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.
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 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
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 degrees.
3. If a part resists removal, check to see whether all
nuts, bolts, cables, brackets, wiring, etc., have been
removed and that no adjacent parts are interfering.
2-2– JLG Lift –3121623
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.)
3121623– JLG Lift –2-3
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 speci-
SECTION 2 - GENERAL
fied 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
Refer to Section 1 for recommendations for viscosity
ranges.
Changing Hydraulic Oil
1. Filter elements must be changed after the first 50
hours of operation and every 300 hours (unless
specified otherwise) 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.
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.
2.4 CYLINDER DRIFT TEST
Maximum acceptable cylinder drift is to be measured
using the following methods.
Cylinder Drift

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.
MAX ACCEPTABLE DRIF
IN 1 MINUTES
3. While the unit is shut down, a good preventive main-
tenance 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.

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.
2.6 WELDING ON JLG EQUIPMENT
NOTE: This instruction applies to repairs, or modifications to the
machine and to welding performed from the machine on
an external structure, or component,
Do the Following When Welding on JLG
Equipment
• Disconnect the battery.
• Disconnect the moment pin connection (where fitted)
• Ground only to structure being welded.
Do NOT Do the Following When Welding on

• Ground on a specific boom section and weld on any
other area than that specific boom section.
• Allow pins, wear pads, wire ropes, bearings, gearing,
seals, valves, electrical wiring, or hoses to be between
the grounding position and the welded 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
bearing are a dry joint and should not be lubricated unless otherwise instructed (i.e. sheave
pins).
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 RUBBER TRACK MAINTENANCE
Checking track tension
Stop the machine on firm, level surface. Lift the machine into
safe conditions and place stable supports under the undercarriage frame for total support. Parallel with the central
roller of the under-carriage, measure distance (A) from the
bottom of the roller to the rigid inside of the rubber belt.
Track tension is normal if measurement (A) is between 10
and 15 mm.
If track tension is not within the measurements specified
above, loose or too taught, follow the procedures illustrated
in the paragraph below.
Figure 3-1.
4. When correct track tension has been obtained, turn
valve (1) in a clockwise direction and tighten it.
Clean all traces of grease.
Figure 3-2.
5. To tighten the track, connect a grease gun to
greaser (2) and add grease until belt tension is
within the specified values.
Operations for loosening/tightening the
track
The grease contained in the hydraulic track is pressurised.
For this reason, do not loosen the greasing valve (1) by
more than 1 turn; if the valve is loosened too much, it risks
being expelled under the effect of the pressure of the
grease, putting the safety of the operator at risk. Never
loosen greaser (2).
When gravel or mud are blocked between the toothed wheel
and the track links, remove it before loosening.
1. Remove the screws and take of adjustment access
lid 3.
2. To loosen the track, slowly unscrew valve 1 in an
anti-clockwise direction for no more than one turn.
One turn of valve 1 is sufficient to loosen the track.
3. If the grease does not start to drain, turn the track
slowly.
IT IS NOT NORMAL IF THE TRACK REMAINS
TAUGHT AFTER HAVING TURNED VALVE (1) IN AN
ANTI-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION OR IF THE TRACK IS
STILL LOOSE AFTER HAVING PUT GREASE INTO
GREASER (2). NEVER TRY TO REMOVE THE TRACKS
OR DISASSEMBLE THE TRACK-TENSIONED CYLINDER BECAUSE THE GREASE PRESSURE INSIDE THE
TRACK IS VERY DANGEROUS.

Checking The Rubber Tracks
Figure 3-3. Rubber Track Structure
The structure of the rubber track is illustrated in Figure 3-3.
The steel ropes and the metal core are imbedded into the
rubber. The carved profiles are used to give traction when
moving over loose land. They are situated in the lower part
resting on the ground, while the wheel guides situated inside
the track, prevent the track from escaping from the guide
rollers.
CAUSES OF DAMAGE
1. Breakage of the steel ropes
Excessive tension causes the steel ropes to break in
the following conditions:
a. when stones or foreign bodies accumulate
between the track and the under-carriage
frame;
b. when the track escapes from its guide;
c. in the case of strong friction such as rapid
direction changes.
2. Wear and breakage of the metal cores
As for breakage of the steel ropes, stated above,
excessive tension may cause the metal cores to
bend or break, as may the following causes:
a. incorrect contact between toothed wheel and
track;
b. breakage of internal rollers;
c. functioning on sandy land.
3. Separation of the metal cores
Figure 3-4.
a. The metal core acts as a type of adhesive of
the rubber between the core itself and the
steel ropes. Separation may be caused by
excessive tension as breakage of the ropes
for the following reasons:
b. The metal cores have been wound by the
worn toothed wheel as indicated in the figure.
When this wear and abrasion is detected, the
toothed wheel must be replaced as soon as
possible.
c. If it breaks, as stated in item 2, "Wear and
breakage of the metal cores", the track must
be replaced because this damage leads to a
complete loss of functions.
4. Abrasion and fatigue cracks
a. The cracks at the base of the carved profile
occur due to bending fatigue of the rubber
caused by the toothed wheel and the tracktensioning wheel.
b. The cracks and bends on the edge of the rub-
ber are due to manoeuvres with the track in
presence of cement kerbs and edges.
Figure 3-5.
c. The cracks and abrasions in the rubber on the
tracks of the roller guide originate from fatigue
from the compression of the rubber by the
weight of the wheel, together with functioning
on sandy land, or repeated and abrupt
changes of direction.
d. Abrasion of the carved profiles may occur
especially if slewing on concrete surfaces or
on gravel or hard surfaces are carried out.
e. The damage indicated in paragraphs a, b,
and c above, must not be considered fatal for
the track and, even if in presence of gradual

and progressive damage, they allow the track
to continue working. The development of the
damage indicated in point 3 leads to the
exposure of the metal cores and if they are
exposed for more than half of the track circumference, it means that it is time to replace
them. It can however still be used.
5. Cracks due to external factors
Cracks on external track surfaces (those in contact
with the ground) are often due to contact with
gravel, sharp stones, sharp materials, nails, glass,
which cause cuts. From the rubber properties point
of view, this is inevitable although it does depend on
service conditions. Cracks on the internal surface of
the circumference and on the edge of the rubber
originate from contact of the belt with the structure
of the undercarriage or with sharp concrete edges.
The increase in cracks is relatively small. Even if it
does not appear to be in good condition the track
can be used in heavy duty conditions.
Replacing The Rubber Tracks
THE GREASE CONTAINED IN THE HYDRAULIC
TRACK IS PRESSURISED. FOR THIS REASON, DO NOT
LOOSEN THE GREASING VALVE (1) BY MORE THAN 1
TURN; IF THE VALVE IS LOOSENED TOO MUCH, IT
RISKS BEING EXPELLED UNDER THE EFFECT OF
THE PRESSURE OF THE GREASE, PUTTING THE
SAFETY OF THE OPERATOR AT RISK. NEVER
LOOSEN GREASER (2).
4. If the grease does not start to drain, turn the track
slowly.
5. Insert three steel pipes (4) inside the track in the
space between the rollers. Turn the driving wheel
backwards (5) in a way that the steel pipes proceed
with the track and engage on the track-tensioning
wheel. Apply force (6) laterally to allow the track to
run and lift it from the track-tensioning wheel.
Figure 3-7.

Checking tightness of nuts and bolts
Depending on the use of the platform, it is indispensable to
check the parts and the nuts and bolts in general, which are
subject to loosening.
Pay particular attention to the frame components, such as
track-tensioning wheels, traversing geared motors, driving
wheels and guide rollers. Check that they are tightened sufficiently as indicated in the following table.
The values indicated are to be applied unless otherwise
stated in this manual.
