INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

A. GENERAL

This section contains the general safety precautions
which must be observed during maintenance of the aerial
platform. It is of utmost importance that maintenance per­sonnel pay strict attention to these warnings and precau­tions to avoid possible injury to themselves or others or
damage to the equipment. A maintenance program must
be established by a qualified person and must be followed
to ensure that the machine is safe to operate.

MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE WITHOUT CERTIFICATION BY
A RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY THAT THE MACHINE IS AT LEAST
AS SAFE AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED IS A SAFETY VIOLA­TION.

The specific precautions to be observed during machine
maintenance are inserted at the appropriate point in the
manual. These precautions are, for the most part, those
that apply when servicing hydraulic and larger machine
component parts.

Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of component weight and never attempt to
move heavy parts without the aid of a mechanical device.
Do not allow heavy objects to rest in an unstable position.
When raising a portion of the equipment, ensure that ade­quate support is provided.

SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CON­TROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IN THIS AREA IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/
OPERATOR.

C. MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN
THIS SECTION COULD RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSON­NEL INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.

• REMOVE ALL RINGS, WATCHES, AND JEWELRY
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.

• DO NOT WEAR LONG HAIR UNRESTRAINED, OR
LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING AND NECKTIES WHICH
ARE APT TO BECOME CAUGHT ON OR ENTANGLED
IN EQUIPMENT.

• OBSERVE AND OBEY ALL DANGER, WARNING, CAU­TION AND OTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON MACHINE
AND IN SERVICE MANUAL.

• KEEP STANDING SURFACES AND HAND HOLDS
FREE OF OIL, GREASE, WATER, ETC.

• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM
UNTIL PLATFORM HAS BEEN SAFELY RESTRAINED
FROM ANY MOVEMENT BY BLOCKING OR OVER­HEAD SLING.

• BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR
PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE, SHUT
OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS.

•BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED
DURING REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL COMPO­NENTS.

• KEEP ALL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND ATTACH­MENTS STOWED IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.

• USE ONLY APPROVED, NONFLAMMABLE CLEANING
SOLVENTS.

B. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY

1. It should be particularly noted that the machines
hydraulic systems operate at extremely high and
potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should
be made to relieve any system pressure prior to dis­connecting or removing any portion of the system.

2. Relieve system pressure by activating the lift DOWN
control with the platform completely lowered to
direct any line pressure back into the return line to
the reservoir. Pressure feed lines to system compo­nents can then be disconnected with minimal fluid
loss.

TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC­TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.

Once the walk-around inspection is complete, a functional
check of all systems should be performed in an area free
of overhead and ground level obstructions. Perform a
functional check in accordance with the following proce­dures:

1. Set-up machine for operation according to instruc­tions in Section 4-3, “Machine Set-Up & Operation”,

(i.e.. smooth, firm level surface, set floor brake and
make sure castor wheels are off ground, etc.)

2. Enter platform, raise and lower platform 2 ft. to 3 ft.

(.61m to .92m) several times. Check for smooth ele­vation and lowering of platform.

3. With platform completely lowered, check hydraulic
oil level in reservoir at ground control station. Main­tain an oil level to the "Fill to Line" indicator on the
side of the reservoir. NEVER USE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE FLUID.

NOTE: If oil level is low, add hydraulic oil with a minimum

Service Classification of GL-3, and an SAE viscocity
of 10W-30 or 10W-20 and a viscosity index of 152.
See Section 1 of the Service Manual for more details
about hydraulic oil for this machine.

2.7 BATTERY CHARGING & MAINTENANCE

(ELI-DC MODELS ONLY)

ELI-DC Models are equipped with 12 volt, 10 amp output
battery chargers (U.S.A. - 120V-AC/60Hz input). The bat-
tery charger has a microprocessor controlled automatic
charge sensing circuit which can determine cell voltage
and regulate charger output as required. The charger
automatically terminates charging when a full battery
charge is acheived.

Battery Maintenance and Safety Practices

(See Figure 2-2.)

ENSURE THAT BATTERY ACID DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT
WITH SKIN OR CLOTHING. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
EYEWEAR WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES. NEUTRALIZE ANY
BATTERY ACID SPILLS WITH BAKING SODA AND WATER.

BATTERY ACID RELEASES AN EXPLOSIVE GAS WHILE CHARG­ING, ALLOW NO OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS OR LIGHTED TOBACCO
PRODUCTS IN THE AREA WHILE CHARGING BATTERIES.
CHARGE BATTERIES ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

ADD ONLY DISTILLED WATER TO BATTERIES. WHEN ADDING
DISTILLED WATER TO THE BATTERIES, A NON-METALLIC CON­TAINER AND/OR FUNNEL MUST BE USED.

Check the electrolyte level of the batteries often, adding
only distilled water when required. When fully charged,
battery fluid level should be 1/8" below vent tubes. (See
Figure 2-2.).

2.6 TORQUE REQUIREMENTS

The Torque Chart, Figure 2-6., consists of standard torque
values based on bolt diameter and grade, it also specifies
dry and wet torque values in accordance with recom­mended shop practices. This chart is provided as an aid
to the user/operator in the event the user/operator notices
a condition that requires prompt attention during the walk­around inspection or during operation until the proper ser­vice personnel can be notified. Utilizing this Torque Chart
in conjunction with the Preventive Maintenance table in
Section 2 of the Service and Maintenance Manual, will
enhance the safety, reliability and performance of this
machine.

• DO NOT fill to bottom of vent tubes.

• DO NOT allow fluid level to go below the top of the

plates when charging or operating.

Battery Charger Operation

(See Figure 2-3. & 2-4.)

Position machine in well ventilated area near an AC electri­cal outlet and set the Ground Control-PLAT/OFF/GRND
key switch to the OFF position.

ALWAYS CHECK THE VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH ON THE FACE

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 MACHINE DESCRIPTION

ELI machines are manually propelled machines, with a
platform mounted to an elevating aluminum mast mecha­nism. The mast is raised and lowered by a hydraulic cylin­der extending between mast section-1 and -2, the
remaining mast sections are proportionally extended and
retracted using steel chains and cables. Hydraulic pres­sure is supplied to the lift cylinder by an electrically pow­ered hydraulic pump. The platform may be raised only
when lift is positioned on smooth, firm, level surface with
the floor brake set. The ELI personnel lift’s intended pur­pose is to provide personnel (with their tools and supplies)
access to areas above ground level.

The ELI personnel lift has a primary operator control sta­tion in the platform. From this control station the operator
can raise and lower the platform. A ground control station
is also provided. This station contains a keyed power on/
off switch, an emergency stop button and an emergency/
manual decent valve which enables the platform to be
lowered to the ground in an emergency, if the operator in
the platform is unable to do so, or if a power failure should
occur.

Instructions and warnings are posted adjacent to both
operator control stations and at other places on the
machine. It is extremely important that the user/operator
know what instructions and warnings are placed on the
machine and in the manual. And that these instructions
and warning’s be reviewed periodically. The JLG person­nel lift is designed to provide efficient and safe operation
when maintained and operated in accordance with
instructions and warnings on the machine, in the Operat­ing, Safety and Maintenance Manual and all jobsite and
government rules and regulations.

As with any type of machinery, the operator is very
important to efficient and safe operation. It is absolutely
necessary that the JLG lift be regularly maintained in
accordance with this manual.

Any evidence of lack of maintenance, malfunction, exces­sive wear, damage or modification to the machine must be
reported immediately to the machine owner, the jobsite
supervisor or safety manager and the machine must be
taken out of service until all discrepancies are corrected.

The JLG personnel lift is not intended to be used to lift
material other than supplies which personnel in the plat­form require to do their job. Supplies or tools which
extend outside the platform are prohibited except for JLG
approved recepticals. The personnel lift must not be used
as a forklift, crane, or support for overhead structure.

The total platform capacity is to be uniformly distributed in
the center of the platform. This means that the total com­bined weight of personnel, tools and supplies loaded into
the platform must not exceed the total platform capacity.

4.2 GENERAL

This section provides the necessary information needed
to operate the machine. Included in this section are the
procedures for set-up, raising, lowering, platform loading
and transporting. It is important that the user read and
understand the proper procedures before operating the
machine. Although some of the more important operating
safety precautions will be listed in the following paragraph
sections, it is extremely important all safety precautions in
Section 1 - Safety Precautions be read and understood
before operating machine. If a “Daily Walk-Around Inspec­tion”, (see Section 2-4.) has not been completed, perform
this inspection before starting set-up and operation. The
operator must also be familiar with all machine controls as
described in Section 3 - User/Operator Responsibilities
and Machine Controls.

SECTION 5 - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

5.2 EXTENDIBLE PLATFORM OPERATION

The optional extendible platform is designed to increase
operator reach over the front of the machine, this allows
the operator access to work areas which may otherwise
be unreachable from the standard platform. The following
procedures describe proper use of the Extendible Plat­form.

Mounting to Mast

The Extendible Platform uses the same quick-mount hard­ware as the standard platform, see Section 4-4. Quick­Change Platform in the Operators and Safety manual for
procedures to mount and remove the platform on the
mast.

Once the platform is mounted re-check that all mounting
pins on upper and lower platform mast mounts, two (2)
pins on upper mount and two (2) pins on lower mount are
installed and secure.

Entering/Exiting Platform

(Refer to Figure 5-1.)

The Extendible Platform is equpped with a swing-up gull­wing gate for entrance into the platform.

Extending Platform

(Refer to Figure 5-1.)

1. Locate the two (2) platform extend handles, one (1)
located each side of platform on the vertical rails at
the back of the platform.

2. Grasp each extend handle and pull the handle up to
a horizontal position releasing it from the spring
clamp. Face the mast and pull the extend handles to
extend the platform extension forward away from
mast.

3. Slide the platform extension forward until it’s com-
pletely extended, and the extend handles line up
with the spring clamps on the vertical rail at the
opposite end of the platform.

4. Next fold the extend handles down until they lock
into the spring clamps on the vertical rail, this will
lock the platform extension in place.

Retracting Platform

(Refer to Figure 5-1.)

1. To retract the platform grasp the extend handles
now located at the middle of the extended platform
on the vertical rail. Pull up on each handle to a hori­zontal position to clear the handle spring clamps.

THE TOTAL WEIGHT CAPACITY FOR THE EXTENDIBLE PLAT­FORM ASSEMBLY IS 300 LB. (136 KG) U.S.A.

To enter the platform:

1. Raise the swing up gate by grasping the front mid

rail with one hand and pull up on the gate lock-pin
release cable on the front of the platform assembly.

2. Next lift the gate high enough to enter the platform.
Step into the platform, when completely inside plat­form, lower the gate until it’s closed and the gate
lock-pin is engaged and locked.

To e x i t p l a t f o r m :

1. Repeat the above steps and exit the platform.

2. Retract the platform extension by standing on the

rear (mast) platform section and pulling the extend
handles toward the mast, (you may need to pull the
handles halfway then turn and push them the rest of
the way to fully retract the platform extension).

3. When both extend handles line up with the handle
spring clamps on the vertical rail at the rear of the
platform, fold the handles down locking them into
the spring clamps.
