GENERAL INTRODUCTION  
The Bil-Jax 3522A Articulating Boom Lift (Figure 2-1) is a Summit  
Series™ Trailer-Mounted Boom, designed and manufactured to position  
personnel with their tools and equipment at overhead work locations.  
The work platform load capacity is rated at 500 pounds. During all boom  
operations, four extended outriggers support the unit.  
The boom lift is battery powered and operated with electronic pushbutton  
controls, a hydraulic power unit, a hydraulic gear motor and hydraulic  
cylinders. 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 a telescopic boom. A  
master and slave cylinder maintain the work platform at level while  
raising and lowering the boom. The hydraulic motor and mating worm  
gear allow the boom to rotate 700º around a vertical axis.

The hydraulic power unit uses a 24 Volt, one  
horsepower DC motor to drive the hydraulic pump.  
The DC motor is powered by four 6 Volt DC, 245  
Amp-hour deep charge batteries connected in  
series. A 25 Amp, automatic onboard battery  
charger is provided with standard models for  
recharging the batteries at the end of each work  
period.  
Two control panels (Figure 2-2) use pushbutton  
switches and 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  
platform. Elevation and rotation controls are  
operational only when the outriggers are correctly  
extended and the moving boom section is within a  
programmed safe operating zone.  
Figure 2-3. Range of Motion  
Outrigger load sensing switches and level sensing  
interlocks prevent all platform boom 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. A boom-raised interlock  
Figure 2-2. Boom Lift Control Panel (Ground)  
prevents outrigger operation until the platform boom  
is fully lowered to the stowed position.  
The ground and platform control panels include  
CHOKE and START buttons for use with boom models  
equipped with an optional DC/gasoline hybrid  
generator for continuous duty. Battery condition  
indicators show the charge state of the batteries.  
When pressed, a STOP button at each control panel  
immediately stops all boom motions. The ground  
control panel includes a lighted text window that  
displays the present operating status or an existing  
error condition. The platform control panel includes a  
horn button that sounds an audible alarm when  
pressed.  
Safety devices prevent the boom from retracting  
suddenly in the event of a hydraulic hose or system  
failure. It is strongly recommended that no one  
adjust or tamper with these safety devices. If service  
is required, please notify Bil-Jax for instructions.  
Each cylinder rod is fully immersed in oil to prevent  
rust or corrosion of the cylinders during storage. It is  
important that the cylinder rods be kept clean and  
undamaged for the protection of the cylinder head  
packings.  
Boom elevation, extension and rotation speeds are  
selected from low to high by SPEED buttons. The lift  
and extension cylinders have load-holding valves in  
the base of each cylinder in case of a hydraulic hose  
failure.  
In the event of power loss, control system failure or  
other malfunction, all boom movement functions may  
be accomplished by manual operations.  
Manual lowering of the platform is performed by  
actuating valve plungers found on the base of each  
boom lift cylinder. Pushing and holding each valve  
retracts the corresponding boom lift cylinder. The  
boom may need to be rotated to a clear area before  
lowering.  
Only one boom motion is permitted at a time and  
only as long as the boom is within the safe operating  
zone (Figure 2-3). When a selected boom motion  
exceeds a safe operating limit, the boom motion  
ceases and another boom motion must be selected  
within the safe operating zone.  
Manual boom retraction and turntable rotation are  
accessed inside the pump compartment. The hand  
pump and selected valves on the hydraulic pump  
unit are used for these functions.
