Pressure Switch 70000803 – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Pressure Switch with JLG part number 70000803 is a critical electro-mechanical component used in the hydraulic and control systems of various JLG Articulating and Telescopic Boom Lifts.1 This switch is essential for monitoring hydraulic system pressure and providing an electrical feedback signal to the machine’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or directly to a relay/solenoid. It typically closes or opens an electrical circuit when the hydraulic pressure reaches a specific, calibrated setpoint.
Pressure switches are vital for functions such as safety interlocks, brake release systems, hydraulic oil level monitoring, or activating high-pressure circuits.2 The part number 70000803 is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as drive cutout, brake failure to release, incorrect fault codes, or failure to engage a high-pressure function due to the switch failing to operate correctly at the specified pressure threshold.3
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Pressure Monitoring: Provides accurate electrical feedback based on hydraulic system pressure reaching a setpoint.
✅ Safety Critical: Essential for various safety interlocks and hydraulic system monitoring functions.
✅ Wide JLG Compatibility: Used across multiple JLG high-reach boom lift platforms.4
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for JLG part number 70000803.
