Introduction 
2-1  GENERAL  DESCRIPTION 
The XLB-4232 DC Boom Lift is designed and manufactured for positioning personnel 
with their tools and equipment at overhead work locations. The rated work basket load 
capacity is 300 lbs. for the XLB-4232. Basket elevation is by two hydraulic cylinders 
acting on the boom sections. A hydraulic powered motor and worm gear rotates the boom 
360
°
 around a vertical axis. The hydraulic power unit includes a reservoir, pump, and 
control valves.  
On the battery powered (DC Model) boom lift, dual 24 Volt, 39 Amp, one horsepower, 
DC electric motors drive the hydraulic pump. The DC motor is powered by four 6 Volt 
DC, 245 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. 
Two control panels use directional selector 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 basket. Elevation and 
rotation controls are operational only when the moving boom section is within a 
programmed safe operating zone. Only one boom motion is permitted at a time, and only 
as long as the boom is within the 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 and wheel position interlock safety switches prevent lifting operations until the 
four outriggers are properly deployed and the full weight of the boom lift is loaded onto 
the outriggers. 
Boom elevation speeds are selected from low to high by a toggle switch. A hydraulic hose 
failure at either retract-cylinder port will cause a velocity fuse to close and 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 detailed instructions. 
Emergency lowering of the basket is by a manual valve on the base of the lift cylinder. 
Pushing in and turning 1/4 turn manually retracts the upper boom lift cylinder. The boom 
may need to be manually rotated to a clear area before lowering. 
The 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.
