1.1 INTRODUCTION
This service manual provides general directions for
accomplishing service and repair procedures. Following the
procedures in this manual will help assure safety and
equipment reliability.
Read, understand and follow the information in this manual,
and obey all locally approved safety practices, procedures,
rules, codes, regulations and laws.
These instructions cannot cover all details or variations in the
equipment, procedures, or processes described, nor provide
directions for meeting every possible contingency during
operation, maintenance, or testing. When additional
information is desired consult the local JLG dealer.
Many factors contribute to unsafe conditions: carelessness,
fatigue, overload, inattentiveness, unfamiliarity, even drugs
and alcohol, among others. For optimal safety, encourage
everyone to think, and to act, safely.
Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures
are essential for the safety of the individual doing the work,
for the safety of the operator, and for the safe, reliable
operation of the machine.
All references to the right side, left
side, front and rear are given from the operator seat looking in
a forward direction.
Supplementary information is available from the
manufacturer in the form of Service Bulletins, Service
Campaigns, Service Training Schools, the service website,
other literature, and through updates to the manual itself.
1.2 DISCLAIMER
All information in this manual is based on the latest product
information available at the time of publication. The
manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and
improvements to its products, and to discontinue the
manufacture of any product, at its discretion at any time
without public notice or obligation.
1.3 OPERATION & SAFETY MANUAL
The mechanic must not operate the machine until the
Operation & Safety Manual has been read and understood,
training has been accomplished and operation of the
machine has been completed under the supervision of an
experienced and qualified operator.
An Operation & Safety Manual is supplied with each machine
and must be kept in the manual holder located in the cab. In
the event that the Operation & Safety Manual is missing,
consult the local JLG dealer before proceeding.
1.4 DO NOT OPERATE TAGS
Place Do Not Operate Tags on the ignition key switch and the
steering wheel before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance. Remove key and disconnect battery leads.
1.5 SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid possible death or injury, carefully read, understand
and comply with all safety messages.
In the event of an accident, know where to obtain medical
assistance and how to use a first aid kit and fire extinguisher/
fire suppression system. Keep emergency telephone
numbers (fire department, ambulance, rescue squad/
paramedics, police department, etc.) nearby. If working
alone, check with another person routinely to help assure
personal safety.
