SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 DESCRIPTION

This machine is a self-propelled aerial work platform on

top of an elevating ‘scissor’ mechanism. The Scissor 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.

The JLG Scissor Lift has a primary operator Control Sta­tion in the platform. From this Co ntrol Station, the operator
can drive and steer the machine in both forward and
reverse directions, raise and lower the platform and, if
equipped, operate the powered deck e xtension. The
machine has a Ground Control Station which will 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.

Instructions and haza rd warnings are pos ted adjacent to
both operator control stat ions and at other place s on the
machine. It is extremely important that operators know
what instructions and warnings are placed on the
machine, and review these periodical ly so that they are
fresh in their minds.

The JLG Scissor Lift is designed to provide efficient and
safe operation when maintained and operated in accor­dance with war nings on the mach ine, the Opera ting a nd
Safety Manual, the Service and Maintenance Manual and
all jobsite and government rules and regu lations. 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 and the machine Service and Maintenance
Manual, and that any evidence of lack of maintenance,
malfunction, excessive wear, damage or modification to
the machine be reported immediately to the machine
owner or the jo bsi te sup ervis or or safe ty man ag er and that
the machine be taken out of service until all discrepancies
are corrected.

The JLG Scissor Lift is not intended to be used to lift mate­rial other than supplies which pe rsonnel in t he platform
require to do their job. Supplies or tools which extend out­side the platform are prohibited. It must not be used as a
forklift, crane, support for overhead structure, or to push
or pull another object.

The JLG Scissor Lift is powered using hydraulic motors
and cylinders for the various machine motions. The
hydraulic components are controlled by electrically acti­vated hydraulic valves using switches and contr ol levers.
The speeds of functions controlled by control levers are
variable from zero to maximum speed, depending upon
the position of the control lever. Functions controlled by

toggle or push-button switches a re either on or off. In
some instanc es, a func tio n sw itch can b e u sed i n conj unc­tion with the controller to give the machine a higher func­tion speed range.

The JLG Scissor Lift is a two wheel drive machine with
drive power being supplied to the rear wheels by a pump­driven drive axle. The rear wheels are supplied with a
hydraulic disc brake. This brake is automatically applied
any time the Drive controller is returned to the neutral
position.

The platform capacity of the scissor lift is 454 kg (1,000
lb.). The weight in the plat form sh ould b e un iform ly di str ib­uted in the cent er of the p latform. T he total combined
weight of personnel, tools and supplies must not exceed
the above figures.

The platform may be raised only when positioned on firm,
level and uniform surfaces.

4.2 GENERAL

This section provides the necessary information needed
to operate the machine. Included in this section are the
procedures for starting, stopping, traveling, steering, park­ing, platform loading and transporting the machine. It is
important that the user read and understand the proper
procedures before operating the machine.

4.3 ENGINE OPERATION

Power Selector Switch

The power selector switch functions to direct electrical
power to the desired control station. With the switch in the
