1.6SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Following are general safety statements to consider before
performing maintenance procedures on the telehandler.
Additional statements related to specific tasks and
procedures are located throughout this manual and are
listed prior to any work instructions to provide safety
information before the potential of a hazard occur s.
For all safety messages, carefully read, understand and
follow the instructions before
1.6.1Personal Hazards
PERSONAL SAFETY GEAR: Wear all the protective
clothing and personal safety gear necessary to perform
the job safely. This might include heavy gloves, safety
glasses or goggles, filter mask or respirator, safety shoes
or a hard hat.
LIFTING: NEVER lift a heavy object without the help of at
least one assistant or a suitable sling and hoist.
1.6.2Equipment Hazards
LIFTING OF EQUIPMENT: Before using any lifting
equipment (chains, slings, brackets, hooks, etc.), verify
that it is of the proper capacity, in good working order, and
is properly attached.
NEVER stand or otherwise become positioned under a
suspended load or under raised equipment. The load or
equipment could fall or tip.
DO NOT use a hoist, jack or jack stands only to support
equipment. Always support equipment with the proper
capacity blocks or stands properly rated for the load.
HAND TOOLS: Always use the proper tool for the job;
keep tools clean and in good working order, and use
special service tools only as recommended.
proceeding.
1.6.3General Hazards
SOLVENTS: Only use approved solvents that are known
to be safe for use.
HOUSEKEEPING: Keep the work area and operator’s
cab clean, and remove all hazards (debris, o il, 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 the mach ine is shut down
before pressure-washing. Should pressure-washing be
utilized to wash areas containing electrical/electronic
components, JLG recommends a maximum pressure of
750 psi (52 bar) at a minimum distance of 12 in. (30,5 cm)
away from these components. If electrical/electronic
components are sprayed, spraying must not be direct and
for brief time periods to avoid heavy saturation,
Check and obey all Federal, State and/or Local
regulations regarding waste storage, disposal and
recycling.

Safety Practices
1.6.4Operational Hazards
ENGINE: Stop the engine before performing any service
unless specifically instructed otherwise.
VENTILATION: Avoid prolonged engine operation in
enclosed areas without adequate ventilation.
SOFT SURFACES AND SLOPES: NEVER work on a
machine that is parked on a soft surface or slope. The
machine must be on a hard level surface, with the wheels
blocked before performing any service.
FLUID TEMPERATURE: NEVER work on a machine
when the engine, cooling or hydraulic systems are hot.
Hot components and fluids can cause severe burns.
Allow systems to cool before proceeding.
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 und er
pressure can explode. Hydraulic fluid and diesel fuel
leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin, cause
infection, gangrene and other serious person al injury.
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 en gine 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 accor da nce with
prevailing environmental regulations.
RADIATOR CAP: The cooling system is under pressure,
and escaping coolant can cause severe burns and eye
injury. To prevent personal injury, NEVER remove the
radiator cap while the cooling system is hot. Wear safety
glasses. Turn the radiator cap to the first stop and allo w
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, spar ks or smoking
materials.
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 goo d
condition. Use the correct equipment in the proper
manner, and make changes or repairs as indicate d 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 pr essure
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 connectin g a ba tte r y
charger.
1.7SAFETY DECALS
Check that all safety decals are present and readable on
the machine. Refer to the Operation & Safet y Manual
supplied with machine for information.
Before ordering parts or initiating service inquiries, make
note of the machine serial number. The machine serial
number plate (1) is located as ind i ca ted in the fi gu re .
Note: The replacement of any part on this machine with
any other than JLG authorized replacement parts can
adversely affect the performance, durability, or safety of
the machine, and will void the warranty. JLG disclaims
liability for any claims or damages, whether regarding

3.2BOOM SYSTEM
3.2.1Boom System Operation
The three section boom assembly consists of first,
second and third boom section assemblies . Boom
extension and retraction is accomplished via hydraulic
power and chain movement.
As the Extend/Retract hydraulic cylinder, which is
anchored at the rear of the second b oom section and the
rear of the first boom section, begins to extend, it for ces
the second boom section out of the first boom section.
The second and third boom sections are connected by
extend and retract chains. These chains ar e routed
around sheaves on the second boom section. As the
second boom section is forced out, the extend ch ain pulls
the third boom section out of the second boom section.
As hydraulic pressure is applied to the retract po rt on the
extend/retract cylinder, the second bo om section is pulled
back into the first boom section, and retract cha in pu lls
the third boom section back into the second section.
This mechanical linkage formed by the chains and
supporting hardware extends and retracts the second
and third boom sections at the same rate.
The first boom section does not extend or retract, but lifts
and lowers via action of the lift/lower cylinder.
3.3.1Third Boom Section Removal
1. Remove any attachment from the quick attach
assembly.
Note: If replacing the third section boom, remove the
quick attach from the third section. Refer to Section
3.6.1, “Quick Attach Removal.”
2. Park the machine on a hard, level surface, level the
machine, position the boom until it is extended
approximately 3 to 6 inches (76 to 152 mm), le vel the
boom, place the transmission control lever in
(N) NEUTRAL, engage the park brake and shut the
engine OFF.
3.3BOOM ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
These instructions must be completed in sequence. The
third boom section must be re moved before removing the
second boom section. The third and second boom
section must be removed at one time before removin g the
first boom section.
Before beginning, conduct a visual inspection of the
machine and work area, and review the t ask abou t to be
undertaken. Read, understand and follow these
instructions.
NEVER weld or drill the boom unless approved in
writing by the manufacturer. The structural integrity of
the boom will be impaired if subjected to any repair
involving welding or drilling.
WARNING
3. At the front of the second boom section, remove the
top and side (1) wear pads. Label all parts for

3.4BOOM EXTEND AND RETRACT
CHAINS
3.4.1Boom Chain Inspection
WARNING
Worn pins, stretched or cracked links or corrosive
environments can cause chain failure. A chain failure
could result in uncontrolled boom movement, loss of
load or machine instability.
Under normal operating conditions the boom extend
chains will need to be inspected every250hours of
operation. The retract chains need to be exposed and
inspected every 1000 hours of operation. Environmental
conditions and dynamic impulse/shock loads can
drastically affect normal operati ng conditions and requir e
more frequent inspection intervals.
Environments in which material handling machines
operate can vary widely from outdoor moisture to
temperature to mildly corrosive or highly corrosive
industrial atmospheres, in addition to ab rasive
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 attac k
on the chain components and/or the m echanical
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.

• Abrasives - Accelerated wearing and scoring of
the articulati ng mem b er s of th e ch ain (pin s and
plates), with a corresponding reduction in chain
strength. Due to the inaccessibility of the bearing
surfaces (pin surfaces and plate aper tures),
wear and scoring are not readily noticeable to
the naked eye.
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 machine.
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 fle x es back an d forth ov er the
sheave , the bearing joints (pins and inside link plates)
gradually incur wear due to articulation .
3.4.2Inspection Guidelines
1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface, raise the
boom to a horizontal (level) position, place the
transmission control lever in (N) NEUTRAL, engage
the park brake switch.
2. Fully extend the boom until the extend chain is taut.
Shut the engine off.
3. The extend chains will be visible for inspection with
the machine in this state.
4. While doing the chain inspection, check all chain
clevis ends f or distortion or crac king and she av e s f or
bearing wear or grooving from the chain.
5. Inspect the retract chains every1000 hours of
operation.
6. Inspect the chains for the following conditions:
Edge Wear
Check the chain fo r wear on the link plate edges
caused by running back and forth ov er 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 the chain in the section
that moves ov e r the shea v es because it rece ive s the
most frequent articulation. Measuring the chain near
its clevis terminals could give an inaccurate reading.
The ends of the chains, near the clevis terminal, will
not have flexed as frequently, if at all, as the middle
of the chains.
It is best to measure in 12 pin increments from pin
center to pin center . F or e xamp le, if the links ar e one
inch from pin center to pin center, the distance
should be 12 in (305 mm). If the links are 3/4 in
(9,5 mm) apart, the distance after 12 pins should be
9 in (229 mm).
944E-42
If the distance measured (3) is 3% greater than the
normal length (4), discard and replace the chain.

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.
Cracked Plates
Inspect the 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 crac ks (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 appearan ce. Corrosion fatigue is the
combined action of an aggressiv e
environment and cyclic stress.
Other Modes of Failure
Examine the pin head rivets to determine if the
“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 the chain by welding or
driving the pin(s) back into the ch ain. 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 t he 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.
• 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 eit her of these
failures occurs, the chain
should be replaced immediately.
•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 corrosio n and rust or
bent pins, replace the chain.

1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Place the
transmission control lever in (N) NEUTRAL, engage
the park brake switch and raise the boom to a
horizontal (level) position.
2. Fully extend the boom and shut the engine OFF.
The extend chains will be visible for inspection with the
machine in this state.
While doing the chain inspection, check all chain clevis
ends for distortion or cracking and sheaves for bearing
wear or grooving from the chain.
If during the inspection, an y chain is found to be damaged
or stretched, the chain must
recommended that when any chain is replaced, that all
the chains and clevises be replaced at the same time.
c. Retract Chains
The retract chains are only partially visible through th e
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. The retract chain must be removed
from the boom in order to be fully inspected. This must be
done every 1000 hours or whenever the retract chain is
removed from the boom. If there is ANY question t hat one
or all the retract chains are damaged, the boom should be
removed and disassembled with the retract chains being
inspected and replaced 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.
be replaced. It is
3.4.4Chain Lubrication
After inspection and before being returned to service,
chains must be lubricated with a quality chain lubricant
(“LUBRIPLATE” Chain & Cable Fluid, “LPS3” or
equivalent).
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 machines working consistently
in extreme hot or cold conditions requires special
consideration. It is important that a reputable lubrication
specialist or an authorized distributor be consulted for
guidance.
3.4.5Boom Chain Tension Check
1. Make sure the attachment is attached to the boom
head before doing the tension check.
2. Park the machine on level ground. Place the
transmission control lever in (N) NEUTRAL, engage
the parking brake switch and level the boom.

Axles, Drive Shafts, Wheels and Tires
5.2GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
DO NOT service the machine without following all
safety precautions as outlined in Section 1, “Safety
Practices,” of this manual.
Note: To help ensure optimum performance, the drive
shaft assemblies are specially balanced as a unit at the
factory. When servicing any flange yoke, slip yoke or
drive shaft tube, order a complete assembly if
components are bent or damaged. Refer to the
appropriate parts manual for ordering information.
Before performing any inspection, maintenance or
service operation, thoroughly clean the unit. The axles
and drive shafts should be checked and repaired only by
experienced service technicians who are aware of all
safety instructions and particular component features.
Use suitable products to thoroughly clean all
disassembled mechanical parts to help prevent personal
injury to the worker and prevent damage to the parts.
Carefully inspect the integrity of all moving parts
(bearings, yokes, tubes, gears, shafts, et c.) and fasteners
(nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) as they are subject to major
stress and wear. Always replace any damaged, worn,
cracked, seized or otherwise improper parts that could
affect the safe and proper functioning of th e mach ine ,
axles and drive shafts.
5.3AXLE ASSEMBLIES
5.3.1Axle Serial Number Plate
The front axle serial number plate is located on a
mounting pad on the inboard portion of the right beam
trumpet. The rear axle serial nu mber plate is located on a
mounting pad on the inboard portion of the left trumpet.
Information on the serial number plate is required in
correspondence regarding the axle.
Supply information from the axle serial number plate
when communicating about an axle assembly or axle
components.
5.3.2Axle Specifications
General axle specifications are found in Section 2.4,
“Fluid and Lubricant Capacities.”
5.3.3Axle Internal Service
Detailed axle service instructions (covering the axle,
differential, brakes and wheel-end sa fe ty, re pa ir ,
disassembly, reassembly, adjustment and
troubleshooting information) are provided in th e
appropriate ZF Axle Repair Manual.
surfaces (such as gears, bearings and shafts) with
emulsion cleaners or petroleum-based cleaners. DO
NOT steam clean internal components and th e interior of
the planetary hub and axle housing. Water can cause
corrosion of critical parts. Rust contamination in the
lubricant can cause gear and bearing failure. Remove old
gasket material from all surfaces.
DRYING: Use clean, lintless towels to dry components
after cleaning. DO NOT dry bearings by spinn ing them
with compressed air; this can damage mating surfaces
due to lack of lubrication. After drying, lightly coat
components with oil or a rust-preventive chemica l to help
protect them from corrosion. I f storing components for a
prolonged period, wrap them in wax paper.
PERIODIC OPERATION REQUIREMENT: Every two
weeks, drive the machine far enough to cause the drivetrain components to make several complete revolutions.
This will help ensure that internal components receive
lubrication to minimize deterioration caused by
environmental factors such as high humidity.
SUBMERSION: If the machine has been exposed to
water deep enough to cover the hubs, disassemble the
wheel ends and inspect for water damage and
contamination. If the carrier housing was submerged in
water, especially if the water level was above the vent
tube (breather), drain the axle and inspect internal parts
for water damage and contamination. Before assembling
and refilling the unit with the specified lubricant(s), clean,
examine and replace damaged parts as necessary.
Note: Use a suitable puller for bearing removal. Clean,
inspect and lubricate all bearings just prior to
reassembly . I f replacement of a damaged bearing cup or
cone is necessary, replace the cup and cone as a set.

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 the same
size, ply and brand as originally installed. Refer to the
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 t he application b y the ti re manuf acturer
(including inflation pressure and maximum ti re 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 mou nt ing a t ire
