Platform Foot Control Switch
This is a dual footswitch operated control that is mounted on the
floor of the platform. These switches in conjunction with the
function enable switch (GREEN) on the platform control panel,
allows control of the UP (raising) and Down (lowering) of the
platform.
Tube Carrier (PVC)
These carriers are mounted to the right side of the mast assembly, just behind the platform rail. They are approximately 3.5 in
in diameter and are approx. 45 inches in length and allow for
storage of materials that may be required while working in the
platform.
18 Ft. Height Limiter - (19BD ONLY - OPTION)
The platform limiter switch when installed on the 19BD model
lift, limits the platform to a maximum height of 18 ft. This can be
useful when platform height must be limited due to ceiling
height, or a specific work height is required.
Platform Gate Interlock - (OPTION)
If equipped, the optional platform gate interlock will prevent the platform lift function from operating with either
gate open.
NOTE: To verify if the machine is equipped with the optional gate
interlocks, look for a wire harness to exit the platform midrail through a small hole in the midrail near the mast
header.

+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 10W-30 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.

(See Table 7-1)HO - Hydraulic Oil
Notes: a. Be certain to lubricate like items on each side of the machine.
b. Recommended lubricating intervals are calculated on hourmeter hours (Hm.Hrs.= pump run cycle - lift up - only).
Recommended lubricating intervals are based on normal use. If machine is subjected to severe operating conditions, such as a high
number of cycles, location, corrosive/dirty environment, etc., user must adjust lubricating requirements accordingly.
c. Prior to checking hydraulic oil level, operate machine through one complete cycle of lift function (full up and down). Ensure platform is
fully lowered, failure to do so will result in incorrect oil level reading on the hydraulic reser voir.
