Condor T60, T66J 1998 Service Manual

Working on a boom lift without the right specs is how bolts get stripped and people get hurt. I’ve seen it happen. You need torque values for the drive motor mounts, proper sequence for the hydraulic fill procedure, and the exact decal placement for OSHA. That’s why you want the Condor T60, T66J 1998 Service Manual on your bench – not some scanned copy from a forum.

Safety: Page 3 Is Where You Start

Section I of this manual covers Safety – page 3 gives you the safety symbols, page 4 the rules, and page 8 the decals. Every decal on the machine has a part number and placement diagram in this book. I don’t care if you’ve run a T60 for ten years; you check the decal locations against the manual. The ANSI A92.5-1992 manual of responsibilities is included here too. Skip this section and you’re asking for a citation.

Machine Operation: Ground and Platform Controls

Section II breaks down the primary machine components starting on page 13, then walks through the range of operation on page 14. The ground controls (page 16) and platform controls (page 20) are diagrammed with callouts for every switch and indicator. If you’re training a new operator, have them read pages 26–34 on start‑up procedures cold‑weather operation before they touch the joystick. The boom operation (page 35) includes the sequence for extending and rotating with load charts. This is factory content – not a condensed summary.

Does This Manual Cover the Diesel Engine?

Yes, both the gas and diesel engine operations are detailed on pages 39. The gas engine section covers the Ford LRG‑425 and the diesel covers the Kubota or Deutz (depending on serial number). Starting procedures, governor adjustments, and fuel system bleeding are all there. If you’re chasing a no‑start, the cold‑weather operation section on page 34 gives you the ether injection and glow plug sequence. That page alone has saved me an hour of troubleshooting on a winter job site.

3 Reasons to Trust an OEM Print Over Aftermarket Copies

First, the torque specs – aftermarket manuals often use generic values that don’t match the Condor aluminum‑steel interface on the swivel joint. Second, the decal part numbers are updated in this 1998 edition; many third‑party reprints omit the revision log. Third, the wiring diagrams are original Condor schematics, not redrawn by someone who never touched a T66J. I’ve had to re‑pin a connector because a reprint showed the wrong pinout. This manual is the same binder that came with the machine from Time Condor Corporation. The cover says “MANUAL 92375‑001, April 1998.” That’s your guarantee.

Moving From Job Site to Job Site: Loading and Tie‑Down

Section III (page 40) covers unloading, loading, and tie‑down procedures. If you’re transporting a T60 on a flatbed, you need the strap locations and D‑ring capacities from this section. The boom must be in the stowed position per the diagram on page 41. I’ve seen machines slide off trailers because the operator guessed the tie‑down points. Get it from the manual.

Who Needs This Manual?

If you own a Condor T60 or T66J boom lift, this is the book that should live in the weatherproof box in the platform. Rental yards need it for pre‑delivery inspections. Fleet mechanics need it for annual recertification. Home garage guys who bought a used T60 at auction – you need this manual more than anyone because you didn’t get the original paperwork. The 342 pages cover everything from safety decals to the parts breakdown. You’ll find the related manuals for earlier serial numbers if your unit is outside the P34698001 range.

Why This Is Not an Aftermarket Reprint

Look at the page count: 342 pages. Aftermarket “service manuals” for the T60 rarely exceed 150 pages. They cut the safety section, remove the parts illustrations, and compress the wiring diagrams. This PDF is a direct scan of the original April 1998 binder. Every page matches the factory document. The serial number break is P34698001 and newer. If you need the exact torque for the drive hub bolts, it’s in the service section. The Manual Transmission section (page 38 of the machine operation) covers the Hytrexx drive – that’s factory data you won’t find in a Chilton equivalent.
