1. Introduction

ROTATION GEAR

The complete mast, jib and cage assembly can be rotated to provide a maximum outreach 

of 2.6m in the case of the MB20J and 2.96m in the case of the MB26J machine. This 

dimension is measured from the centreline of rotation and is carried out by means of an 

integral hydraulic motor driving a Worm Drive Unit, around a Slew Gear.

DRIVE & STEER SYSTEM

An electronic controller, mounted in the chassis, is pre-programmed to adjust the upper 

speed limit of each individual function. The controller limits the rotational speed of the 

electronic motor and oil pump, thereby limiting the maximum oil flow rate.

The following functions are controlled and driven by the electro-hydraulic system:
• Traction Drives (Fwd & Rev) mast stowed/mast raised.
• Steering and Jib elevation.
• Mast elevation, descent and rotation.

• The Jib descent function is gravity operated and is determined by built in flow regulators.

POWER SYSTEM

The Power System (Prime Mover) incorporates four 6V batteries driving a 4KW electro-

hydraulic pump. The pump drives all hydraulic cylinders and the traction drive motors. A 

single multi-valve control block diverts the oil pressure to the individual actuators. The oil 

flow rate is limited by the pre-programmed speed setting on the motor but is determined by 

the position of the joystick in the Upper Control Box.

Detailed descriptions of standard workshop procedures, safety 

principles and service operations are not included. Note that this 

manual does contain warnings and cautions against some specific 

service methods that could cause personal injury, or could damage a 

machine or make it unsafe. 
Please understand that these warnings cannot cover all conceivable
