6.2.3 Internal Inspection
NOTE: JLG does not recommend servicing of
gears, shafts or bearings inside this drop box. The
drop box is manufactured in such a way that
attempts at internal disassembly of these items
may cause damage to other parts and possibly the
drop box case. The only serviceable items of this
drop box are the yokes and oil seals. If internal
servicing of drop box is required while still under
warranty, JLG recommends that the box be re-
turned to the factory for rebuild or replaced with a
new box. Out of warranty repairs or rebuilding may
be performed at the customer’s discretion; how-
ever, it is not an easy job.
