INTRODUCTION

SECTION A. INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY


PRECAUTIONS
A

feed lines to system components can then be disconnected


with minimal fluid loss.

GENERAL
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 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.

SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IN THIS AREA RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY


It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems
operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pressures.
Every effort should be made to relieve any system pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any portion of the
system.

MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN


THIS SECTION MAY RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSONNEL
INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
NO SMOKING IS MANDATORY. NEVER REFUEL DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS. ENSURE THAT FUEL
CAP IS CLOSED AND SECURE AT ALL OTHER
TIMES.
REMOVE ALL RINGS, WATCHES AND JEWELRY
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
DO NOT WEAR LONG HAIR UNRESTRAINED, OR
LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING AND NECKTIES WHICH
ARE APT TO BECOME CAUGHT ON OR ENTANGLED
IN EQUIPMENT.
OBSERVE AND OBEY ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MACHINE AND IN SERVICEMANUAL.
KEEP OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC. WIPED FROM
STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS.
USE CAUTION WHEN CHECKING A HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT SYSTEM.
NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED BOOM UNTIL
BOOM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED FROM ANY
MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD SLING,
OR BOOM SAFETY PROP HAS BEEN ENGAGED.
BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR
PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE, SHUT
OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS.
BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTEDDURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACHMENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.
USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING
SOLVENTS.

Relieve system pressure by cycling the applicable control


several times with the engine stopped and ignition on, to
direct any line pressure back into the reservoir. Pressure

and fittings themselves. As soon as a line or component is disconnected, cap or cover all openings to
prevent entry of foreign matter.

GENERAL.

This section provides information necessary to perform


maintenance on the aerial platform. Descriptions, techniques and specific procedures are designed to provide
the safest and most efficient maintenance for use by personnel responsible for ensuring the correct installation
and operation of machine components and systems.

WHEN AN ABNORMAL CONDITION IS NOTED AND PROCEDURES


CONTAINED HEREIN DO NOT SPECIFICALLY RELATE TO THE
NOTED IRREGULARITY, WORK SHOULD BE STOPPED AND
TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED GUIDANCE OBTAINED BEFORE WORK
IS RESUMED.

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.

The maintenance procedures included consist of servicing and component removal and installation, disassembly,
and assembly, inspection, lubrication and cleaning. Information on any special tools or test equipment is also provided where applicable.

2.2

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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE


GUIDELINES.

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.

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.

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.

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

3120743

JLG Lift

2-1

SECTION 2 - PROCEDURES

Bearings.

Hydraulic Lines and Electrical Wiring.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Batteries.
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.

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 Lubrication Chart.

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 Figure 1-1).

degrees F. However, use of this oil will give poor performance at temperatures above 120 degrees F.
Systems using DTE11 oil should not be operated at
temperatures above 200 degrees F. under any condition.

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.

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 every two years.

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 at the specified intervals
required in Figure 1-2. Always examine filters for evidence of metal particles.

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. 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 Table 1-1 for recommendations for viscosity
ranges.

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 Table 1-2 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 -15 degrees 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
-15 degrees F.
3. The only exception to the above is to drain and fill
the system with Mobil DTE11 oil or its equivalent.
This will allow start up at temperatures down to -20

CYLINDERS - THEORY OF OPERATION.

Systems Incorporating Double Acting


Cylinders.

Steer.
35/n35 electric - Upper Boom Lift, Lower Boom Lift,
Telescope, Slave, Master, Rotator, and Steer.
40/n40/45 electric - Upper Boom Lift, Mid Boom Lift,
Lower Boom Lift, Telescope, Slave, Master, Rotator,
and Steer.
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.
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.

VALVES - THEORY OF OPERATION.

Control Valves.
30 electric - Control Valve 4640725 this valve controls
Swing, Lower Lift, and Upper Lift.
35/n35 electric - Control Valve 4640843 this valve controls Platform, Telescope, Swing, Lower Lift, and Upper
Lift.
40/n40/45 electric - Control Valve 4640797 this valve
controls Platform, Telescope, Swing, Lower Lift, and
Upper Lift.
It consists of cartridge type valves in an anodized aluminum manifold. The cartridge valves provide for control of
flow, volume of flow and pressure in the hydraulic system.

screw on each cartridge flow control valve allows the rate


of flow (speed) to be adjusted. When oil is flowing into the
cap end of the lift cylinders, an internal check valve feature
allows unrestricted flow.
Pressure relief valves limit the pressure in the swing 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.

Steer Valve 4640726.


(30/35/n35/40/n40/45 electric)
This valve controls the STEER function. It consists of
screw-in cartridge type valves in an anodized aluminum
manifold. The cartridge valves provide for control of direction of flow and pressure in the STEER hydraulic circuit.
The directional control valve is a solenoid operated, three
position, 4-way sliding spool type valve. Energizing one of
the electrical coils on the valve will divert the supply of
hydraulic oil to provide steering in one direction. Energizing the other coil will divert the oil for steering in the other
direction. When neither coil is energized, the supply of
hydraulic oil is blocked.
A pressure relief valve limits the pressure in the steer circuit. When the pressure reaches the set point of the valve,
the valve opens, allowing enough flow to return to the reservoir so that pressure is not exceeded. An adjusting
screw on the cartridge relief valve allows the set pressure
to be adjusted.
The aluminum manifold provides the passages through
which hydraulic oil is diverted to provide the desired
movement of the steer cylinder. No moving parts of the
valves slide against the manifold and so it is not subject to
any wear.

The directional control valves are solenoid operated, three


position, 4-way sliding spool type valves. One valve is provided for each of the three functions. 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.
Flow control valves in the lift circuits provide for control of
the rate of flow when the oil is flowing out of the cap ends
of the cylinders (the load is being lowered). An adjusting

MOTOR CONTROLLER.

1. Features in Traction Mode.

Modes of Operation.

a. Maximum Speed Control.


1. Traction Motor Drive.
a. 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. FWD or REV selected as appropriate.
b. 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 (shall 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.

The controller incorporates a function to limit the maximum speed of the machine to a percentage of maximum
possible speed. The function operates in such a manner
as to control vehicle speed by limiting the percentage on
of the switching device to keep the machine speed below
the maximum permitted value or, if required, to apply variable plug braking to restrict machine speed when traveling down a grade. The speed is controlled based on the
percentage of accelerator input.

c. When neutral is selected, the controller will control smooth stopping of the machine, using plug
braking, before the electric brake is allowed to
operate.
d. If a function switch is activated in neutral, when
the vehicle has stopped and the brake is
applied, then pump mode will become operational.

1. Features in Pump Mode.


a. Proportional Control of Pump Motor Speed.
The pump motor speed shall be controlled by
varying the percentage on of the switching element in relation to a separate pump accelerator
input.
b. Soft Start.
The pump motor speed control incorporates a
soft start facility by applying acceleration delay
to changes in the applied percentage on of the
switching element.

1. Pump Motor Drive.


a. Pump motor drive will start only if the following
conditions are satisfied:
1. FWD and REV switch off.
2. Traction mode off (brake applied).
a. Pump drive shall only be enabled when the
direction selector inputs are in neutral and the
machine is stationary. Once pump drive mode
has been entered, then the status of the direction selector inputs shall no longer interlock
pump operation. If a direction switch is selected
during pump drive, a procedure fault will occur
when the function switch is no longer selected,
remaining until both directions and the function
switch are no longer selected.

Use the following procedures ONLY for emergency movement to a suitable maintenance area. (See Figure 2-38.)

Adjust switch so that functions will operate when pedal is


at center of travel. If switch operates within last 1/4 inch
(6.35 mm) of travel, top or bottom, it should be adjusted.

1. Chock all wheels securely.


2. Engage the mechanical release on both brakes by
loosening, completely reversing (towards drive
motor) and tightening the three nuts on each brake.
3. Connect suitable equipment, remove chocks, and
move machine.
4. After moving machine, position on a firm, level surface.
5. Chock wheels securely.
6. Disengage the mechanical release on both drive
brakes by loosening, completely reversing (towards
torque hub) and tightening the three nuts on each
brake.
7. Remove chocks from wheels as desired.

2.23 P/Q CONTROLLER.


The PQ Controller converts manual input into proportional
electrical output signals for commanding proportional flow
control valves. The PQ Controller is a sealed unit and can
withstand hostile and rugged outdoor weather conditions.
The control handle enters the housing through a sealed
bearing, reducing the possibility of water entering the
housing.
The PQ Controller incorporates a mechanical safety lock
whereby the operator must make an additional motion to
unlock the control handle prior to operation. This feature
eliminates the possibility of the control being accidently
energized while in the neutral position. The controller also
incorporates a neutral-position-off switch. When the control handle is in its neutral position, a switch contact
opens, thus removing power from the electrical circuitry of
the controller. The control handle is spring loaded, and will
automatically return to the neutral-off position should the
operator accidently lose grip of the handle. this feature
gives the operator positive control of the machine at all
times, requiring the operator to hold the control handle
during the duration of the desired function.

Switch adjustment

SECTION 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING

SECTION 3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1

GENERAL.

This section contains troubleshooting information to be


used for locating and correcting most of the operating
problems which may develop in the aerial platform. If a
problem should develop which is not presented in this
section or which is not corrected by listed corrective
actions, technically qualified guidance should be obtained
before proceeding with any maintenance.

3.2

TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION.

The troubleshooting procedures applicable to the aerial


platform are listed and defined in Tables 3-1 through 3-6.
As an aid to table use, the aerial platform is divided into six
major groups, each covered separately within this section.
These groups are as follows: platform assembly, boom
assembly, turntable assembly, chassis assembly, hydraulic system and electrical system.
Each malfunction within and individual group or system is
followed by a listing of probable causes which will enable
determination of the applicable remedial action. The probable causes and the remedial action should, where possible, be checked in order listed in the tables.
It should be noted that there is no substitute for a thorough knowledge of the equipment and related systems.

3120743

It should be recognized that the majority of the problems


arising in the machine will be centered in the hydraulic
and electrical systems. For this reason, every effort has
been made to ensure that all likely problems in these
areas are given the fullest possible treatment. In the
remaining machine groups only those problems which are
symptomatic of greater problems of which have more
than one probable cause and remedy are included. This
means that problems for which the probable cause and
remedy may be immediately obvious are not listed in this
section.
The first rule for troubleshooting any circuit that is hydraulically operated and electrically controlled is to determine
if the circuit is lacking hydraulic oil or electrical control
power. This can be ascertained by overriding the bypass
valve (mechanically or electrically) so that oil is available
to the function valve, then overriding the function valve
mechanically. If the function performs satisfactorily, the
problem exists with the control circuit.

3.3

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT CHECKS.

The first reference for improper function of a hydraulic system, where the cause is not immediately apparent, should
be the Troubleshooting Chart. The best place to begin the
problem analysis is at the power source (pump). Once it is
determined that the pump is serviceable, then a systematic check of the circuit components, beginning with the
control would follow. For aid in troubleshooting, refer to
the Illustrated Parts Manual for hydraulic diagrams of the
various circuits.
