Initial Start-up Procedures
Follow this procedure when starting-up a new motor or when
installing a motor that has been removed.
INSPECT MOTOR FOR DAMAGE BEFORE INSTALLATION. MAKE CERTAIN ALL
SYSTEM COMPONENTS (RESER VOIR, HOSES, VALVES, FITTINGS, HEAT
EXCHANGER, ETC.) ARE CLEAN BEFORE FILLING WITH FLUID.
1. Fill reservoir with recommended hydraulic fluid. Always
filter fluid through a 10 micron filter when pouring into
the reservoir. Never reuse hydraulic fluid.
2. Fill inlet line leading from pump to reservoir. Check inlet
line for properly tightened fittings and be certain it is
free of restrictions and air leaks.
3. Fill pump and motor housing with clean hydraulic fluid.
Pour filtered oil directly in upper most case drain port.
4. To ensure pump and motor stay filled with oil, install
case drain lines in upper most case drain ports.
5. Install a 0 to 500 psi (0 to 35 bar) gauge in charge pres-
sure gauge port of pump to monitor system pressure
during start up.
6. Watching pressure gauge and run engine at lowest pos-
sible speed until system pressure builds to normal levels
(minimum 160 psi [11 bar]). Once system pressure is
established, increase to full operating speed. If system
pressure is not maintained, shut down engine, deter-
mine cause, and take corrective action.
7. Operate hydraulic system for at least fifteen minutes
under light load conditions.
8. Check and adjust control settings as necessary after
installation.
9. Shut down engine and remove pressure gauge. Replace
plug at charge pressure gauge port.
3.12 PROCEDURE FOR SETTING SWING GEAR
BACKLASH
Set backlash 0.10 to 0.15" (0.254 to 0.381 mm) using the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Place the machine on firm, level ground.
2. Place the shim between the pinion and bearing on the
bearing high spot.
3. Apply JLG Thread locking compound P/N 0100019 to
the bolt and torque the pivot spacer screw to 340 ft.lb.
(47 kgm).
NOTE: Make sure the turntable is properly supported during the
following step. The turntable can swing a few degrees
when the turntable lock is removed if the turntable is not
balanced properly.
4. Remove the turntable lock pin.
