Jib Jack Service and Maintenance
Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil,
transmission oil, or turbine oil. Avoid mixing types of oil. Do
not use brake fluid, alcohol, glycerin, detergent motor oil, or
dirty oil. Improper fluid can cause serious internal damage to
the jack rendering it inoperative.
Adding Oil to the Jib Jack
To add oil to the jib jack, do the following:
1. Set the jack in an upright level position.
2. Lower the saddle and make sure the piston is fully
depressed.
3. Remove the oil filler plug.
4. Fill until the oil is level with the filler plug hole.
Changing the Jib Jack Oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the oil at least
once a year. To change oil, do the following:
1. Remove the filler plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the oil into a drain pan.
The oil will run slowly because air must enter as oil
drains out.
3. Be careful to prevent dirt or foreign matter from entering
the system.
4. Replace with proper oil as described above.
Lubrication
Add proper lubrication oil to all pivoting sections every three
months.
Rust Prevention
Check the ram every three months for any sign of rust or
corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with oil saturated cloth.
NOTE: When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram
all the way down.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Oil Cooler (Optional)
The heat exchanger must be kept clean for efficient
operation of the hydraulic cooler system. Wash the heat
exchanger core frequently to eliminate oil film, road dirt, and
other foreign object buildup on the heat exchanger fins.
Frequent inspection and tightening of hose clamp eliminates
the possibility of end connection failure due to back pressure
from a cold startup.
If the cooler system fails to provide adequate performance,
reduced air or oil flow through the heat exchanger is the
probable cause. Inspect the cooling fan for proper operation.
Any obstructions to air flow should be corrected (cooler too
close to other truck components, foreign matter in heat
exchanger fins, etc.) Check all hydraulic lines periodically for
obstructions, hose kinks or other flow restrictions.
Hydraulic System Trouble Diagnosis
The following chart lists malfunctions which may occur
during equipment operation with possible cause and
solution. These are not all inclusive but are designed to help
isolate the problem and should be checked before calling the
factory Service Department.
Condition Possible Cause Possible Solution
No response to control
RCL system inoperative.
Insure the RCL system is working properly and
the anti-two-block solenoid is powered.
Load too heavy. Check load chart.
PTO not engaged. Engage PTO.
Low hydraulic fluid supply. Check and fill as required.
Suction line blocked. Drain tank and hose and remove blockage.
Broken hydraulic pressure line. Replace as required.
Defective hydraulic pump. See Pump Service Manual.
Incorrect relief valve setting. Adjust relief (See “Specifications” on page 6-11).
