- 45’ eagle towable manlift
hey fellas just found this forum, I’ve had an extremely hard time finding a proper forum for hydraulics, and I’d appreciate your help.
I’ve got a 45’ Eagle towable and it’s just yiur simple boom lift, with manual outriggers and hardly any electronics at all. And a Honda engine running it and that’s it. Nice and simple it’s got a bottom boom and the top boom with left and right on the turret.
The problem is I think it’s a 1996 but the company was sold several times so I haven’t been able to locate any kind of manual however I did talk to a guy and he sent me 4 pages of info including the hydraulic schematic.
The bottom boom started leaking down slowly and when I use the bottom controls it goes up really fast but it still leaks down. When I use the top controls it’s always been really slow and it leaks Down as well.
I’m guessing it’s tge top controls because I’ve had them leaking for awhile slowly by the orings on the three spool valve. When u take it apart the spools look kinda worn, they aren’t real sharp and they just look alittle worn.
Do y’all think that sounds like a valve problem? Because the cylinders were repacked 4-5 years ago. The cylinders aren’t leaking anywhere.
What kind of valve is it that I need for the top 3 spool control (top and bottom boom, and left snd right.) are these cylinders double acting on the booms and what about the turret, it’s got a rotary motor on it ti turn it, would that be a different type? Here’s the schematic.
I don’t know what type of spool valve to order and I have no idea how many gallons per minute it should be either. Like I said the top controls are pretty darn slow, I realize the top controls are usually slower for safety but any insights into that would be appreciated.
It’s got a n 9hp Honda engine on it with a 5 gallon tank. Thanks again for any help I can get in this matter.
