3.2DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled aerial work platform on top of
an elevating scissor arm mechanism. The Lift’s intended purpose is to position personnel with their tools and supplies at
positions above ground level. The machine can be used to reach
work areas located above machinery or equipment positioned
at ground level.
This JLG Lift has a primary operator control station in the platform. From this control station, the operator can drive and steer
the machine in both forward and reverse directions, raise and
lower the platform.
The machine can be driven on a smooth, firm, and level surface
from an elevated platform position - Reference “Steering And
Traveling” on page 3-12. of this manual for specific requirements.
The machine also has a ground control station which can override the platform control station. Ground controls operate lift up
and down. Ground controls are to be used only in an emergency
to lower the platform to the ground should the operator in the
platform be unable to do so.

3.14 MACHINE LIFTING AND TIE DOWN
Lifting
The machine may be lifted using a fork lift truck. Lift only from
the rear of the machine and only with the platform in the
stowed position. Adjust the width of the forklift truck, liftingtines (1) to properly fit the machine, see Figure 3-17.
The machine can also be lifted using a spreader bar and four
equal length straps or chains capable of supporting the full
gross weight of the machine, see Figure 3-18. Lift only using the
lifting lugs provided at the four corners of the machine. (See Sec-tion 5 for machine gross weight).
Tie Down
When transporting the machine, the platform must be fully lowered in the stowed position with the machine securely tied
down to the truck or trailer deck. There are two tie-down/lift
lugs located at the front and rear of the machine. (See Figure 3-
19.)

5.7TIRES AND WHEELS
Tire Wear and Damage
The tire and rim assemblies installed on RS machines have been
approved by the tire manufacturer for applications in which
those products are intended to be used. The tire and rims
installed on each product model have been designed for stability requirements, which consist of track width, tire compound,
and load capacity. Tire changes such as rim width, centerpiece
location, larger or smaller diameter, tire compound, etc., without written manufacturers approval, could result in an unsafe
condition regarding stability.
The tires and rims installed on RS machines are to be inspected
daily as part of the daily walk-around inspection. JLG requires
that the daily walk-around inspection be performed at each
operator change during a shift and at each shift change.
Wheel and Tire Replacement
JLG recommends that any replacement tire be the same size
and brand as originally installed on the machine or offered by
JLG as an approved replacement. Please refer to the JLG Parts
Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a particular machine model.
If any of the following is discovered during tire inspection,
measures must be taken to remove the JLG product from service immediately. Arrangements must be made for replacement of the tire(s) or tire assembly(s). Both tires/wheels on the
same axle must be replaced:
• If the overall diameter of the tire is less than one of the following:
100 x 323 Tire – 12.25 in. (311mm) minimum
127 x 406 Tire – 15.50 in. (394mm) minimum
• If any uneven wear is discovered.
A tire with significant damage in the tread area or sidewall
requires immediate evaluation before placing the machine
into service. If a cut, tear, chunk, or other discrepancy
exceeds any one or more of the following dimensions, the
tire must be replaced:
3.0 in. (76 mm) long
0.75 in. (19 mm) wide
0.75 in. (19 mm) deep
• If the metal wheel is visible at any point through the tread
area of the tire.
• If more than one discrepancy exists in any quadrant of the
wheel (within 90 degrees of one another).

Wheel Installation
Check torque every 3 months or 150 hours of operation.
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.
Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque to prevent wheels
from coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners. Over-tightening will result in breaking the lug nuts or permanently deforming the mounting holes in the wheel. The
proper procedure for attaching wheels is as follows:
1. Start all lug nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Figure 5-3. Wheel Lug Nut Tightening Sequence
5 LUG WHEEL 6 LUG WHEEL
DO NOT use a lubricant on threads or nuts.
2. Tighten lug nuts in the following sequence. (See Figure
5-3.)
3. The tightening of the lug nuts should be done in
stages. Following the recommended sequence,
tighten lug nuts per wheel torque.
4. Wheel lug nuts should be torqued after the first 50
hours of operation and after each wheel removal.

5.9DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC)
The DTC tables following are sorted in groups by the first two
digits, these digits represent the number of flashes the system
distress indicator lamp will flash on the platform indicator panel
when a fault occurs.
For example: a “2-1 Power-Up” on page 19 would be indicated
by 2 flashes, a pause, then 1 flash, a pause, then would keep
repeating until the fault is cleared.
The more detailed three digit code numbers in the DTC column
of the following tables are only indicated on a JLG handheld
diagnostic analyzer.
To troubleshoot multiple DTCs, start with the DTC with the
higher first two digits. If a correction is made during a check,
conclude the check by cycling the machine power off then
back on, using the emergency stop switch.
SHOULD A FAULT OCCUR WHICH CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY THE OPERATOR,
THE PROBLEM MUST BE REFERRED TO A MECHANIC QUALIFIED TO REPAIR
THIS MODEL OF JLG LIFT.
