3.1 GENERAL

THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER MACHINE APPLICATION AND
OPERATION. THE USER AND OPERATOR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING WITH
GOOD SAFETY PRACTICES.

This section provides the necessary information needed to
understand control functions.

3.2 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

NOTE: All machines are equipped with control consoles that use sym-

bols to indicate control functions. On ANSI machines refer to
decal located on the control box guard in front of the control box
or by the ground controls for these symbols and the correspond­ing functions.

NOTE: The indicator panels use different shaped symbols to alert the

operator to different types of operational situations that could
arise. The meaning of those symbols are explained below.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if
not corrected, could result in serious injury or death.
This indicator will be red.

Indicates an abnormal operating condition, which if
not corrected, may result in machine interruption or
damage. This indicator will be yellow.

Indicates important information regarding the oper­ating condition, i.e. procedures essential for safe oper­ation. This indicator will be green with the exception of
the capacity indicator which will be green or yellow
depending upon platform position.

SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 DESCRIPTION

This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic personnel lift equipped
with a work platform on the end of an elevating and rotating
boom.

The primary operator control console is in the platform. From this
control console, the operator can drive and steer the machine in
both forward and reverse directions. The operator can raise or
lower the boom or swing the boom to the left or right. Standard
boom swing is 360 degree continuous. The machine has a
Ground Control Console which will override the Platform Control
Console. Ground Controls operate all functions except drive and
steer and are to be used in an emergency to lower the platform to
the ground should the operator in the platform be unable to do
so.

3121670 – JLG Lift – 4-1

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

4.2 BOOM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS

Capacities

Raising boom above horizontal with or without any load in plat­form, is based on the following criteria:

1. Machine is positioned on a smooth, firm and level surface.

2. Load is within manufacturers rated design capacity.

3. All machine systems are functioning properly.

4. Machine is as originally equipped from JLG.

Stability

Machine stability is based on two (2) conditions which are called
FORWARD and BACKWARD stability. The machine’s position of
least FORWARD stability is shown in Figure 4-1., and its position
of least BACKWARD stability is shown in Figure 4-2.

TO AVOID FORWARD OR BACKWARD TIPPING, DO NOT OVERLOAD MACHINE OR OPER­ATE THE MACHINE ON AN OUT-OF-LEVEL SURFACE.

4.3 ENGINE OPERATION

NOTE: Initial starting should always be per-

formed from the Ground Control con­sole.

Starting Procedure

IF ENGINE FAILS TO START PROMPTLY, DO NOT CRANK FOR AN EXTENDED TIME.
SHOULD ENGINE FAIL TO START AGAIN, ALLOW STARTER TO “COOL OFF” FOR 2-3 MIN­UTES. IF ENGINE FAILS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, REFER TO ENGINE MAINTENANCE
MANUAL.

NOTE: Diesel engines only: After turning on ignition,

operator must wait until glow plug indicator light
goes out before cranking engine.

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

Shutdown Procedure

IF AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION CAUSES AN UNSCHEDULED SHUTDOWN, DETERMINE
THE CAUSE AND CORRECT IT BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE.

1. Remove all load and allow engine to operate at low speed
for 3-5 minutes; this allows further reduction of internal
engine temperature.

2. Push Power/Emergency Stop switch in.

3. Turn Platform/Ground Select switch to Off.

Refer to Engine Manufacturer’s manual for detailed
information.

Fuel Reserve / Shut-Off System (Diesel Engines Only)

The Fuel Shutoff System senses when the fuel level is getting low
and automatically shuts the engine down before the fuel tank is
emptied.

Depending upon machine setup, the machine will either keep
the engine shut down until the fuel tank is refilled or the operator
will be able to restart and run the engine for an additional min­ute. After 1 minute, the engine will shut off for a second time and
the machine will return to the engine shutdown mode until the
fuel tank is refilled.

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

See Figure 4-3., Grade and Side Slopes

NOTE: Refer to the Operating Specifications table for Gradeability and

Sideslope ratings.

All ratings for Gradeability and Sideslope are based upon the
machine’s boom being in the stowed position, fully lowered, and
retracted.

Traveling is limited by two factors:

1. Gradeability, which is the percent of grade of the incline the
machine can climb.

2. Sideslope, which is the angle of the slope the machine can
be driven across.

DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOOM OUT OF TRANSPORT MODE EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM
AND LEVEL SURFACE.

TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR “TIP OVER”, DO NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON
GRADES EXCEEDING THOSE SPECIFIED IN THE OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS SECTION
OF THIS MANUAL.

DO NOT DRIVE ON SIDESLOPES WHICH EXCEED 5 DEGREES.

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE AND AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE
PLATFORM IS ELEVATED.

BEFORE DRIVING, LOCATE THE BLACK/WHITE ORIENTATION ARROWS ON BOTH THE
CHASSIS AND THE PLATFORM CONTROLS. MOVE THE DRIVE CONTROLS IN A DIREC­TION MATCHING THE DIRECTIONAL ARROWS FOR THE INTENDED DIRECTION OF
TRAVEL

Failure to notify the manufacturer of an incident involving a JLG
Industries product within 48 hours of such an occurrence may
void any warranty consideration on that particular machine.

FOLLOWING ANY INCIDENT, THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE MACHINE AND TEST ALL
FUNCTIONS FIRST FROM THE GROUND CONTROLS, THEN FROM THE PLATFORM CON­TROLS. DO NOT LIFT ABOVE 3 M (10 FT.) UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THAT ALL DAMAGE HAS
BEEN REPAIRED, IF REQUIRED, AND THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE OPERATING COR­RECTLY.

5.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION

Operator Unable to Control Machine

IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR UNABLE TO
OPERATE OR CONTROL MACHINE:

1. Other personnel should operate the machine from ground
controls only as required.

2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use the plat­form controls. DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS
DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment can be used to sta­bilize motion of the machine.

SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

5.5 MACHINE SAFETY SYSTEM OVERRIDE (MSSO)(CE ONLY)

The Machine Safety System Override (MSSO) is
only to be used to retrieve an operator that is
pinned, trapped, or unable to operate the
machine. The MSSO will override function con­trols that are locked out from the platform and
ground consoles. An example of this would be in the case of Load
Sense System activation.

NOTE: If the MSSO functionality is used, the fault indicator will flash

and a fault code is set in the JLG Control System which must be
reset by a qualified JLG Service Technician.

NOTE: No functional checks of the MSSO system are necessary. The JLG

Control system will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code if the control
switch is faulty.

To operate the MSSO:

1. From the ground control console, place the Platform/
Ground Select switch in the Ground position.

2. Pull out the Power/Emergency Stop control.

3. Start the engine or MSSO will function through the Auxiliary

Power system.

4. Press and hold the MSSO switch and the control switch for
the desired function.
