This reminds me of a time that I spent a week running one of those pull behind man basket things. It had plenty of sensors and safety features. I'd be working along and an outrigger sensor would get out of kilter and I'd have to go down, fold everything up and start over. Atleast the daggum thing would go down and it wouldn't just leave me up in the air.
I'm sure you verified you don't have any "alert lights" on and your emergency switches are flipped right and if you have a basket/ground selector switch, it's flipped correctly. Hydraulic fluid level?

UPDATE. For those who might be interested

Motion industries was a great contact. They could not help me with mobile repair but went over a little things and confirmed my theory that it is most likely the pump. When it comes off the truck they will be the ones to rebuild / replace it

The truck was stuck at a really good customers building. Money was not really an issue to get the truck out of their way. still, Kirby Smith.... #@*k those people. I'll never do business with them ever again.

I'm not excited about removing the pump any time soon. The return line is something like 1-1/2 inch. and the tank holds like 40 gallons. After pumping out the tank I'm sure it will still be a mess.


To get the truck down off of the outriggers is a huge pain. The is a small locking valve on the up position and a 3/4 or so one in the hold down. To get it down we removed them, the lines and a vent. it would spew oil until the truck was on the tire. Then I took the valve out. Replaced with a barb fitting at the vent and used a 3/8 hose to pump remaining into a bucket when we used a come along to raise the outrigger. 4 outriggers and cleanup took all darn day.



Thanks for all the responses it was much appreciated

They sell AN/FIC plugs that you can use to minimize fluid loss and mess when working on hydraulics. I ordered a set off eBay, but Kim's International or Cherokee may have them in stock.
