SIDE SHIMMING OF BOOM SECTIONS 800D

Published 5-27-2018 Control # 039-06
Adding Oil
1. With saddle fully lowered and piston depressed, set jack 
in its upright level position and remove oil filler plug.
2. Fill until oil is level with filler plug hole.
Changing Oil
1. For best performance and longest life, replace the 
complete oil supply at least once a year.
2. To drain the oil, remove the filler plug.
3. Lay the jack on its side and allow the oil to run out into 
suitable drain pin. The oil will run slowly because air 
must enter as oil drains out.
4. Be careful to prevent dirt or foreign matter from entering 
the system.
5. Replace with proper oil as described above.
Lubrication
Add proper lubrication oil to all pivoting sections every three 
months.
Rust Prevention
Check ram every three months for any sign of rust or 
corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil saturated 
cloth.
Note: When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram 
all the way down.
TROUBLESHOOTING
(OPTIONAL) OIL COOLER SERVICE & 
MAINTENANCE
The heat exchanger must be kept clean to allow for efficient 
operation of the cooler system. Frequent washing of the heat 
exchanger core will eliminate oil film, road dirt and other 
foreign object buildup on the heat exchanger fins which 
reduces cooling efficiency.
Frequent inspection and tightening of hose clamp line 
connections will eliminate the possibility of end connection 
failure due to back pressure from cold startup. If cooler 
system fails to provide adequate performance, reduced air or 
oil flow through the heat exchanger is the probable cause. 
The cooling fan should be inspected for proper operation 
(see Specifications). Any obstructions in airflow should be 
corrected (cooler too close to other truck components, 
foreign matter in heat exchanger fins, etc.) All hydraulic lines 
should be periodically checked for obstructions, hose kinks 
or other flow restrictions.
Symptom Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
Will not lift load 1. No oil in system
2. Release valve not closed
1. Add oil to reservoir tank through oil filler 
hole
2. Turn handle clockwise tightly
Will lift load only part way Oil level low Add oil to reservoir tank through oil filler hole
Will lift load but will not hold 1. The following valve or valves leaking:
a. Suction valve
b. Delivery valve
c. Release valve
4. Packings worn out or defective
1. Replace jack
2. Replace jack
Jack will not lower Release valve stuck, probably dirt or 
foreign matter
Transfer load then replace dirty oil, flush oil 
reservoir with kerosene
Poor lifting 1. Dirty oil
2. Air in hydraulic system
1. Change hydraulic oil
2. Purge air from system
Poor pumping action Oil seal for pump unit worn out or 
defective
Replace jack
