located above and over machinery or equipment.
The 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. The operator can raise, lower, extend or retract the
boom; swing the boom to the left or right; and when
equipped with a platform rotator, can rotate the platform
around the boom end. Standard boom swing is 360° 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,
telescope and swing and 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.
Instruction and hazard warnings are posted adjacent to
both operator control stations and at other places on the
machine. It is extremely important that operators know
what instructions and warnings are placed on the
machine, and review these periodically so that they are
fresh in their minds. Vibrations emitted by these machines
are not hazardous to an operator in the work platform. The
equivalent continuous A-Weighted sound pressure level at
the work platform is less than 70 dB(A).
The JLG Lift is designed to provide efficient and safe operation when maintained and operated in accordance with
warnings on the machine, in the Operators and Safety
Manual, and all jobsite and government rules and regulations. 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 jobsite supervisor or safety
manager and that the machine be taken out of service
until all discrepancies are corrected.
The JLG Lift is not intended to be used to lift material other
than supplies which personnel in the 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 machine is equipped with an auxiliary battery operated power unit which will provide hydraulic power in the
event of a primary engine power loss. Auxiliary power can
be controlled from either the Platform Control Station or
the Ground Control Station. Follow the instructions placed
at the control stations.
The JLG Lift is hydraulically powered using hydraulic
motors and cylinders for various machine motions. The
hydraulic components are controlled by electrically activated hydraulic valves using switches and control 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 switches are either on or off and higher or lower
speed is possible when the Function Speed control switch
is used in conjunction with the function toggle switch. A
foot operated switch in the platform must be depressed
before any controls will function and provides a means of
emergency stop when the operator’s foot is removed from
the footswitch.
The JLG Lift is a two wheel drive (four wheel drive available) machine with drive power being supplied by a
hydraulic motor for each drive wheel. Each drive wheel is
supplied with a hydraulically released, spring-applied
brake. The swing drive is also equipped with such a
brake. These brakes are automatically applied any time
the Drive or Swing Control lever are returned to the neutral
position.
The unrestricted capacity of the JLG Lift is 230 kg. This
means that with a platform load of 230 kg or less, the platform may be positioned anywhere the boom will reach.

from center in either direction. The rotator is designed to
give added jobsite versatility. The platform should be
returned to the center position for all other operations.
5.2DUAL FUEL SYSTEM (GAS ENGINE
ONLY)
Description
The dual fuel system enables the standard gasoline
engine to run on either gasoline or LP gas. The system
includes pressurized cylinders mounted on the frame, and
the valves and switches needed to switch the fuel supply
from gasoline to LP gas or from LP gas to gasoline.
A two position, FUEL toggle switch at the ground control
station supplies electrical power to open the LP gas shutoff solenoid and close the LP gas shut off solenoid when
positioned to the GASOLINE position. This switch supplies electrical power to open the LP gas shut-off solenoid
and close the gasoline shut-off solenoid when positioned
to the LP position.
Changing From LP Gas to Gasoline.
1. With engine operating on LP under a no-load condition, position DUAL FUEL switch at Ground Control
Station to GASOLINE position.
2. If engine stumbles because of lack of gasoline,
place the switch to LP position until engine regains
smoothness, then return switch to GASOLINE position. Repeat as necessary until engine runs
smoothly on gasoline.
3. Close hand valve on LP gas supply tank by turning
clockwise.
5.3OSCILLATING AXLE
The oscillating front axle is attached to the frame by a
pivot pin which allows all four wheels to remain on the
ground when traveling on rough terrain. The oscillating
axle also incorporates two lockout cylinders connected
between the frame and each wheel end. The lockout cylinders permit axle oscillation when the boom is centered
over the rear, and lock and hold the axle when the boom is
moved off center.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO SWITCH FROM ONE FUEL SOURCE TO THE
OTHER WITHOUT ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO STOP. EXTREME
CARE MUST BE TAKEN AND THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
MUST BE FOLLOWED.
Changing From Gasoline to LP Gas
1. Start engine from Ground Control Station.
2. Open hand valve on LP gas supply tank by turning
counterclockwise.
BE SURE GASOLINE IS EXHAUSTED BEFORE SWITCHING TO LP
GAS. SEE STEP (3) BELOW.
3. While engine is operating, place DUAL FUEL switch
at Ground Control to center OFF position. Allow
engine to operate without load, until engine begins
to stumble from lack of gasoline. As engine begins
to stumble, place the switch to LP position, allowing
LP gas to flow to the fuel regulator.
5.4TOW PACKAGE
The tow package is required when it is necessary to move
the machine without use of the drive and steer system.
TOWING IS PERMITTED ONLY FOR EMERGENCY TRAVEL ON THE

5.16 SOFT TOUCH PROXIMITY SYSTEM
The soft touch system incorporates a lower padded rail,
slightly larger than and encompassing the platform, suspended beneath the platform. A proximity switch is
attached to the center of the rail beneath the platform
floor. The proximity switch is set so that any time the lower
rail comes into contact with an object, electrical power is
cut off to the platform controls, shutting down all functions. To restore machine functions, the operator must
press and hold the PUSH TO OVERRIDE button, located
on the platform control console, and select the proper
function to move the platform clear of the object. In addition to the lower rail, all stationary outside platform rails
are padded.

3. Connect suitable equipment, remove chocks, and
move machine.
4. After moving machine, complete the following procedures:
5. Position machine on a firm and level surface.
6. Chock wheels securely.
7. Engage drive hubs by reversing disconnect caps on
hubs.
8. Remove chocks from wheels as needed.
6.3EMERGENCY CONTROLS AND THEIR
LOCATIONS
Power/Emergency Stop Switches
2. Installed on the Platform Console, this round red
switch is pulled up for normal machine functions. In
an emergency, push the button to the down position
with your palm and machine will immediately stop.
Ground Control Station
The Ground Control Station is located on the right front
side of the turntable. The controls on this panel provide
the means for overriding the platform controls, and for
controlling the platform level, boom and swing functions
from the ground. Place the KEY SELECT switch to
GROUND position and operate the proper switch to lift,
swing, or telescope the boom, or level the platform.
Auxiliary Power
A toggle type auxiliary power control switch is located on
the platform control station and another is located on the
ground control station. Operation of either switch turns on
the electrically driven auxiliary hydraulic pump. This
should be used in case of failure of the main power plant.
The auxiliary pump will operate boom lift, telescope and
swing. To activate auxiliary power:
1. Position PLATFORM/GROUND SELECT KEY
SWITCH to PLATFORM.
2. Position POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch to ON.
3. Depress and hold footswitch.
4. Operate appropriate control switch, lever or controller for desired function and hold.
5. Position AUXILIARY POWER switch to ON and hold.
6. Release AUXILIARY POWER switch, selected control
switch, lever or controller, and footswitch.
7. Position POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch to OFF.
To activate auxiliary power from the ground control station:
1. There is one of these red mushroom shaped
switches at both the Ground Controls and Platform
Controls. When depressed it will immediately stop
the machine.
CHECK MACHINE DAILY TO MAKE SURE EMERGENCY STOP
SWITCH GUARD IS IN PLACE AND THAT GROUND CONTROL
INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN PLACE AND LEGIBLE.
1. Position PLATFORM/GROUND SELECT KEY
SWITCH to GROUND.
2. Position POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch to ON.

SECTION 6 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3. Operate appropriate control switch or controller for
desired function and hold.
4. Position AUXILIARY POWER switch to ON and hold.
5. Release AUXILIARY POWER switch, and appropriate
control switch or controller.
6. Position POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch to OFF.
Manual Descent
The manual descent valves are used, in the event of total
power failure, to retract and lower the boom using gravity.
The manual descent valves are located on the right side of
the turntable (directly below the ground control box). This
system should be used if there is a total power failure
since the valves will permit use of gravity to retract and
lower the boom. The procedures for use of the valves for
descent and retraction are given adjacent to the valves.
6.4EMERGENCY OPERATION
Use of Ground Controls
KNOW HOW TO USE THE GROUND CONTROLS IN AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION.
Ground personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the
machine operating characteristics and the ground control
functions. Training should include operation of the
machine, review and understanding of this section and
hands-on operation of the controls in simulated emergencies.

SECTION 6 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Operator Unable to Control Machine
IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR
UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH PRIMARY POWER SOURCE (ENGINE OR
ELECTRIC MOTOR) IF PERSONS ARE PINNED OR TRAPPED. USE
AUXILIARY POWER INSTEAD.
1. Operate the machine from ground controls ONLY
with the assistance of other personnel and equipment (cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be be
required to safely remove the danger or emergency
condition.
2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use
the platform controls with regular or auxiliary power.
DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS
DO NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY.
3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may
be available are to be used to remove platform
occupants and stabilize motion of the machine in
case machine controls are inadequate or malfunction when used.
6.5INCIDENT NOTIFICATION
It is imperative that JLG Industries, Inc. be notified immediately of any incident involving a JLG product. Even if no
injury or property damage is evident, the factory should
be contacted by telephone and provided with all necessary details.
Contact your local JLG office.
It should be noted that 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.
Platform or Boom Caught Overhead
If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in
overhead structures or equipment, do not continue operation of the machine from either the platform or the ground
until the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a
secure location. Only then should an attempt be made to
free the platform using any necessary equipment and personnel. Do not operate controls to cause one or more
wheels to leave the ground.
Post Incident Inspection and Repair
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 meters until
you are sure that all damage has been repaired, if
required, and that all controls are operating correctly.
