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 panels that use symbols

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 o perat­ing 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.

1. Drive Speed/Torque Select

The machine has a two position
switch - The forward position
gives maximum drive speed. The
back position gives maximum
torque for rough terrain and
climbing grades.

3-12 – JLG Lift – 3121615

2. Steer Select (If Equipped)

SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

When equipped with four wheel steering, the
action of the steering system is operator
selectable. The center switch position gives
conventional front wheel steering with the rear wheels unaf­fected. This is for normal driving at maximum speeds. The
forward position is for “crab” steering. When in this mode
both front and rear axles steer in the same direction, which
allows the chassis to move sideways as it goes forward. This
can be used for positioning the machine in aisle ways or
against buildings. The back switch position is for “coordi­nated” steering. In this mode the front and rear axles steer in
the opposite directions to produce the tightest turning cir­cle for maneuvering in confined areas.

To re-synchronize the front and rear axles, position the rear
drive wheels to the forward drive position by selecting
either crab or compound steer, then select front steer (cen­ter switch position) to operate the normal steering function.

ONLY USE THE PLATFORM LEVELING OVERRIDE FUNCTION FOR SLIGHT LEVELING OF
THE PLATFORM. INCORRECT USE COULD CAUSE THE LOAD/OCCUPANTS TO SHIFT OR
FALL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

3. Platform Leveling Override

A three position switch allows the operator to
adjust the automatic self leveling system. This
switch is used to adjust platform level in situa­tions such as ascending/descending a grade.

The machine can be equipped with one of three options. It
may have Soft Touch, SkyGuard, or both Soft Touch and Sky­Guard.

3-16 – JLG Lift – 3121615

If equipped with Soft Touch, the switch
enables the functions that were cut out
by the Soft Touch system to operate
again at creep speed, allowing the
operator to move the platform away from the obstacle that
caused the shutdown situation.

If equipped with SkyGuard, the switch
enables functions cut out by the Sky­guard system to be operated again,
allowing the operator to resume use of
machine functions.

If equipped with both Soft Touch and
SkyGuard, the switch operates like
described above and allows the opera­tor to override the system that has
experienced a cutout situation.

14. Towe r Teles cop e

This switch provides for extending and retract­ing of the tower boom when positioned to in
or out. Tower Telescope must be fully retracted
before operating Tower Lift. (Tower Telescope should not
function when Tower Lift is not fully elevated “up”).

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 station is in the platform. From this
control station, the operator can drive and steer the machine in
both forward and reverse directions. The operator can raise or
lower the main or tower boom or swing the boom to the left or
right. Standard boom swing is 360 degree continuous left and
right of the stowed position. The machine has a Ground Control
Station which will override the Platform Control Station. Ground
Controls operate Boom Lift and Swing, 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.

4.2 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS

Capacities

The boom can be raised above horizontal with or without any
load in platform, if:

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

2. Load is within manufacturer’s rated capacity.

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

7. Push the Engine Start switch until engine starts.

NOTE: Footswitch must be in released (up) position before starter will

operate. If starter operates with footswitch in the depressed posi­tion, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE.

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

NOTE: Reference the Service and Maintenance Manual along with a

qualified JLG Mechanic to verify your machine setup.

The Fuel Shutoff System monitors the fuel in the tank and senses
when the fuel level is getting low. The JLG Control System auto­matically shuts the engine down before the fuel tank is emptied
unless the machine is set up for Engine Restart.

If fuel level reaches the Empty range, the Low Fuel
light will begin to flash once a second and there will
be approximately 60 minutes of engine run time
left. If the system is in this condition and automati­cally shuts down the engine or if the operator man­ually shuts down the engine before the 60 minute run time is
complete, the Low Fuel light will flash 10 times a second and the
engine will react according to machine setup. Setup options are
as follows:

• Engine One Restart - When the engine shuts down, the
operator will be permitted to cycle power and restart the
engine once with approximately 2 minutes of run time.
After the 2 minute run time is complete or if the engine is
shut down by the operator prior to the completion of the 2
minute run time, it cannot be restarted until fuel is added
to the tank.

3121615 – JLG Lift – 4-5

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

• Engine Restart - When the engine shuts down, the opera­tor will be permitted to cycle power and restart the engine
for approximately 2 minutes of run time. After the 2 min­utes of run time is complete, the operator may cycle power
and restart the engine for an additional 2 minutes of run
time. The operator can repeat this process until there is no
more fuel available.

CONTACT A QUALIFIED JLG MECHANIC IF THE MACHINE NEEDS RESTARTED AFTER NO
MORE FUEL IS AVAILABLE.

• Engine Stop - When the engine shuts down, no restarts
will be permitted until fuel is added to the tank.

4.4 TRAVELING (DRIVING)

See Figure 4-3., Grade and Sideslope

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.

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

Traveling Forward and Reverse

DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOOM ABOVE HORIZONTAL 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 ON THE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE.

BE SURE THE TURNTABLE LOCK IS ENGAGED BEFORE ANY EXTENDED TRAVELING.

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, MAKE SURE BOOM IS POSITIONED OVER REAR DRIVE AXLE. IF
BOOM IS OVER FRONT WHEELS, STEER AND DRIVE CONTROLS WILL BE REVERSED.

1. At Platform Controls, pull out Emergency Stop
switch and activate footswitch.

2. Position Drive controller to FORWARD or
REVERSE as desired.

This machine is equipped with a Drive Orientation Indicator. The
yellow light on the platform control console indicates that the
boom is swung beyond the rear drive tires and the machine may
Drive/Steer in the opposite direction from the movement of the
controls. If the indicator is illuminated, operate the Drive function
in the following manner:

4-8 – JLG Lift – 3121615

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

Figure 4-4. Traveling on a Grade

1. Match the black and

white direction arrows
on both platform con­trol panel and the chas­sis to determine the
direction the machine
will travel.

2. Push and release the Drive Orientation Over­ride switch. Within 3 seconds, slowly move the
Drive control toward the arrow matching the
intended direction of machine travel. The indi­cator light will flash during the 3 second inter­val until the drive function is selected.

Traveling on a Grade

When traveling a grade, maximum braking and traction are obtained
with the boom stowed, in position over the rear (drive) axle, and in
line with the direction of travel. Drive the machine forward when
climbing a grade, and in reverse when descending a grade. Do not
exceed the machine's maximum rated gradability.

IF THE BOOM IS OVER THE FRONT (STEER) AXLE, DIRECTION OF STEER AND DRIVE
MOVEMENT WILL BE OPPOSITE FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE CONTROLS.

4.5 STEERING

Position thumb switch on Drive/Steer controller to
Right for steering right, or to Left for steering left.

4.6 PLATFORM

Platform Level Adjustment

ONLY USE THE PLATFORM LEVELING OVERRIDE FUNCTION FOR SLIGHT LEVELING OF
THE PLATFORM. INCORRECT USE COULD CAUSE THE LOAD/OCCUPANTS TO SHIFT OR
FALL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

To Level Up or Down - Position the Platform/Level
control switch Up or Down and hold until the plat­form is level.

Platform Rotation

To rotate the platform to the left or right, use the
Platform Rotate control switch to select the direc­tion and hold until desired position is reached.

4.7 BOOM

DO NOT SWING OR RAISE BOOM ABOVE HORIZONTAL WHEN MACHINE IS OUT OF LEVEL.

DO NOT DEPEND ON TILT ALARM AS A LEVEL INDICATOR FOR THE CHASSIS.

TO AVOID TIP OVER, LOWER PLATFORM TO GROUND LEVEL. THEN DRIVE MACHINE TO A
LEVEL SURFACE BEFORE RAISING BOOM.

TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF ANY CONTROL LEVER OR TOG­GLE SWITCH CONTROLLING PLATFORM MOVEMENT DOES NOT RETURN TO THE ‘OFF’ OR
NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN RELEASED.

IF THE PLATFORM DOES NOT STOP WHEN A CONTROL SWITCH OR LEVER IS RELEASED,

ated there is an interlock that prevents the use of Drive and Steer
functions.

Raising and Lowering the Tower Boom

This machine has two controls for the tower boom (two toggle
switches), one controls tower lift, the other tower telescope. The
switching system will sequence its Lift and Telescope functions as
follows:

1. Sequence while raising the Tower Boom from the fully low­ered position.

a. The Tower Boom must be fully elevated “up”

(approximately 13 degrees from vertical)
before the Tower Boom can be extended
from the fully retracted position.

b. The Tower Telescope “out” or “in” will only

be operable when the Tower Boom is fully
elevated “up”.

2. Sequence while lowering the Tower Boom from the fully ele­vated “up” position.

a. Operate Tower Telescope “in” until Tower

Boom is fully retracted. (Tower must not lift
“down until boom is telescoped ”in” or “up”
fully.
