SECTION 3. USER RESPONSIBILITIES AND MACHINE CONTROL
3.1GENERAL
SINCE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER
MACHINE APPLICATION AND OPERATION, CONFORMANCE WITH
GOOD SAFETY PRACTICES IN THESE AREAS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER AND HIS/HER OPERATING PERSONNEL.
This section provides the necessary information needed
to understand control functions. Included in this section
are the operating characteris tic s and limitations, and functions and purposes of controls and indicators. It is important that the user read and understand the proper
procedures before operating the machine. These procedures will aid in obtaining op timum lift service and s afe
operation.
3.2PERSONNEL TRAINING
The aerial platform is a personnel handling device; therefore, it is essential that it be operated and maintained only
by authorized and qua lified personnel w ho have demonstrated that they understand the proper use and maintenance of the machine. It is important that all personnel
who are assigned to and are responsible for the operation
and maintenance of the machine undergo a thorough
training program a nd check out perio d i n order t o bec ome
familiar with the characteristics prior to operating the
machine.
Persons under the influence of drugs or alcohol or who
are subject to seizures, dizziness or loss of physical control must not be permitted to operate the machine.
Operator Training.
Operator training must include instruction in the following
areas:
1. Use and limitations of the platform controls, ground
controls, emergency controls and safety systems.
2. Knowledge and understanding of this manual and of
the control markings, instructions and warnings on
the machine itself.
3. Knowledge and understanding of all safety work
rules of the employer and of Federal, State and local
statutes, including training in the recognition and
avoidance of potential hazards in the work place;
with particular attention to the work to be performed.
4. Proper use of all required personnel safety equipment, in particular th e wea ring of a safety harness or
other approved fall protection devices with a lanyard
attached to a designated attach point, on the platform, at all times.
5. Sufficient knowledge of the mechanical operation of
the machine to recognize a malfunction or potential
malfunction.
6. The safest means to operate the machine where
overhead obstructions, other moving equipment,
and obstacles, depressions, holes, dropoffs, etc. on
the supporting surface exist.
7. Means to av oid the hazards o f unprotected el e ctrical
conductors.
8. Any other requirements of a specific job or machine
application.
Training Supervision.
Training must be done under the supe rvis ion of a qualified
person in an open area free of obstru ctions until the
trainee has developed the ability to safely control a
machine in congested work locations.
Operator Responsibility.
The operator must be in structed that he/she has t he
responsibility and authori ty to shut down the machine in
case of a malfunction or other unsafe condition of either
the machine or the job site and to request further information from his/her supervisor or an authorized JLG Distributor before proceeding.

combination. The handle features a round gate so
that maximum speed is reduced when multiple functions are selected.
Lower lift will not function when operating upper lift.
5. Telescope Control.
The TELESCOPE control switch affords extension
and retraction of the main boom when positioned to
IN or OUT.
6. Drive/Steer.
The DRIVE controller provides for driving either for-
ward or backward when positioned to FORWARD or
REVERSE. The controller is ‘ramped’ to allow infinitely variable drive speed between fast and slow.
Positioning the steer control thumb operated switch
RIGHT or LEFT enables steering the machine to the
right or left respectively.
NOTE: When lower boom is raised above horizontal, or the
upper boom is raised approximately 16 inches
(40.64 cm) above boom rest, the high drive function
will automatically switch to low drive. This also
occurs when Function Speed Control is clicked on
creep.

14. System Distress Indicator .
The system distress indicator lights to signify an
abnormal condition for the generator engine (high
oil temperature or low oil pressure) or, on all electric
machines, an electrical system fault.
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.
Updated 8-18-99

SECTION 3 - USER RESPONSIBILITIES AND MACHINE CONTROL
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 s teep
grades which exceed the rated gradeability of
the machine. This condition is comparable to
stalling the engi ne by asking it to provide more
power than it was designed to do.
c. The batteries are nearly depleted, and sh ould be
charged very soon to prevent having the
machine st op at an inconve nient place.
d. There is some other fault in one of the circuits. If
so determine the cause by counting t he flash
code, a number of flashes followed by a pause
followed by another numb e r of flashes, and refer
to the service manual.
NOTE: The engine will automatically shut down under the

16. Horn.
A push-type HORN switch supplies electrical power
to an audible warning device when pressed.
17. Circuit Breakers.
The circuit breakers open (pop out) to indicate a
short or overload somewhere on the machine.

SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION
4.1DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped
with a work platform on the end of an elevating, articulat-
ing and rotating boom. The JLG Lift’s intended purpose is
to position perso nnel with thei r to ols an d supp lie s at po sitions above ground level, and can be used to reach work
areas located above 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 or l ower the upp er or lowe r
boom or swing the boom to the left or r ight. Standard
boom swing is 360 degree non-continuous left and right of
the stowed position . The machin e has a G round Control
Station which will override the Platfor m Control Station.
Ground Controls operate Upper and Lower Boom Lift and
Swing, and are to be u sed in an em ergency to lo wer the
platform to the ground should the operator in the platform
be unable to do so. Grou nd Control also to be used in
Pre-Operation check.
Instructions and hazard alerts are posted on the operator
control stations and at other places on the machine. It is
extremely important that operators know what instructions
and hazard alerts are placed on the machine, and review
these periodically so that they are fresh in their minds.
Vibrations emitted by these machi nes are not hazardous
to an operator in the work platform.
The JLG Lift is design ed to pro vid e efficient and safe operation when main taine d and op era ted in a ccordance with
warnings on the machine, in the Operators & 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 section and the Preparation and
Inspection section, 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 supervi sor 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 obje ct .
The JLG Lift is powered using a hydraulic pump and cylinders for various functions. The hydraulic components are
controlled by electrical ly activat ed hydraul ic valves us ing
switches and control levers. Th e speeds of boom functions are variable from zero to maximum speed depending upon the position of the function speed control.
Functions controlled by toggle switches are either on or
off. A foot operated switch in the platform must be
depressed before any controls will function and provides
a means of emergency stop when the operators foot is
removed from the footswitch.
The JLG Lift is a two wheel drive machine with drive power
being supplied by 2 electric mot ors thru plane tary gear
reducers.
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 anywhe re the boom will reach,
with the machine on a smooth, firm, and level surface.
4.2GENERAL
This section provides the necessary information needed
to operate the machine. Included in this section are procedures for traveling, steering, parking, platform loa ding and
transporting. It is important that the user read and understand the proper procedures bef ore operating the
machine.
4.3MOTOR OPERATION
Power/Emergency Stop
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.
NOTE: If equipped with the optional on-board generator, the
Emergency Stop switch must be left on (pulled out)
to allow for automatic charging of the batteries.
Within about 2 seconds of pulling the sw itch out, the
machine will p erform a di agnosti c check o f the vari ous
electrical circuits, and if everything is OK, the platform
alarm will beep once. During this time the lights on the
indicator panel will also blink once as a bulb check.
