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.
IF THE PLATFORM DOES NOT STOP WHEN A CONTROL SWITCH OR LEVER IS
RELEASED, USE THE EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH TO STOP THE MACHINE.

NOTE:Check the hydraulic oil level with the platform in the stowed
position ONLY. Be certain the hydraulic oil has warmed to operating temperature before checking the oil level in the reservoir.
1. On the left side of the machine, remove the side access
door on the base frame. Locate the hydraulic oil reservoir
(1) on the pump unit (2). Check the oil level in the hydraulic
reservoir by looking at the markings on the side. The reservoir is marked with a MAX (maximum) marking (3). The oil
level must be kept at or within one (1) inch of this marking to
operate properly.
2. If additional oil is required, wipe all dirt and debris from the
filler/breather cap (4) area, add proper grade of oil. Fill until
oil level is close to the MAX marking (3), but not over the
MAX marking.
NOTE: Care should be taken not to introduce any impurities (dirt, water,
etc.) while cap is removed.
Figure 5-1. Hydraulic Oil Check Procedure - All Machines
NOTE:Recommended lubricating intervals are based on machine oper-
ations under normal conditions. For machines used in multi-shift
operations and/or exposed to hostile environments or conditions, lubrication frequencies must be increased accordingly.

Battery Maintenance and Safety Practices
NOTE:These instructions are for unsealed (wet) batteries only.
if machine is equipped with sealed batteries, no maintenance
other than cleaning corroded battery terminals is required.
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 5-2.).
• 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.

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
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. 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. Fol-
lowing 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. Check torque every
3 months or 150 hours of operation.

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.
