3.1 GENERAL

THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER MACHINE APPLI­CATION AND OPERATION. THE USER AND OPERATOR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING WITH GOOD SAFETY PRACTICES.
This section provides the necessary information needed to understand control function and operation.

3.2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION

The JLG MVL/MSP Model Lifts are electric self-propelled machines with an aerial work platform mounted to an elevating aluminum mast mechanism. The personnel lift’s intended purpose is to provide personnel access to areas above ground level. The MSP model lift is intended for stock picking purposes in retail stores or warehouses.
The primary control station is located in the platform. From the Platform Control Console the operator can drive the machine and raise or lower the platform.
The controls of the programmable Ground Control Station are to be used during machine power-up, machine maintenance or in case of emergency should the operator in the platform be unable to lower the platform.
Vibrations emitted by these machines are not hazardous to an operator working in the platform.
The continuous A-Weighted sound pressure level at the work plat­form is less than 70db (A).

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 in the 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.

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.

+50° F to +210° F (+10° C to +99° C) 20W-20
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.

5.5 DRIVE MOTOR BRUSH WEAR - WARNING INDICATION

The machines drive motors include brush wear sensors that activate a warning indicating the drive motor brushes will require replacment soon. This warning protects the drive motors from damage due to extreme brush wear.
When the brush wear warning is activated the Ground Control Station LCD screen will indicate a fault code of 6, also the hour­meter is set to countdown 25 hours of (DRIVE) operation remaining.
The Platform Control LEDs will indicate this warning with 8 flash­ing LEDs and an intermittent beep.
NOTE: Only the drive function when used will affect the hour
meter count down once the warning has been activated. The machine will operate normally until the last 10 sec­onds of the 25 hour countdown.
During the last 10 seconds of the 25 hour (DRIVE) countdown the machine will only drive in creep/turtle drive mode and plat­form lift up will be disabled. At this point cycling power on/off will only repeat the final 10 second mode cycle.
The machine will not operate normally until the drive motor brushes are replaced (repositioning the brush warning sensors), and the Ground Control Station is programmed to reset the Brush Wear - Warning Timer per the Service and Maintenance Manual.
