Why is my JLG Lull 1044C-54 II Boom Lifts pump so noisy?
- DDavid ChapmanAug 4, 2025
Excessive pump noise in JLG Boom Lifts can stem from several causes. It could be due to a low oil level in the hydraulic reservoir, in which case you should fill the reservoir to the proper level with the recommended hydraulic fluid, being careful not to overfill. Another cause might be air in the system; operate the hydraulic system until it's purged and check inlet lines and fittings for leaks. A vacuum condition could also be the culprit, so inspect inlet lines and the reservoir breather filter for restrictions. If the oil is too thick, ensure the correct type is used, with the proper viscosity for ambient temperatures. Lastly, cold weather can cause noise; run the hydraulic system until the unit warms up, and check the oil viscosity.
