SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND OPERATION
To Charge Batteries
1. Park machine in a well ventilated area near an AC voltage
electrical outlet.
2. Always use a grounded
AC outlet. Connect charger to an outlet that has
been properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. A
grounded outlet is
required to reduce risk of
electric shock – do not
use ground adapters or
modify plug. When using
an extension cord, avoid
excessive voltage drops
by using a grounded 3wire 12 AWG cord.
Battery Charging Status Indicators
The battery charging status indicators are located just above the
Charger AC input receptacle on the center cover section at the
rear of the machine. (See Figure 3-1. on page 3-8)
1. When plugged in the charger will automatically turn on and
run through a short LED indicator self-test (all LED’s will flash
in an up-down sequence for two seconds).
2. The YELLOW ‘CHARGING’ LED will turn on and a trickle current will be applied until a minimum voltage is reached.
CHARGING
YELLOW (MIDDLE) LED ON
Charge Incomplete
Once a minimum battery voltage of 2 volts per cell is
detected, the charger will enter the bulk charging constantcurrent stage and the YELLOW ‘CHARGING’ LED will remain
on. The length of charge time will vary by how large and how
depleted the battery pack is, the input voltage (the higher,
the better), and ambient temperatures (the lower, the better).
If the input AC voltage is low (below 104VAC), then the
charging power will be reduced to avoid high input currents.
If the ambient temperature is too high, then the charging
3-4– JLG Lift –3121230
SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND OPERATION
power will also be reduced to maintain a maximum internal
temperature.
3. When the GREEN ‘CHARGED’ LED turns on, the batteries
are completely charged.
CHARGE COMPLETE
GREEN (TOP) LED ON
100% Complete
The charger may now be unplugged from AC power (always
pull on plug and not cord to reduce risk of damage to the
cord). If left plugged in, the charger will automatically restart
a complete charge cycle if the battery pack voltage drops
below a minimum voltage or 30 days has elapsed.
4. If a fault occurred anytime during charging, a fault indication
is given by flashing the RED ‘FAULT’ LED with a code corresponding to the error.
CHARGING PROBLEM
RED (BOTTOM) LED ON
See Flash Codes following
There are several possible conditions that generate errors.
Some errors are serious and require human intervention to
first resolve the problem and then to reset the charger by
interrupting AC power for at least 10 seconds. Others may be
simply transient and will automatically recover when the fault
condition is eliminated. To indicate which error occurred, the
RED ‘FAULT’ LED will flash a number of times, pause, and
then repeat.
[1 FLASH] Battery Voltage High: auto-recover. Indicates a
high battery pack voltage.
[2 FLASH] Battery Voltage Low: auto-recover. Indicates
either a battery pack failure, battery pack is not connected to
charger, or battery volts per cell is less than 0.5 VDC. Check
the battery pack and battery pack connections.
3121230– JLG Lift –3-5
SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND OPERATION
[3 FLASH] Charge Timeout: Indicates the battery did not
charge within the allowed time. This could occur if the battery is of a larger capacity than the algorithm is intended for.
It can also occur if the battery pack is damaged, old, or in
poor condition. In unusual cases it could mean charger output is reduced due to high ambient temperature.
[4 FLASH] Check Battery: Indicates the battery pack could
not be trickle charged up to the minimum 2 volts per cell
level required for the charge to be started. This may also
indicate that one or more cells in the battery pack are
shorted or damaged.
[5 FLASH] Over-Temperature: auto-recover. Indicates charger has shutdown due to high internal temperature which
typically indicates there is not sufficient airflow for cooling –
see step 1 of Installation Instructions. Charger will restart and
charge to completion if temperature is within accepted limits.
[6 FLASH] QuikQ Fault: Indicates that the batteries will not
accept charge current, or an internal fault has been detected
in the charger. This fault will nearly always be set within the
first 30 seconds of operation. Once it has been determined
that the batteries and connections are not faulty and Fault 6
is again displayed after interrupting AC power for at least 10
seconds, the charger must be brought to a qualified service
depot.

3.11 TRANSPORTING, LIFTING AND
TIE DOWN PROCEDURES
General
All MVL and MSP Model Personnel Lifts may be transported to a
work site using the following methods:
• Driving the machine around on its base wheels if travel surface area permits.
• Loaded, IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION ONLY onto a heavy-duty
vehicle with the payload capacity capable of supporting the
full weight of the machine (Check machine gross weights inthe Operating Spec Chart at the beginning of this Section).
• Moved with a fork-lift truck using the fork-lift pockets in the
base frame.
Truc k Tra nsp ort
DO NOT TRANSPORT THE MACHINE IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION DUE TO
LEAKAGE OF BATTERY ACID FROM THE BATTERIES OR HYDRAULIC FLUID
FROM THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.
The machine may be winched onto a tilted roll-back truck bed
(see important note following) which has been rolled back to
ground level. Disengage the brakes and always winch (pull) from
the mast (rear) end of the machine, using the rear tie-down loop
attached to the base frame.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE MACHINE ONTO, OFF OF, OR PUSH MACHINE
ONTO A TILTED ROLL-BACK TRUCK BED.
THE MVL AND MSP MACHINES POWER MODULE COULD SUSTAIN SERIOUS DAMAGE WHEN THE UNIT IS PUSHED, OR TOWED AT SPEEDS
GREATER THAN 2 MPH.
WHEN TOWING OR WINCHING, THE MACHINE’S BRAKES MUST BE DISENGAGED.
RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES ONCE MACHINE IS IN PLACE WITH TRUCK BED
LEVEL AND READY FOR TIE DOWN.
TIE DOWN LOOPS ARE PROVIDED ON BOTH ENDS OF THE BASE FRAME TO
SECURE MACHINE TO BED OF TRANSPORT VEHICLE.

Machine Tie-Down
With machine in position to be tied down and brakes engaged,
use the following guidelines for restraining the machine during
transport.
USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN SECURING MACHINE (DRIVE WHEEL
LOAD), CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINES DRIVE WHEEL COMPONENTS.
1. Secure machine with an adequate chain attached through
the tie down loops located at the front and rear of machine.
(See Figure 3-6.)
2. The chain should be securely tightened with a force of
approximately 100 lb. applied two feet from the pivot handle.
Crane Hook Accessory (Option)
The crane hook accessory provides an attachment point for a lifting device to lift the machine. The lifting device must be capable of
handling the gross weight of the machine, see the machine specifications Section 5 of this manual.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE CRANE HOOK ACCESSORY AS AN ATTACH
POINT TO LIFT ITEMS WITH THE MAST ASSEMBLY. THIS WILL RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THE MAST AND POSSIBLE MACHINE TIPPING.

3.13 OBSTRUCTION SENSING SYSTEM (MSP OPTION)
System Description
The Obstruction Sensing System (OSS) is designed to detect the
presence of obstructions within a predetermined detection zone
beneath the platform, when lowering the platform from an elevated
position.
NOTE: The OSS only operates normally when the Ground Control
Module - Power Selector Switch is set to PLATFORM
CONTROL MODE.
When the Power Selector Switch is set to GROUND CONTROL MODE the OSS will detect an obstruction but will
not stop platform downward movement or sound the
horn. However, the OSS Control Module LED will flash if a
sensor detects the presence of an object.
Operation
NOTE: See Figure 3-10. for the location of the OSS Electronic
module.
When the machine is powered on a RED LED located on the OSS
electronics module will illuminate. During platform lowering, if no
obstructions have entered the detection zone beneath the platform, the platform will lower normally.
If an obstruction is detected within the detection zone beneath the
platform, the platform will;
•Stop Lowering
• The RED LED on the electronics module will flash
• The horn will sound three short blasts
If an obstruction is detected, have the obstruction cleared by
someone on the ground or carefully drive the lift until clear of the
obstruction. Reset the OSS by pressing the horn button on the
platform control once and continue machine operation. Should
the OSS falsely detect an obstruction, the system can be overridden by pressing and holding the horn button while operating the
platform lowering controls.
ALWAYS CHECK THE AREA UNDER THE PLATFORM IS CLEAR OF
OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LOWERING THE PLATFORM.

OSS Pre-Start Inspection
(See Figure 3-10.)
From ground controls, raise platform approximately 5'-6'. The RED
LED on the electronic module will be illuminated when power is
applied. If an obstruction, such as a pad of paper is placed under
any of the transducer sensor arrays, the RED LED will flash and
remain flashing while the obstruction is present and stop flashing
3 seconds after the obstruction is removed. Check the operation
of each transducer sensor array by placing an object individually
under each sensor array (within approximately 6"-12") and checking if the RED LED starts to "flash", and stops flashing 3 seconds
after the obstruction is removed. Also, inspect the transducer
arrays and electronic module for physical damage, loose wires,
loose mounting hardware, etc.

5.3 OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
Battery
The OEM batteries are AGM sealed (VRLA) type so the electrolyte level cannot be serviced, however the battery terminals
should be checked periodically for corrosion and tightness. The
batteries are located under the top rear hood covers on each
side of the Ground Control Station.
Tires and Wheels
Tire Wear and Damage
Inspect tires periodically for wear or damage. Tires with worn
edges or distorted profiles require replacement. Tires with significant damage in the tread area or side wall, require immediate
evaluation before replacing the machine into service.
Wheel and Tire Replacement
Replacement wheels must have the same diameter and profile
as the original. Replacement tires must be the same size and
rating as the tire being replaced.
Wheel Installation
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque.
WHEEL LUG NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE
PROPER TORQUE TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKEN LUG NUTS,
AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM THE AXLE. BE SURE
TO USE ONLY THE LUG NUTS MATCHED TO THE CONE ANGLE OF THE
WHEEL.
3121230– JLG Lift –5-9
SECTION 5 - GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque to prevent wheels from
coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners. If
you do not have a torque wrench, tighten the fasteners with a
lug wrench, then immediately have a service garage or dealer
tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque. Over-tightening will
result in breaking the lug nuts or permanently deforming the
mounting holes in the wheels. The proper procedure for attaching wheels is as follows:
1. Start all lug nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. DO
NOT use a lubricant on threads or nuts.
2. Tighten lug nuts in the following sequence.
Figure 5-1. Wheel Lug Nut Tightening Sequence
3. The tightening of the lug nuts should be done in stages.
Following the recommended sequence, tighten lug nuts
per wheel torque.

Hydraulic oils must have anti-wear qualities at least to API Service Classification GL-3, and sufficient chemical stability for
mobile hydraulic system service. JLG Industries, recommends
Mobilfluid 424 hydraulic oil, which has an SAE viscosity of 10W30 and a viscosity index of 152.
For cold weather applications, i.e. when temperatures remain
consistently below +20°F (–7°C) JLG recommends using Mobil
DTE 13 hydraulic oil.
Aside from JLG recommendations, it is not advisable to mix oils
of different brands or types, as they may not contain the same
required additives or be of comparable viscosities. If use of
hydraulic oil other than Mobilfluid 424 is desired, contact JLG
Industries for proper recommendations.
