GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Bil-Jax 5031A Hydraulic Boom Lift (Figure 2-1) is designed to position personnel
with their to
capacity is 475 lbs. During all boom operations, the unit is supported by four extended
outriggers.
The hydraulic power unit includes a reservoir, pump, and control valves. Three hydraulic
cylinders elevate the lower boom, upper boom, and jib boom. A fourth cylinder extends
telescopic boom. A master and slave cylinder maintain the work platform at level while
raising or lowering the boom. A plat

The battery powered boom lift uses a 24 Volt, one horsepower, DC motor to drive the
hydraulic pump. The DC motor is powered by four 6 Volt DC, 275 Amp-hour, deep
charge batteries connected in series. A 40 Amp, automatic, on-board battery charger is
provided for recharging the batteries at the end of each work period.
The boom lift is equipped with platform and ground station controls (Figure 2-2). The
controls include motion enable pushbuttons and proportional hydraulic valves for
controlling the direction and speed of boom lift, extension, and rotation. Boom elevation,
extension, and rotation controls operate only when the outriggers are correctly extended
and the moving boom sections are within a programmed safe operating zone.

2 — INTRODUCTION
2-3
Figure 2-3. Safe Operating Zone
Two boom motion functions are permitted at a time, and only when the boom is within
the safe operating zone (Figure 2-3). When a selected boom motion reaches a safe
operating limit, the boom motion ceases and another boom motion must be selected
within the safe operating zone.
Outrigger load sensing interlocks and interlock safety switches prevent all boom lifting
operations until the four outriggers are properly extended, the trailer is level, and the full
weight of the boom lift is loaded onto the outriggers. An interlock prevents the retracting
of any outrigger while the upper or lower boom is raised two inches (50 mm) or more.
Boom elevation speeds are adjustable from zero to 5.3 inches per second (0 to 27 ft/min).
A hydraulic hose failure at either retract-cylinder port will cause a counterbalance valve
to stop the return oil flow. It is strongly recommended that no one adjust or tamper with
these safety devices. If service is required, please notify Bil-Jax for instructions.
Emergency lowering of the platform is by manual valves on the upper and lower boom
lift cylinders or by manual operation of a hand pump at the lower control station. Firmly
pulling out and holding a valve plunger manually retracts the boom lift cylinder. Smooth
pumping of the hand pump while engaging a single hydraulic valve lever enables boom
operation in case of a hydraulic power failure.
The Bil-Jax 5031A Hydraulic Boom Lift cylinders will not rust or corrode during
storage since the cylinder rod is fully immersed in oil. It is important that the cylinder
rods be kept clean and undamaged for the protection of the cylinder head packings.
