer, go to MENU: CALIBRATION;
TILT SENSOR. Press Enter. LEVEL VEHICLE will display. Press Enter again to calibrate.
3. Both axis’ raw angles need to be within 5.0°, otherwise the machine is to unlevel and the software will
prohibit calibration. Should this occur, attempt to
dissect the three areas of error to find the primary
contributor:
a. Machine mounting and/or grade:
With a digital level, measure the top of the
Ground Control box for levelness. If unable to
get a good reading, check the box’s mounting
surface for levelness.
a. Raise platform to a height of 30 feet on the
3369LE or 36 feet for the 4069LE (measured
deck to ground).
b. Enter YES on the Analyzer.
c. COMPLETE will show on the analyzer when cali-
brated.
NOTE: Elevation Proximity Switch must be mounted and
functioning properly to calibrate the Elevation Sensor.
Speed Sensor
The speed sensor is located at the lower side of the left,
front drive motor. If removing the speed sensor for any
reason use the following procedure.
1. Using an 18mm wrench, remove the speed sensor
from the left, front drive motor.
2. If reusing the speed sensor note the location of the
brass feral on the sensor. Do not remove, this will be
the depth gauge when you replace the sensor.
3. When replacing, seat the sensor so that it fits snug in

1. Ground Control Box2. Tilt Sensor
b. Tilt sensor mounting on machine or wedged
crooked in control box:
If the machine mounting/grade appears acceptable, open the Ground Control box carefully.
Observe whether the tilt sensor is properly
seated.
1. On the Analyzer, go to Diagnostics/System and read
the tilt angle. If either angle reports +20.0°, there is
an electrical/electronic failure (tilt sensor, control
board, electrical connections).
a. Open the Ground Control.
b. Disconnect the sensor and clean any corrosion
off of the tilt sensor and control board connections.
c. Reassemble and test. If fault persists, replace tilt
sensor.
2. If the Analyzer displays angles other than +20.0°,
attempt to calibrate. If machine will not calibrate,
note the reason displayed on Analyzer:
a. SENSOR FAILURE – tilt sensor internal fre-
quency is out of range (replace sensor).
b. NOT LEVEL - tilt sensor has either developed an
offset or it is to unlevel as mounted on the
machine.
Joystick Calibration
(SW V13.5 & Higher and P1.0 & Higher)
Using the Analyzer, in Access Level 1, go to MENU: CALIBRATION: JOYSTICK and press ENTER.
c. Tilt sensor has developed an offset shift:
Remove the tilt sensor from the Ground Control
box, but keep both the tilt sensor and Ground
Control box electrically connected. Level one
axis of the tilt sensor and observe the raw reading (should be within ±2.0°). Do the same for the
other axis. If either axis is greater than ±2.0°,
replace the tilt sensor.
Some possible reasons that the tilt sensor will not calibrate are:
a. The surface the machine is sitting on is off level
by a few degrees (flat doesn’t imply level; parking lots are often not level).
b. The tilt sensor has failed one or both of the
channels (X axis and Y axis).
c. Tilt sensor has moisture intrusion that has
shifted its output.
d. Water and/or corrosion in the box has corrupted
electrical connections or caused a tilt sensor or
ground control board failure (observe any
cracks in the box).
e. The Ground Control Box, as mounted on the
machine, does not allow the tilt sensor to be
level.
For the following troubleshooting steps, a bubble level
(smaller is better) will be needed and the machine must
be on a level surface:
1. Following the analyzer screen prompts:
a. Move the Joystick FORWARD and press ENTER.
b. Allow Joystick to be in CENTER position and
press ENTER.
c. Move the Joytstick REVERSE and press ENTER.
2. CAL COMPLETE or CAL FAILED will display on the
analyzer.
3. Possible reasons if calibration failed:
a. The forward position must be a lower voltage
than reverse position.
b. The difference between center and forward &
center and reverse must be atleast 1V.

SECTION 3 - CHASSIS & SCISSOR ARMS
Battery Charger Troubleshooting
No Lights at all
No Lights at all indicate that AC power to the charger is
not connected or that the AC voltage is too low. It could
also indicate an internal failure in the charger.
1. Check the connections to AC power. Check for AC
voltage between 90 and 260 VAC at the charger.
2. If the AC voltage is verified to be correct at the connection to the charger, and the charger still displays
no lights at all, return the charger for service.
FAULT LED Flashing
The Fault LED flashes to indicate the microcontroller
inside the battery charger has detected a fault. The fault
detected is indicated by the number of flashes. Count the
number of flashes to determine the fault.
With any battery system, the most common problem will
be a faulty battery connection. Because of the high likelihood of a battery connection problem, it is always worthwhile to confirm that all connections are good before
checking for any other problems.
[1 Flash] - High Battery Voltage
1. Indicates a high battery voltage. Check that the battery charger voltage is consistent with the battery
pack voltage. The first two digits of the four digit
model name indicate the battery voltage the charger
supports.
2. Check for wiring errors.
4. If this problem does not clear after the battery voltage is confirmed to be higher than 1.0V per cell and
all connections are good, return the charger for service.
[3 Flashes] - Charge Timeout
Indicates the battery failed to charge within the allowed
time. This could occur if the battery is of larger capacity
than the algorithm is intended for. In unusual cases it
could mean charger output is reduced due to high ambient temperature. It can also occur if the battery is damaged, old, or in poor condition.
1. Check the battery for damage such as shorted cells
and insufficient water. Try the charger on a good battery.
2. If the same fault occurs on a good battery, check the
connections on the battery and connection to AC,
and the AC voltage itself.
3. Confirm that the nominal battery pack voltage is the
same as the battery charger voltage.
4. This fault must be cleared manually by unplugging
the AC, waiting 30 seconds and reconnecting the
AC power.
5. If a charger displays this fault on a battery pack, and
the pack is of questionable status, reset the charger
by disconnecting AC for 30 seconds, and then
reconnect the AC to start a new charge cycle. After a
few charge cycles, this problem could stop occurring as the pack "recovers."
3. This fault will automatically clear and the charger will
restart charging when this problem is removed.
4. High battery voltage could also occur if there is
another source charging the battery. Disconnect any
other sources during charging.
5. If this problem does not clear after the battery voltage is confirmed to be less than 2.4V per cell, return
the charger for service.
[2 Flashes] - Low Battery Voltage
1. Indicates either a battery failure, no battery connected, or a lower than expected battery voltage.
Check the battery and battery connections.
2. Check the nominal battery voltage. The first two digits of the four digit model name indicate the battery
voltage the charger supports. Confirm that a nominal battery voltage is the same as the charger voltage.
3. This fault will clear automatically when the low battery voltage problem is rectified.
[4 Flashes] - Check Battery
This fault indicates the battery pack could not be trickle
charged up to the minimum level required for the normal
charge cycle to be started.
1. Check that none of the battery pack connections
between modules are reversed or incorrectly connected.
2. Check that one or more cells in the battery are no
shorted.
3. Confirm that the nominal battery pack voltage is the
same as the battery charger voltage.
4. Try the charger on a good battery.
5. If this fault occurs, the battery is likely in poor condition. Try to recover the pack with a charger that can
charge the individual cells - such as an automotive
charger. Be sure to set this charger to the appropriate voltage - 6V per 6V battery, 12V per 12V string/
battery.
3121824– JLG Lift –3-9
SECTION 3 - CHASSIS & SCISSOR ARMS
[5 Flashes] - Over Temperature
This fault indicates the charger has become too hot during
operation. Though not damaging to the charger, charge
time will be extended significantly.
1. This fault indication will not clear automatically, but
the charger will restart charging automatically when
the temperature drops. The fault indication must be
cleared manually by unplugging the AC, waiting 30
seconds and reconnecting the AC power.
2. If possible, move the machine to a cooler location.
3. Confirm that dirt or mud is not blocking the cooling
fins of the charger. Clean the charger. Rinse the
charger with a low pressure hose if required. Do no
use high pressure. Do not us a pressure washer.
[6 Flashes] - Over Load/Over Temperature
This fault indicates that the batteries will not accept charge
current, or an internal fault has been detected in the
charger. This fault will nearly always be set within the first
30 seconds of operation. If it occurs after the charger has
started charging normally, be sure to make a note of it.
1. Remove excessive AC loads from inverter if
installed.
2. Try to clear the fault by unplugging the AC, waiting
30 seconds and reconnecting the ac power.
3. Check all battery connections. Look for a high resistance connection.The most likely reason for this fault
is a fault in the battery such as a bad battery connection, an open cell, or insufficient water.
4. This fault will occur if an internal fuse inside the
charger blows. If the green wire is shorted to ground
even momentarily, this fuse will blow. To check the
fuse, measure with an ohmmeter between the green
and red wires with the AC disconnected. If a short
circuit is not measured, the fuse has blown. Return
unit to a service depot to have this fuse replaced.
Excessive Battery Watering Requirements or
Strong Sulphur (Rotten Egg) Smell
These symptoms indicate over-charging or high battery
temperature. These symptoms are unlikely to be caused
by too high a charge current since the maximum charge
current of the charger will be small compared to even a
moderately sized battery pack. The most likely cause for
this problem is incorrect charge algorithm setting and/or
high ambient temperatures.
1. Confirm that the battery pack is not too small - usually > 50Ah.
2. Confirm that the nominal battery voltage matches
the charger output voltage.
3. Confirm the correct battery charge algorithm. If the
battery pack is new, the algorithm will need to be
changed if the pack is not the same as the old one.
for instructions on how to determine and change the
battery charge algorithm see the following sub-section.
4. If the output voltage of the charger seems excessive,
return the charger for service. Contact JLG to get the
expected battery voltage settings for the charger in
question. Be sure to have the charger’s serial number and charge algorithm setting available when
calling.
5. If this fault occurs after battery charging has started,
confirm that AC power was not interrupted and that
all battery connections are good.
6. If all battery connections are good, an internal fault
has been detected and the charger must be brought
to a qualified service depot.
3-10– JLG Lift –3121824
SECTION 3 - CHASSIS & SCISSOR ARMS
Checking/Changing the Battery Charge Algorithm
The charger is pre-loaded with programming algorithms
for the specific batteries detailed in Table 3-4, Battery
Algorithms. Contact JLG if your specific battery model is
not listed.
Each time AC power is applied with the battery pack not
connected, the charger enters an algorithm select/display
mode for approximately 11 seconds. During this time, the
current Algorithm # is indicated on the Yellow Charging
LED. A single digit Algorithm # is indicated by the number
of blinks separated by a pause. A two digit Algorithm # is
indicated by the number of blinks for the first digit followed
by a short pause, then the number of blinks for the second
digit followed by a longer pause.
To check / change the charging algorithm:
1. Disconnect the charger positive connector from the
battery pack. Apply AC power and after the LED test,
the Algorithm # will display for 11 seconds.
2. To change the algorithm, touch the connector to the
battery’s positive terminal for 3 seconds during the
11 second display period and then remove. The
Algorithm # will advance after 3 seconds. Repeat
this procedure until the desired Algorithm # is displayed. A 30 second timeout is extended for every
increment. Incrementing beyond the last Algorithm
will recycle back to the first Algorithm. When the
desired Algorithm is displayed, touch the charger
connector to the battery positive terminal until the
output relay makes a clicking noise (approx. 10 seconds). The algorithm is now in the permanent memory.
3. Remove the AC power from the charger and reconnect the charger’s positive connector to the battery.
NOTE: It is recommended to check a newly changed algo-
rithm by repeating the above steps 1 and 3.

3.4 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 for Call To Start, which is the electronic 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, DC output alternator. 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 45 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.
•Engine Starter
The engine is equipped with a 12 Volt DC starter. This
starter provides mechanical power to crank the engine.
Electrical power for the starter is provided by the start battery. The starter is energized by the start control relay.
• Start Control Relay
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 the right side of the engine. The start control
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 control relay is energized 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 the hold coil is
energized by the fuel control relay.
• Engine Oil Temperature Sensor
The engine oil temperature sensor is used to sense the
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 current sensor provides a signal proportional 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 controller 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 Low Oil Pressure Switch
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure switch. The
switch is closed when the oil pressure is below 1 Bar
(14.2 psi).

Timing Sequences
• RBS Pre start Sequence
1. Time Delay Engine Start (TDES)
TDES is the period which the RBS waits to verify that
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 pre
heater will be energized for the factory set preheat
delay period.
Table 3-5. RBS Pre start Sequence
CTS (Call to Start)
TDES (Engine Start)
Preheat Delay
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
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.
• RBS Shutdown Sequence
Once all CTS conditions have been removed, the RBS will
begin the shutdown sequence. If a CTS condition is 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 cool down period.
2. Time Delay Cool down (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.

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 right side of the
machine next to the ground control station and connect the remaining end of the cable to the analyzer.
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.

• Low Oil Pressure
Enabled once TDBP (time delay bypass) period has
elapsed after engine startup. If the low engine oil pressure
switch closes, the engine will stop immediately and a low
oil pressure alarm will be indicated.
• High Engine Temperature
If the engine oil temperature exceeds the high engine temperature setting, the engine will stop immediately and a
low oil pressure alarm will be indicated.
• Overspeed
If the engine speed exceeds the overspeed limit, the
engine will stop immediately and an overspeed alarm will
be indicated.
3121824– JLG Lift –3-17
SECTION 3 - CHASSIS & SCISSOR ARMS
• Underspeed
Enabled once TDBP (time delay bypass) period has
elapsed after engine startup. If the engine speed drops
below the underspeed limit, the engine will stop immediately and an engine underspeed alarm will be indicated.
• Overcrank
If the engine fails to start after a set number of start
attempts, the RBS will cease attempts 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.
• Engine Starting System Fault
Indicates a problem with either the engine start battery,
engine magneto, or magneto voltage regulator.
• Finish Charging Current
The finish charging current determines the level of the current alternator output must drop below for a low battery
voltage CTS to be removed. This ensures that the batteries have accepted sufficient charge prior to shutting down
the RBS. This level is used along with the low battery voltage remove CTS level to determine when the RBS
removes the CTS after a low battery voltage CTS. If the
charging current falls below the finish charging current
while another CTS is active, the RBS will continue to operate at the normal/extended output voltage until all CTS’s
are removed.
Priming the Fuel Line
The following procedure is for re-priming the fuel line on
the generator engine in the event fuel system components
have been replaced or the unit has been run dry of fuel..
1. Make sure the fuel line isn’t blocked or kinked.
2. Make sure fuel tank has fuel.
3. Disconnect the rubber fuel line at the fuel injector
pump.
• 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 RBS loss of voltage sense alarm will
be indicated. This feature protects the batteries and load
from high DC voltages due to a loss of output control.
• Run Inhibited
The RBS unit is disabled by the run inhibited input.
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 protects the
load from abnormally high voltages.
4. When fuel starts to flow out of the rubber line, reconnect the fuel line to the fuel injector pump.
5. Clean up any spilled fuel and try to start the generator again.
6. If the engine still doesn’t start, remove the steel line
from the fuel injectoe pump.
7. Once fuel starts to flow, reconnect the fuel line to the
fuel injector pump.
8. Clean up any spilled fuel and try to start the generator again.
3-18– JLG Lift –3121824
SECTION 3 - CHASSIS & SCISSOR ARMS
9. If no fuel flows there are some possibilities:
a. There is no fuel getting to the injector pump. No
fuel in tank, or obstruction in fuel line, or clogged
in line fuel filter.
b. The engine/camshaft rotation is not opening the
injection fuel pump. Using the recoil starter,
rotate the engine 1/3 of a turn and fuel should
spill from the fuel injector pump.
10. Engine might run rough for 20 seconds or so, but it
will clean out.
3.5 SUPPLEMENTARY FUSE FOR APU
The purpose of this section is to describe the procedure to
add a supplementary fuse for the Engine Generator Controller for the APU.
2. Find where the harness attaches to the rear cover of
the generator and the connection point for the new
inline fuse.
Procedure
BEFORE BEGINNING THIS PROCEDURE, ENSURE THAT ALL
SOURCES OF POWER ARE DISCONNECTED FROM THE APU!
This procedure is common for all applications of the APU.
The photos contained in this document illustrate the modification performed to an APU supplied in a JLG M450 lift.

3.8 DRIVE HUB
The final drive consists of two stages with an integrated
disconnect mechanism. Each stage incorporates a set of
matched planetary gears, which provide an equal load of
distribution. All torque transmitting components are made
of forged, quenched and tempered high-alloy steels.
External gears are carborized. Precision roller bearings
are used exclusively. Two large, tapered roller bearings
support the sprocket or wheel loads. A shaft seal protects
the unit against contamination.

Roll Test
The purpose of the roll test is to determine if the unit’s
gears are rotating freely and properly. You should be able
to rotate the gears in your unit by applying constant force
to the roll checker. If you feel more drag in the gears only
at certain points, then the gears are not rolling freely and
should be examined for improper installation or defects.
Some gear packages roll with more difficulty than others.
Do not be concerned if the gears in your unit seem to roll
hard as long as they roll with consistency.
Leak Test (Main Unit)
The purpose of a leak test is to make sure the unit is air
tight. You can tell if your unit has a leak if the pressure
gauge reading on your leak checking fitting starts to fall
after the unit has been pressurized and allowed to equalize. Leaks will most likely occur at the pipe plugs, the main
seal or wherever o-rings or gaskets are located. The exact
location of a leak can usually be detected by brushing a
soap and water solution around the main seal and where
the o-rings or gaskets meet on the exterior of the unit, then
checking for air bubbles. If a leak is detected in a seal, oring or gasket, the part must be replaced, and the unit
rechecked. Leak test at 10 psi (0.69 bar) for 20 minutes.
Tightening and Torquing Bolts
If an air impact wrench is used to tighten bolts, extreme
care should be taken to ensure the bolts are not tightened
beyond their specified torque.
5. Using the same sequence, crisscross around the
bolt circle and apply an equal torque to the remaining bolts.
Figure 3-18. Bolt Torquing Sequence
The following steps describe how to tighten and torque
bolts or socket head cap screws in a bolt circle.
1. Tighten (but do not torque) bolt "A" until snug.
2. Go to the opposite side of the bolt circle and tighten
bolt "B" until equally snug.

4.1 SERVICING 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 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.
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 scheduled basis in order to function properly.
2. At any time when hydraulic 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.
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 perpendicular as possible to top of part being
lifted.
2. 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°.
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 reassembling a component, complete the procedural steps in sequence. Do not partially
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, 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
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 bearing.
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 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 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.
3121824– JLG Lift –4-1
SECTION 4 - HYDRAULICS
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.
Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring
Clearly mark or tag hydraulic lines and electrical wiring, as
well as their receptacles, when disconnecting 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 in 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 manual, at
the specified interval. When recommended lubricants are
not available, consult your local supplier for an equivalent
that meets or exceeds the specifications listed.
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 growth, resulting in oxidation or corrosion. If this condition occurs, the system must 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 DTE 11Hydraulic Oil, which has
an SAE viscosity of 10W and a viscosity index of
140.
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 Section 1.
4.2 LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Hydraulic System
1. The primary enemy of a hydraulic system is contamination. Contaminants enter the system by various
means, e.g.; inadequate hydraulic oil, allowing moisture, grease, filings, sealing components, 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
NOTE: Start-up of hydraulic system, not using DTE 11, with
oil temperatures below -26°C (-15°F) is not recommended. If it is necessary to start the system in a
sub-zero environment, it will be necessary to heat
the oil with a low density, 100VAC heater to a minimum temperature of -26°C (-15°F).
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 250
hours thereafter. If it is necessary to change the oil,
use only those oils meeting or exceeding 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 changing the hydraulic oil annually.
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 replace the
filter cartridge any time the system oil is changed.
4-2– JLG Lift –3121824
SECTION 4 - HYDRAULICS
3. 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 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, consult your local supplier for evaluation.
Refer to Section 1 for an explanation of the lubricant key
designations appearing in the Lubrication Chart.
4.3 CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION
1. Cylinders are of the double acting type. The Lift and
Steer systems incorporate double acting cylinders.
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.
2. Holding valves are used in the lift circuits to prevent
retraction of the cylinder rod should a hydraulic line
rupture or leak develop between the cylinder and its
related control valve.
4.4 VALVES - THEORY OF OPERATION
Control Valves
The main control valve consists of cartridge type valves in
an aluminum manifold. The cartridge valves provide for
control of flow, volume of flow and pressure in the hydraulic system.
The flow to the lift cylinder(s) is provided by a solenoid
operated 3 way spool valve.When flow is required to lift
the load the solenoid is energized in one direction. When
the solenoid is not energized the cylinder is held in place
by the holding valve mounted on the cylinder.
A solenoid operated three way spool valve controls flow to
the brakes to release the brakes.When energized it allows
flow to the brake parts until the brake pressure switch is
satisfied.
Pressure relief valves limit the pressure in the steer circuit
and the rod end of each lift cylinder. When the pressure in
one of those circuits reaches the set point of the valve, the
valve opens, allowing enough flow to return to the reservoir so that the set pressure is not exceeded. An adjusting
screw on each cartridge relief valve allows the set pressure to be adjusted.
The aluminum manifold provides the passages through
which the hydraulic oil is diverted to provide the desired
movement of the actuators. No moving parts of the valves
slide against the manifold and so it is not subject to wear.
4.5 COMPONENT FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic Pump
The single stage gear pump is attached to the electric
motor located in the left side tray of the machine.
Manual Descent
The manual descent cable handle is located at the rear of
the machine frame.
4.6 WEAR PADS
The original thickness of the sliding wear pads is 12.7 cm
(5 in). Replace sliding pads when worn to 11.9 cm (4.7 in).
4.7 MOTOR CONTROLLER - MODES OF
OPERATION
Traction Motor (Drive)
Drive in either forward or reverse will start only if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. Function switches off.
2. No procedure or diagnostic faults present.
3. Depress drive select. Lights indicating drive at the
platform control will flash. The controller must be
moved within 3 seconds after the drive select illuminates.
4. FWD or REV selected as appropriate.
The directional control valve for steer is a solenoid operated, three position, 4-way sliding spool type valve. Energizing one of the electrical coils on a valve will divert the
supply of hydraulic oil to provide motion of that function in
one direction. Energizing the other coil will divert the oil for
motion in the other direction. When neither coil is energized, the supply of hydraulic oil is blocked.
Once in “drive” mode, activating a function switch shall
not cause drive mode to be exited, the pump/traction contactor drive shall not be energized it will be left at the traction position. If a function switch is selected during
traction, a procedure fault will occur when neutral is
selected, remaining until a function switch and both directions are no longer selected.
3121824– JLG Lift –4-3
SECTION 4 - HYDRAULICS
When the controller is returned to neutral, the controller
will control smooth stopping of the machine, using plug
braking, before the brake is allowed to operate.
NOTE: Depressing the lift function switch while driving will
not interrupt drive function.
Pump Motor (LIft)
Pump motor drive will start only if the following conditions
are satisfied:
1. Accelerator in neutral position.
2. Traction mode off (brake applied).
3. Depress lift select. the lights indicating lift select at
the platform control will flash. The accelerator must
be moved within 3 seconds after the lift light illuminates.
NOTE: Depressing the drive function switch while lifting will
not interrupt lift function.
NOTE: Any time brushes are being replaced in a drive motor
or pump motor, all brushes in the motor should be
replaced.
4.8 FEATURES
4.9 CYLINDER CHECKING PROCEDURES
NOTE: Cylinder checks must be performed any time a cylin-
der component is replaced or when improper system
operation is suspected.
