The brakes are ENGAGED (normal driving position) when the handle is in the up (vertical) position. The brakes are DIS- ENGAGED when the handle is pulled down in a horizontal position, (machine can be moved manually when the han- dle is pulled down in a horizontal position).

The variable speed control knob can be used to increase or decrease the maximum drive speed of the machine. Clockwise rotation of the knob increases speed, counterclockwise decreases speed.

When the platform is elevated drive speed is automatically cut to one fourth of when the platform was in the lowered position.

8. WARNING HORN SWITCH

If machine is equipped with (optional) mounted horn, this switch when pressed sounds the horn.

Brake Release Control

(See Figure 3-3.)

Standard equipment on all VPSP model lifts is a braking system integrated into the electric motor drive system. The braking system is spring engaged and released electrically while the machine is being driven with the joystick controller. When the lift is at rest or the power is turned off, the brakes are automatically engaged.

If the lift must be moved around manually such as described in the following examples; the batteries become depleted and the machine needs to be moved

3.5 JLG POT-HOLE PROTECTION DEVICE

(See Figure 3-4.)

VPSP model lifts are equipped with JLG’s Pot-Hole-Protection system (PHP). The PHP system consists of hinged steel bars extending from the bottom edge of both sides of the base frame. The steel bars are cable operated by a spring loaded actuator mounted on the base frame directly under the mast assembly. The PHP bars are automatically ENGAGED (lowered) when the platform is raised more than (approximately) six (6) inches. The bars have a ground clearance of approximately three quarters (3/4) inch when ENGAGED (lowered), and are designed to support the weight of the machine should one of its wheels drop into a hole or crack. As the machine drops onto the PHP bar, the bar will limit the amount of tilt the machine will incur and reduce the likelihood of the machine tipping over. If this condition should occur, the operator must then fully lower and exit the platform, then safely remove the machine from the situation.

When the machine is driven in areas where obstacles are higher than three quarters (3/4) inch off the work surface (door sills, thick carpeting, etc.) the platform must be completely lowered to allow the PHP bars to DISENGAGE (retract), allowing sufficient clearance of the machine’s base frame.

SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 MACHINE DESCRIPTION

The JLG VPSP model lifts are an electric self-propelled machine, with an aerial work 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 or cables. Hydraulic pressure is supplied to the lift cylinder by an electrically powered hydraulic pump. All VP Series models feature a steel base frame with swivel caster wheels mounted on the front and fixed drive wheels on the rear of the machine. The personnel lift’s intended purpose is to provide personnel access to areas above ground level.

The JLG VPSP lift has a primary controller in the platform. From the platform control the operator can drive the unit and raise or lower the platform. Ground controls are also provided, these controls consist of a keyed power on/off/ grnd switch, an emergency stop button, an emergency/ manual decent valve and a platform up/down control switch.

Instructions and warnings are posted adjacent to both platform and ground 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 be reviewed periodically.

The JLG VP 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, ANSI Responsibilities Manual and by obeying all job site and government rules and regulations. As with any type of machine, the operator is very important to efficient and safe operation. It is absolutely necessary that the JLG VP 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 its owner, the job site supervisor, or safety manager and that the machine be taken out of service until all discrepancies are corrected.

The JLG VPSP personnel lift is not intended to be used to lift material other than hand-picked stock or supplies. Supplies or tools which extend outside the platform are prohibited except for JLG approved receptacles. The personnel lift must not be used as a forklift, crane, or support for overhead structure.

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

4.2 GENERAL

This section provides the necessary information needed to operate the machine. Included in this section are procedures for driving the machine, raising, lowering and loading the platform, and also transporting the machine. 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 performed, do so before starting set-up and operation. The operator must also be familiar with all lift controls as described in Section 3 - "User/Operator Responsibilities and Machine Controls".

4.4 TRANSPORTING, LIFTING AND TIE DOWN PROCEDURES

General

All VP Series 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 (see

machine weights in the following sub-section “Fork-lift Tru ck Tr ansport ”).

• Moved with a fork-lift truck using the fork-lift pockets in the base frame.

TOW THE MACHINE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 2 MPH. ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THE MACHINES BRAKES ARE DISENGAGED AND THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON IS SET TO THE OFF POSITION, WHEN PUSHING, WINCHING OR TOWING.

Driving to Work Area

The VPSP machines are capable of being driven to a work area, if the surrounding travel surface permits. Follow the driving and safety instructions as noted in this Section 4-

3., Machine Operation - Driving.

Truck Transport

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. Always winch (pull) from the mast (rear) end of the machine, using the rear tie-down bar located in the base frame (See Figure 4-2.).

IMPORTANT

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE MACHINE ONTO, OFF OF, OR PUSH MACHINE ONTO A TILTED ROLL-BACK TRUCK BED.

WHEN TOWING OR WINCHING, THE MACHINE’S BRAKES MUST BE DISENGAGED (SEE SECTION 3-4. CONTROLS AND INDICA- TOR, SUB-SECTION “BRAKE RELEASE CONTROL”), AND THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON SET TO THE OFF POSITION, (DEPRESSED).

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOW OR WINCH THE MACHINE AT A SPEED GREATER THAN (2) MPH, OR DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO THE MACHINES ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER BOX, (DUE TO

HIGH VOLTAGE BEING GENERATED BY THE DRIVE MOTORS FEEDING BACK INTO THE CONTROLLER BOX).

RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES ONCE MACHINE IS IN PLACE WITH TRUCK BED LEVEL AND READY FOR TIE DOWN.

TIE DOWN BARS 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.

THE VP SERIES CONTROLLER COULD SUSTAIN SERIOUS DAMAGE WHEN THE UNIT IS PUSHED, OR TOWED WHILE NOT UNDER POWER, FOR EXAMPLE PUSHING OR TOWING WITH OTHER MACHINERY, AT SPEEDS OF 4 MPH. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUSH OR

USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN SECURING MACHINE (DRIVE WHEEL LOAD), CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINES DRIVE

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

COMPONENTS, I.E. AXLES, AXLE BEARINGS, TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH, OR DRIVE GEARS.

1. Secure machine with an adequate chain attached through the tie down bars at the front and back of machine. (See Figure 4-2.)

2. The chain should be securely tightened with a force of approximately 100 lb. applied two feet from the pivot handle. (i.e.. the chain is properly tightened

when a 200 lb. load placed on the chain (a 200 lb. man standing on the chain), just flexes the chain).

Fork-lift Truck Transport

IMPORTANT

ALWAYS RELEASE THE DRIVE MOTOR BRAKES AND SET THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION, (DEPRESSED) ON THE MACHINE WHEN MANUALLY PUSHING, PULLING, OR WHEN TRANSPORTING MACHINE BY FORK-LIFT TRUCK. THIS WILL ALLOW THE DRIVE MOTORS AND GEARS TO ROTATE WITH LEAST RESISTANCE SHOULD THE DRIVE WHEELS COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE. IF CONTACT OF THE REAR DRIVE WHEELS DOES OCCUR WHILE FORKLIFT TRUCKING, AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 2 MPH, DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO THE MACHINES ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER BOX, (DUE TO HIGH VOLTAGE BEING GENER-

ATED BY THE DRIVE MOTORS FEEDING BACK INTO THE CONTROLLER BOX).

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM BEFORE MACHINE OPERATION.

As standard equipment, all VPSP model lifts are equipped with 7-1/2 in. wide fork-lift pockets running through the base frame. This allows the machine to be either transported around a work area or lifted onto a higher level using a standard fork-lift truck.

SECTION 5 - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

SECTION 5. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

5.1 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

The VPSP Series models are available with the following optional equipment:

Lifting Hook

The optional lifting hook is mounted at the top rear of the first mast section. The hook is used to lift the machine up or down to another level.

Horn

The horn is activated by the horn pad on the platform controller box. It can be used at the descretion of the operator to alert other personnel to the presence of the machine.

Obstruction Sensing System

The Obstruction Sensing System (OSS) is designed to detect the presence of obstructions directly under the platform which are present in it’s detection zone. The OSS is intended as a supplemental system. It remains the operator's responsibility to watch for obstructions under and around the machine at all times. See Section 5.2, Obstruction Sensing System (OSS) for complete detailed description.

Rug Carrier Accessory

The Rug Carrier Accessory consists of two pivoting arms mounted to the 15VPSP platform left side rails. The pivoting arms are locked in the plane of the platform side rail when not in use (the stowed position). The arms are locked into position at approximately 90 degrees to the left side platform side rails when in use (the carry posi- tion). The pivoting arms’ position can be changed by lift- ing each arm to release the lock, rotating the arm, and lowering each arm back into a locked position.

NOTE: The Rug Carrier accessory is available only on the

JLG model 15VPSP and not authorized for use with any other JLG lift. The Rug Carrier Accessory is intended for use in hanging and removal of rugs in hanging display racks only. Use for any other purpose is not authorized by JLG.

See Section 5.3, Rug Carrier Accessory for complete detailed description and operation.

Programmable Security Lock (Keyless)

This keyless PSLtm Programmable Security Lock switch features a numbered keypad where a four (4) digit code must be entered before machine operation can begin. This allows controlled access to a machine so only those persons with the Operator’s Code can power a machine up and operate it.

See Section 5.4, Progammable Security Lock (PSL™) for complete detailed description and operation.

3120796 – JLG Lift – 5-1

SECTION 5 - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

5.2 OBSTRUCTION SENSING SYSTEM (OSS)

System Description

The Obstruction Sensing System (OSS) is designed to detect the presence of obstructions under the platform which are present in the detection zone. The system consists of a central electronics module connected to six ultrasonic transducer sensor arrays located on the underside of the platform. The transducer sensors transmit ultrasonic sound beneath the platform and detect the presence of obstructions under the platform which are within a defined detection zone. If an obstruction is present in the detection zone, the OSS will stop the lowering of the platform until the obstruction is removed. The OSS system does not affect ground control functions.

FRONT OF

PLATFORM

Operation

When power is applied to the OSS, the red LED on the electronics module will illuminate. If no obstructions are located within the detection zone beneath the platform, the lift will operate normally.

If an obstruction is detected within the detection zone beneath the platform, the platform will;

• Stop Lowering

• The 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 once and continue normal operation. Should the OSS falsely detect an obstruction, the system can be overridden by pressing and holding the horn button while operating the lift/lowering controls. (See Figure 5-2.)

ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THE AREA UNDER THE PLATFORM IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LOWERING THE PLATFORM.

Daily Inspection

(See Figure 5-3.)

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 one of the transducer sensor arrays, the 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 all transducer sensor arrays by placing an object sequentially under each sensor array (within approximately 6"-12") and checking if the 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.

NOTE: If the OSS malfunctions or operates improperly, con-

SECTION 6 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

SECTION 6. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

This section provides information on procedures to be followed, and systems and controls to be used in the event an emergency situation is encountered during machine operation. Prior to operation of the machine and periodically thereafter, the entire operating manual, including this section, should be reviewed by all personnel whose responsibilities include any work or contact with the machine.

6.2 EMERGENCY CONTROLS AND THEIR LOCATION

CHECK MACHINE DAILY TO MAKE SURE EMERGENCY STOP SWITCHES ARE IN PLACE AND OPERATIONAL. AND THAT APPLICABLE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN PLACE AND LEGIBLE.

Platform Emergency Stop Switch

This (RED) button is located on the platform joystick controller box and, when depressed, will immediately stop the machine from the platform.

Ground Emergency Stop Switch

The ground emergency stop switch (RED) button is located inside the rear cover (upper access hole) beside the power ON/OFF/GRND key switch. When depressed, it will immediately stop the machine.

Manual Descent Knob

The manual descent knob is used in the event of either a total power failure, or if the operator in the platform cannot lower the platform himself. The manual descent knob (RED knurled) is located on the electric/hydraulic pumpmotor unit inside the rear cover (lower access hole, just above the hydraulic reservoir). To lower the platform, turn the manual descent knob counterclockwise opening the valve. Turn the knob clockwise to stop descent or to close the valve. (The platform will be lowered, unpowered, using gravity.)

6.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION

Use of Ground Controls

IMPORTANT

KNOW HOW TO USE THE GROUND CONTROLS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

BEFORE TOUCHING ANY PART OF THE MACHINE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, FIRST DETERMINE IF MACHINE IS IN CONTACT WITH OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AN ELECTRICALLY CHARGED CONDUCTOR. THIS MACHINE DOES NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM CONTACT WITH OR PROXIMITY TO AN ELECTRICALLY CHARGED CONDUCTOR. (SEE ELECTROCUTION HAZARD, SECTION 1-3.)

Ground personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the machine operating characteristics and the ground control functions (see Section 3-4. “Controls and Indicators”). Training should include operation of the machine, review and understanding of this section and hands-on operation of the controls in simulated emergencies.

Operator Unable to Control Machine

IMPORTANT

IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE FOR ANY REASON, USE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AS A GUIDELINE.

1. Operate the machine from the ground controls ONLY with the assistance of other personnel and equipment (cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be required to safely remove the danger or emergency condition.

2. DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY.

3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may be available are to be used to help remove the platform occupant and stabilize motion of the machine in case machine controls are inoperable or platform cannot be lowered with the emergency/manual decent valve.

SECTION 6 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Platform Caught Overhead

If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead structures or equipment, do not continue operation of the machine from either the platform or the ground until the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a secure location. Only then should an attempt be made to free the platform using any necessary equipment and personnel. Do not attempt to move machine unless a crane, forklift or other suitable equipment is available to support machine.

Post-Incident Inspection

Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine and test all functions. Do not lift platform above 10 feet (3 meters) until you are sure that all damage has been repaired and that all controls and machine components are operating correctly.
