Platform Rotator
The platform rotator is a hydraulically activated
helical gear assembly used to rotate the platform
160 degrees.
How to Remove the Platform
Rotator
Component damage hazard.
Mark the platform mounting
weldment and the rotator flange
before removing the platform
mounting weldment. The
platform mounting weldment
must be replaced in the exact
same position on the rotator
flange as it was before removal.
If a new rotator is installed or the
rotator is disassembled, proper
alignment can be achieved by
rotating the rotator all the way to
the left and then installing the
platform mounting weldment all
the way in the left position.
Note: When removing a hose assembly or fitting,
the O-ring (if equipped) on the fitting and/or hose
end must be replaced. All connections must be
torqued to specification during installation. Refer to
Specifications, Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque
Specifications.
1 Remove the platform and platform support.
Note: S-60 HC: If the load sense components are
disassembled and/or removed from the platform
support, the platform load sense system will need
to be calibrated. Refer to Repair Procedure,
Platform Load Sense System, S-60 HC.

leveling arms and the platform mounting
weldment with an appropriate lifting device.
Do not apply any lifting pressure.

mounting weldment. Remove the center bolt
and slide the platform mounting weldment off
of the platform rotator.
Crushing hazard. The platform
mounting weldment may
become unbalanced and fall if it
is not properly supported.
