Rotary Coupling Seal Kit 7016342 – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Rotary Coupling Seal Kit with JLG Part Number 7016342 is a crucial maintenance kit designed specifically for the Rotary Coupling (or Swivel Joint), JLG Part Number 1660223, used on 4-wheel steer (4WS) JLG Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs).
The rotary coupling is a vital component located at the center of the turntable (turret). Its function is to allow the boom and turntable to rotate continuously while simultaneously transferring pressurized hydraulic fluid (and sometimes electrical current) to the stationary chassis (lower frame) for functions like drive and steering.
When the seals within the coupling (1660223) wear out, they cause external leaks or, more critically, internal cross-port leaks (fluid bypassing between circuits). This leads to pressure loss, slow functions, overheating, and erratic steering/drive performance. Using the 7016342 seal kit restores the coupling’s integrity, ensuring safe and reliable 4-wheel steer and drive operation during rotation.
