The four likely causes of a system fault are:
a. The seven second enable time has been allowed to
lapse or a function was selected before depressing the
footswitch. The system reads this condition as a fault,
just as it would if the footswitch were jammed in the
depressed position or a function switch were stuck in
the on position. Re-depress the footswitch to power the
controls and extinguish the light.
b. The maximum power limit has been reached and the
machine is not moving. This could happen when the
machine is stuck or when attempting to travel over
rough terrain or on steep grades which exceed the
rated gradeability of the machine. This condition is
comparable to stalling the engine by asking it to provide more power than it was designed to do.
c. The batteries are nearly depleted, and should be
charged very soon to prevent having the machine stop
2. Platform Overload (If equipped)
Indicates the platform has been overloaded.

d. There is some other fault in one of the circuits. Deter-
mine the cause by counting the flash code, a number of
flashes followed by a pause followed by another number of flashes, and refer to the service manual.
When the boom is swung beyond the rear drive tires or fur-
ther in either direction, the Drive Orientation indicator will
illuminate when the drive function is selected. This is a signal
for the operator to verify that the drive control is being operated in the proper direction (i.e. controls reversed situations).
5. Posi-Track Indicator
This indicator lights to show that posi-track is operating.
6. Enable Indicator/Footswitch
To operate any function, the footswitch must be depressed
and the function selected within seven seconds. The enable
indicator shows that the controls are enabled. If a function is
not selected within seven seconds, or if a seven second lapse
between ending one function and beginning the next function, the enable light will go out and the footswitch must be
released and depressed again to enable the controls.
Releasing the footswitch removes power from all controls
and applies the drive brakes.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT REMOVE, MODIFY OR DISABLE THE FOOTSWITCH
BY BLOCKING OR ANY OTHER MEANS.

4.1DESCRIPTION
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 boom or swing the boom to the left or right. Standard
boom swing is 350 degree non-continuous. 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.

Power/Emergency Stop Switch
This red, mushroom-shaped switch provides battery power to the
Platform/Ground Select switch, when pulled out (on), for all
machine functions. The switch should be pushed in (off) when
recharging the batteries or parking the machine overnight.
Platform/Ground Select Switch
The Platform/Ground Select switch functions to direct battery
power to the desired control station when the POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch is pulled out (on). With the switch in the
GROUND position, battery power is supplied to the ground control station. When the switch is in the PLATFORM position, battery
power is supplied to the platform control station.
The key is removable in the platform position on CE machines.
The key must be available to ground personnel in the event of an
emergency.
Motor Activation
FOOTSWITCH MUST BE DEPRESSED PRIOR TO ACTIVATING ANY FUNCTION, OTHERWISE FUNCTION WILL NOT OPERATE.
The motor becomes activated and operates the desired function
when the Emergency Stop switch is pulled out (on), the Platform/
Ground select switch is in the appropriate position and the Footswitch is depressed.

The manual swing override is used to manually swing the boom and
turntable assembly in the event of a total power failure when the
platform is positioned over a structure or obstacle. To operate the
manual swing override, proceed as follows:
1. Using a 7/8 inch socket and ratchet wrench, locate nut on
swing worm gear on left side of machine.
2. Install wrench on nut and ratchet in the direction desired.
5.7MACHINE 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 and function controls are locked out
from the platform due to a platform overload situation.
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.
4. Press and hold the MSSO switch and the control switch for
the desired function.

6.4BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CHARGING
TO AVOID INJURY FROM AN EXPLOSION, DO NOT SMOKE OR ALLOW SPARKS OR A
FLAME NEAR BATTERY DURING SERVICING. ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING BATTERIES.
Battery Maintenance, Quarterly
1. Open battery compartment cover to allow access to battery
terminals and vent caps.
WHEN ADDING WATER TO BATTERIES, ADD WATER UNTIL ELECTROLYTE COVERS
PLATES. DO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES UNLESS ELECTROLYTE COVERS THE PLATES.
NOTE:When adding distilled water to batteries, non-metallic contain-
ers and/or funnels must be used.
To avoid electrolyte overflow, add distilled water to batteries
after charging.
When adding water to the battery, fill only to level indicated or 3/
8" (9.5 mm) above separators.
2. Remove all vent caps and inspect electrolyte level of each
cell. Electrolyte level should be to the ring approximately
one inch from top of battery. Fill batteries with distilled
water only. Replace and secure all vent caps.
3. Remove battery cables from each battery post one at a time,
negative first. Clean cables with acid neutralizing solution
(e.g. baking soda and water or ammonia) and wire brush.
Replace cables and/or cable clamp bolts as required.
4. Clean battery post with wire brush then re-connect cable to
post. Coat non-contact surfaces with mineral grease or
petroleum jelly.
5. When all cables and terminal posts have been cleaned,
ensure all cables are properly positioned and do not get
pinched. Close battery compartment cover.
6. Start hydraulic system and ensure that it functions properly.

SECTION 6 - GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS & OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
Battery Charging, Daily
NOTE:To avoid excessive battery charging time, do not allow batteries
to become completely discharged.
To avoid electrolyte overflow, add distilled water to batteries
after charging.
When adding water to the battery, fill only to level indicated or 3/
8" above separators.
1. Charge batteries at the end of each work day, or when
machine performance is significantly reduced due to batteries becoming discharged.
2. Charge batteries in accordance with the following procedure:
a. Open battery compartment, and battery charger com-
partment covers.
WHEN BATTERY CHARGER IS TO BE USED, CHARGING HARNESS MUST BE PLUGGED
INTO A GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. IF RECEPTACLE IS NOT GROUNDED AND A MALFUNCTION SHOULD OCCUR, THE MACHINE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
b. Remove charging harness cable and connect to a
receptacle or the correct voltage.
c. Allow batteries to charge until 100% LED is illuminated.
NOTE:When batteries are completely charged, disconnect charging
harness cable from receptacle. Store charging harness cable.
d. Ensure battery cables are properly positioned and are
not pinched. Close and secure all compartment doors.

6.5TIRES & WHEELS
Tire Replacement
JLG recommends a replacement tire be the same size, ply and brand
as originally installed on the machine. Please refer to the JLG Parts
Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a particular
machine model. If not using a JLG approved replacement tire, we
recommend that replacement tires have the following characteristics:
• Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original
• Tire tread contact width equal or greater than original
• Wheel diameter, width, and offset dimensions equal to the
original
• Approved for the application by the tire manufacturer
(including inflation pressure and maximum tire load)
Unless specifically approved by JLG Industries Inc. do not replace a
foam filled or ballast filled tire assembly with a pneumatic tire. When
selecting and installing a replacement tire, ensure that all tires are
inflated to the pressure recommended by JLG. Due to size variations
between tire brands, both tires on the same axle should be the same.
Wheel and Tire Replacement
The rims installed on each product model have been designed for
stability requirements which consist of track width, tire pressure, and
load capacity. Size changes such as rim width, center piece location,
larger or smaller diameter, etc., without written factory recommendations, may result in an unsafe condition regarding stability.
Wheel Installation
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque.
WHEEL NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE PROPER TORQUE TO
PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKEN STUDS, AND POSSIBLE DANGEROUS SEPARATION
OF WHEEL FROM THE AXLE. BE SURE TO USE ONLY THE 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. If you do
not have a torque wrench, tighten the fasteners with a lug wrench,
then immediately have a service garage or dealer tighten the lug
nuts to the proper torque. Over-tightening will result in breaking the
studs or permanently deforming the mounting stud holes in the
wheels. The proper procedure for attaching wheels is as follows:
3121252– JLG Lift –6-15
SECTION 6 - GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS & OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
1. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. DO NOT
use a lubricant on threads or nuts.
2. Tighten nuts in the following sequence.
3. The tightening of the nuts should be done in stages. Follow-
ing the recommended sequence, tighten nuts per wheel
torque.
Table 6-16. Wheel Torque Chart
TORQUE SEQUENCE
1st Stage2nd Stage3rd Stage
40 ft lbs (55 Nm)95 ft lbs (130 Nm)170 ft lbs (230 Nm)
4. Wheel nuts should be torqued after first 50 hours of operation and after each wheel removal. Check the torque after
the first 10 miles, 25 miles, and again at 50 miles. Check periodically thereafter.
