GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XLB-4016 Hydraulic Boom Lift is designed and manufactured for positioning per-
sonnel with their tools and equipment at overhead work locations. The rated work baske
load capacity is 474 lbs. Basket elevation is by two hydraulic cylinders acting on lower
and upper boom
360°around a vertical axis. The hydraulic power unit includes a reservoir, pump, and
control valves.
A 12 volt DC electric motor drives the hydraulic pump. The DC motor is powered by
two 6 volt DC, 175 Amp-hour batteries connected in series. An automatic on-board bat-
tery charger is provided for recharging the batteries at the end of each work period.
Two control panels use motion enable pushbuttons and proportional hydraulic valves to
control the direction and speed of boom lift and rotation. One set of operator controls is
provided for ground operation and another set is provided for operation from the bask
Elevation and rotation controls are operational only when the outriggers are correctly ex-
tended and the moving boom sections are within a programmed safe operating zone.
Only one boom motion is permitted at a time, and only as long as the boom is within
safe operating zone. When a selected boom motion reaches a safe operating limit, the
motion ceases and another 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 fu
weight of the boom lift is loaded onto the outriggers. An interlock prevents the retractin
of any outrigger while the upper or lower boom is raised two inches (50 mm) or more.
Boom elevation speed is a maximum of 1 foot per second (0 to 0.3 m/sec). The time re-
quired to fully extend
mended that no one adjust these speeds. If service is required, please notify Bil-Jax for
detailed instructions.
Emergency lowering of the basket is by manual valve plungers on
boom lift cylinders. Pulling out and holding a valve plunger while operating the contro
lever at the ground control station retracts the boom lift cylinder.
The XLB-4016 Hydraulic Boom Lift cylinders will not rust or corrode durin

Holding the green boom run pushbutton in starts the hydraulic motor and enables the
boom lift function. The lift boom cylinders can only be operated when the outrigger cyl-
inders are extended and the trailer is level.
Boom Lower Pushbutton
Holding the black boom lower pushbutton in enables the boom lowering function.
Boom Operator Lever
The boom operator lever positions proportional hydraulic valves to extend and retract the
boom lift cylinders. Lifting up on the boom operator lever while holding the boom raise
pushbutton causes the lower boom cylinder to extend and raise the lower boom. Pushing
down on the boom operator lever while holding the boom raise pushbutton causes the
upper boom cylinder to extend and raise the upper boom. How far the lever is lifted or
pushed controls the boom speed. When released, the boom operator lever returns to the
center (valve-off) position.
Outrigger Indicators
Four green LEDs indicate the status of the outriggers. When an outrigger is extended, the
corresponding green LED will light. All four outriggers must be properly deployed be-
fore the boom lift functions will be enabled.
EMERGENCY STOP Pushbutton
When pressed, the EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton disconnects electrical power to the
upper and lower control stations. The EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton should only be
pressed to immediately stop a hydraulic equipment motion. To resume control, rotate the
pushbutton clockwise.
Emergency Ball Valves
The emergency ball valves can be used to manually lower the work basket in an emer-
gency. During normal operation, these valves should be closed. The valves are closed
when the valve handles are horizontal.
