This section contains the general safety precautions
which must be observed during maintenance of the aerial
platform. It is of utmost importance that maintenance personnel pay strict attention to these warnings and precautions to avoid possible injury to themselves or others, or
damage to the equipment. A maintenance program must
be followed to ensure that the machine is safe to operate.
MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE WITHOUT CERTIFICATION BY
A RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY THAT THE MACHINE IS AT LEAST
AS SAFE AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED, IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
The specific precautions to be observed during maintenance are inserted at the appropriate point in the manual.
These precautions are, for the most part, those that apply
when servicing hydraulic and larger machine component
parts.
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of weight. Never attempt to move heavy
parts without the aid of a mechanical device. Do not allow
heavy objects to rest in an unstable position. When raising
a portion of the equipment, ensure that adequate support
is provided.
SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IN THIS AREA IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/
OPERATOR.
BHYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems
operate at extremely high, potentially dangerous pressures. Every effort should be made to relieve any system
pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any portion of
the system.
CMAINTENANCE
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN

SECTION A - INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: This manual is intended as a supplement to the indi-
vidual machine’s Operators and Safety Manual.
1.1INTRODUCTION & OPERATION
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the owner/user/operator/les-
sor/lessee to read & understand this manual and the
machine Operators & Safety Manual and to prevent
overloading the platform. Do not operate a machine
with a disconnected or inoperative Load Sensing
System.
The JLG-designed Load Sensing System (LSS) measures
platform load via four sensors mounted between the platform and support structure. If the actual platform load
exceeds the selected Rated Load, the following will occur:
1. The Overload Visual Warning Indicator
will flash at the selected control position
(platform or ground).
2. The Platform and Ground Alarms will
sound 5 seconds On, and 2 seconds Off.
3. All normal movement will be prevented from the
platform control position (optional - ground control
functions may be prevented).
4. Further movement is permitted by:
a. Removing the excess platform load until actual
platform load is less than Rated Load.
b. Operation of the overriding emergency system
(Auxiliary Power Unit).
c. By an authorized person at the ground control
position (optional - ground control functions
may be prevented).
Calibration of the Load Sensing System is performed by
connecting the JLG Analyzer (Analyzer Kit, JLG part no.
2901443), to the Load Sensing System Module. All calibration procedures are menu driven through the use of
the Analyzer. Note that Load Sensing System has an independent Analyzer connection located near the module.
1.2CONNECTING THE JLG CONTROL
SYSTEM ANALYZER
1. Connect the cable supplied with the analyzer, to the
LSS control module located in the platform and connect the remaining end of the cable to the analyzer.
NOTE: Do not confuse the Host Control System and LSS
Module’s Analyzer Connections.
The cable (shown below) has a four pin connector at
each end of the cable; the cable cannot be connected backwards.
THE LOAD SENSING SYSTEM MUST BE CALIBRATED WHEN ONE
OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OCCUR:
a. LSS System initial installation
b. LSS Module replacement
c. LSS Sensor removal or replacement
d. Addition or removal of certain platform mounted
accessories. (Refer to Calibration in Section 2)
e. Platform is removed, replaced, repaired or
shows evidence of impact.
THE LOAD SENSING SYSTEM REQUIRES PERIODIC FUNCTION
VERIFICATION NOT TO EXCEED 6 MONTHS FROM PREVIOUS
VERIFICATION. REFER TO TESTING & EVALUATION IN SECTION
2.
2. Power up the Control System by turning the key to
the platform or ground position and pulling both
emergency stop buttons on.

SECTION 1 - OPERATION
1.11 JLG ACCESSORIES, INCLUDING
WORKSTATION IN THE SKY
The Load Sensing System must be configured for proper
operation with JLG approved Accessories. Calibration of
the Load Sensing System can be performed with the
Accessory mounted in the platform.
TM
JLG Approved Accessories (Except
SkyGlazier)
A platform-mounted accessory slightly reduces the
amount of load that can be carried before the vehicle
becomes overloaded. This extra load must be accounted
for to enable the accessory to be mounted during Calibration.
A De-Rating is provided for JLG Sky Accessories via decal
and/or the JLG Workstation in the Sky
ual. This De-Rating must be entered into the LSS Module’s ACC’Y Personality to cause the system to accurately
indicate overload (by the De-Rating factor).
Example: Consider the case of the JLG SkyWelder (SkyCutter) with a De-Rating of 70LBS (32KG). Without De-Rating, the Load Sensing System will declare Overload at
550LBS (250KG) in the 500LBS Capacity Zone (110% of
500LBS) and at 1100LBS (499KG) in the 1000LBS Capacity Zone (110% of 1000LBS). When the De-Rating for SkyWelder (SkyCutter) is entered into the ACC’Y Personality,
the LSS will declare Overload 70LBS (32KG) earlier
(480LBS or 218KG in the 500LBS Capacity Zone;
1030LBS or 467KG in the 1000LBS Capacity Zone).
Procedurally, the Accessory should be mounted to the
platform and the LSS Module’s ACC’Y Personality should
be set using the guidelines above. Calibration should be
performed as outlined in this manual. During Testing &
Evaluation, it should be noted that the LSS will declare
Overload with less platform load (by the amount of the DeRating).
TM
Accessory Man-
SkyGlazier Accessory
This Accessory does not have a simple De-Rating since it
has different impact on the 500LBS and 1000LBS Capacity Zones (Moment limits in 1000# Zone).
SKYGLAZIER (BASE ONLY)
When not using the SkyGlazier, recommended JLG vehicles can safely carry the SkyGlazier’s Base without impact
on normal capacity ratings.
Procedurally, mount the SkyGlazier’s Base but not the
Tray. Set the LSS Module’s Personalities according to the
table below and perform a Calibration.
PersonalitySetting

(Total Platform Weight with Tray Installed), and 750LBS
(340KG) in the 1000LBS Capacity Zone (Total Platform

2.1DESCRIPTION
The system consists of the LSS Module, four Shear Beam
Load Cells (sensors), Wire Harness, and various brackets
and fasteners. The LSS Module is mounted in the platform
on a bracket beneath the console box (above the rotator).
The Shear Beam Load Cells mount between the platform
and the support structure in such a way that all support
force for the platform is applied through them (for measurement). The four Shear Beam Load Cells plug directly
into the LSS Module. The Wire Harness connects the LSS
Module to the Host Control System.
2.2INSTALLATION
1. Loosen the Fasteners that secure the Platform to the
Support Structure. Maneuver the platform above a
pair of saw-horses or other adequate supporting
device capable of supporting up to 350lbs.(160 kg).
Position the platform to a comfortable height.
Loosen but do not remove the four 1/2 inch Shank
(3/4 inch Head) Hex Bolts that secure the platform to
the support.
2. Separate the Platform and Support Structure.
tly lower the platform onto the saw-horses or supporting device (using the Auxiliary Power Unit from
Ground Control). Remove the fasteners that secure
the platform to the support structure and discard the
fasteners (new fasteners must be used for installation since all are torqued to specification).
3. Mount the Shear Beam Load Cells to the Support
Structure. Carefully examine the detail on Figure 2-
2., Load Sensing System Installation (Sheet 2 of 2)
that shows how the components are placed onto the
platform support structure. Place one of the Shear
Beam Load Cells on top of the support structure
with the Orientation Arrow pointing downward
(groove near the single mounting hole upward).

Insert the two 1/2 inch Shank (3/4 inch Head) Hex
Bolts from above.
4. Install the Wire Channels to the Support Structure.
Install the Load Cell Guard Bracket (2 Left and 2
Right) and Washers below the support structure and
secure the Hex Lock Nuts but do not completely
tighten (all fasteners will be fully tightened in a subsequent step after alignment to minimize off-axis
stress on the sensors).
The channels mount to the Load Cell Guard Brackets and provide protection for the wiring beneath the
platform. Mount the channels as shown on Figure 2-
1., Load Sensing System Installation (Sheet 1 of 2)
and Figure 2-2., Load Sensing System Installation
(Sheet 2 of 2). The large opening is positioned
toward the rear of the platform and provides clearance for the sensor’s cable exit. The open part of the
channel faces inward (away from the sensor).
Install the remaining three Shear Beam Load Cells in
the same fashion. Label each sensor’s connector to
avoid confusion in a subsequent step (Front-Left,
Front-Right, Rear-Left, Rear-Right).
2-4– JLG Lift –3124287
SECTION 2 - SERVICE - ENGINE POWERED BOOM LIFTS
Route the rear sensor wiring through the large opening in the channel. An additional shield is supplied
for the two Rear Shear Beam Load Cells (to cover
the sensor’s cable exit). Mount the cable clamps
inside the channel (3 small clamps per side) to properly retain the wiring within the channel. During this
step, pull all four Shear Beam Load Cell wires
through the channels toward the LSS Module
mounting location. Excess wire length should not be
allowed to hang below the platform (it will be bundled near the LSS Module).
5. Mount the Platform to the Shear Beam Load Cells.
Carefully maneuver the platform support structure
toward the platform (using the Auxiliary Power Unit
from Ground Control). Make final adjustments by
sliding the platform on the saw-horses or barrels.
Ensure that sensor wiring is not damaged during
this step. Study the Installation Drawing’s detail
regarding how components are placed. From below,
insert the 5/8 inch Shank bolts (15/16” Head) with
washers that mount the Platform to the Shear Beam
Load Cells. Place the spacer bushing on top of the
Shear Beam Load Cells (between the platform and
sensor), with the beveled feature toward the sensor.
Secure the Hex Lock Nut on top of the platform but

8. Install the Shear Beam Load Cell Connections.
Locate the connector from the Rear-Right Shear
Beam Load Cell (orientation from the normal operator’s position while using platform control console).
Install the Rear-Right connector into the LSS Module’s J8 by carefully rotating the molded portion of
the connector until the keys align, and then tightening the knurled barrel. Tighten it first by hand (avoid
cross-threading), and then carefully secure it with a
small pair of locking pliers. The connector must be
secured in this fashion to compress its O-ring seal
and assure moisture resistance, but must not be
over-tightened such that it damages the LSS Module. Install the Rear-Left into J7, the Front-Right into
J6, and the Front-Left into J5. Neatly bundle the
excess wire using wire ties so it can be stowed in the
region below the LSS Module mounting location.
Ensure that the excess wire length stays within the
platform envelope and does not interfere with
hydraulic hose movement at the rotator.

10. Install the Overload Lamp at Ground Control if necessary. Open the Main Terminal Box and ensure that
the Overload Lamp is installed in the Indicator Panel.
Alternately, observe the Ground Control's Indicator Panel for the Overload
Symbol during Power-Up with the Keyswitch in the Ground position. If it is
present, skip this step in the procedure. To install the
Overload Lamp, first review the AMP Connector section of the vehicle's Service Manual for detailed
instructions regarding the connector system.
Next, mount the lamp by inserting it into
the opening behind the Overload Symbol
and rotating it until it locks. Route the
lamp's Brown/White and Black wires from
the door toward the Ground Module's J4 connector
and secure with wire ties. Remove the J4 Connector
(Blue) from the Ground Module by releasing the
locking tab with a 3/16 inch (4.8mm) wide screw-
driver blade. Pry the red wedge lock to the open
position for contact loading, but do not remove it.
Remove the sealing plugs with a small pair of pliers
by rotating them back and forth during removal.
Insert the Brown/White wire into J4-14 (lamp output),
and the Black into J4-32 (ground). (If J4-32 is
already used, connect the Black wire to the ground
on the last indicator lamp in the chain.) Close the red
wedge lock by squeezing it uniformly inward. Install
the J4 connector back into the Ground Module and
ensure that the locking tab clicks into position.
11. Setup the Host Control System to enable the Load
Sensing System. Power-up the Host Control System
by resetting the EMS at the Ground Control station.
Plug the JLG Analyzer into the Host Control System’s Analyzer Connection at the Ground or Platform (do not confuse the Host Control System and
LSS Module’s Analyzer Connections).

4. Use the Technician’s Weight to Evaluate. The technician should enter the platform and record the PLTLOAD reading while standing in the center of the
platform, and then each corner. The average of the
readings should be the estimated weight of the technician. The range of the readings should be no more
than 20lbs (9kg) (max PLTLOAD reading – min PLTLOAD reading).
5. Confirm Host Control System Warnings and Interlocks. Using the vehicle’s keyswitch, select Platform
Mode and power-up. Start the vehicle’s engine and
ensure that all controls are functional and the Load
Sensing System’s Overload Visual and Audible
Warnings are not active. Simulate an Overload by
unplugging the Shear Beam Load Cell connected to
J5 on the LSS Module (the most easily accessed).
The Overload Visual Warning should flash, and the
Audible Warning (at Platform and Ground) should
sound for 5 seconds On, and 2 seconds Off. With
the engine running, all control should be prevented.
Cycle the Platform EMS to stop the engine and then
power-up again. The Overload Visual and Audible
Warning should continue. Confirm that controls are
responsive when using the Auxiliary Power Unit for
emergency movement. Install the disconnected
Shear Beam Load Cell back in J5 on the LSS Module. The Overload Visual and Audible Warnings
should cease and normal control function should
return. Switch the vehicle’s keyswitch to Ground
Mode and repeat the above procedure. The Overload Visual Warning at the Ground Controls should
flash, and the Audible Warning (at Platform and
Ground) should sound for 5 seconds On, 2 seconds
Off. However, the controls should remain functional
when using the engine and the Auxiliary Power Unit
(if the Host Controls System’s MACHINE SETUP,
LOAD is set to “2=CUTOUT PLT”. If set to “3=CUTOUT ALL”, then Ground Controls will be prevented
when using the engine as in the platform). Re-fit the
Shear Beam Load Cell to J5 on the LSS Module and
carefully tighten by hand, and then with a small pair
of locking pliers to seat the O-ring seal.
6. Confirm Host Control System Capacity Indication
(optional for vehicles with Dual Capacity Ratings).
For vehicles equipped with a Capacity Select switch
on the Platform Console Box, it is necessary to
examine an additional interface between the Load
Sensing System and the Host Control System.
Using the vehicle keyswitch, select Platform Mode
and power-up. If necessary, put the boom in the
transport position (completely stowed) and center
the Jib Plus (if equipped). Place the Capacity Select
switch in the 500lbs (230kg)position and ensure that
the proper indicator illuminates on the Platform Console Box. Plug the JLG Analyzer into the LSS Module’s Analyzer connection and proceed to the
DIAGNOSTICS, SYSTEM submenu. Ensure that the
750# (340kg) CAPACITY and 1000# (450kg)
CAPACITY displays indicate OFF. Place the Capacity
Select switch in the 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg)
position (if so equipped) and ensure that the proper
indicator illuminates on the Platform Console Box
(but does not flash). For vehicles with 750lbs
(340kg) capacity, ensure that the 750# (340kg)
CAPACITY display indicates ON but the 1000#
(450kg) CAPACITY indicates OFF. For vehicles with
1000lbs capacity, ensure that the 750# (340kg)
CAPACITY display indicates OFF but the 1000#
CAPACITY indicates ON.
7. Confirm Load Sensing System Performance with
Calibrated Weights. Operate the vehicle from
Ground Control and place the boom in the transport
position (fully stowed) for safety. Plug the JLG Analyzer into the LSS Module’s connection and proceed
to the DIAGNOSTICS, PLTLOAD display. Place
500lbs (230kg) in the platform and ensure that PLTLOAD is with +

The JLG Analyzer is failing to communicate with the LSS Module, but the LSS Module is
powered (indicated by module’s LED). Investigate JLG Analyzer serial communication and
power supply connections.
1. If the Analyzer displays “CONNECTING…” or “CONNECTION ERROR” after a short
interval, examine the Analyzer harness on J2. J2-2 should connect to Pin 3 on the
Analyzer, and J2-11 should connect to Pin 2.
2. If the Analyzer does not display anything (and there is no backlighting), examine the
Analyzer’s power supply. Remove the harness connection from J2 and ensure that
J2-1 has approximately 12V, and J2-12 is 0V. The harness should connect J2-1 to Pin
1 on the Analyzer, and J2-12 to Pin 4 on the Analyzer.
3. The JLG Analyzer is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
4. The LSS Module is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
The LSS Module is un-powered, a short exists, or the device is damaged.
1. LSS Module’s power supply is improper. Check for the presence of approximately
12V on J1-1, and 0V on J1-2. The module’s power supply comes from the Platform
Console Box. Use to the Wiring Diagram to trace the conductors to their source.
2. There is a short circuit on the reference voltage present on J5-J8. Unplug the connectors one at a time and observe if the module begins to function after a particular
connection is removed. If so, carefully inspect the wiring between the module and
that sensor.
3. There is a short circuit on the pre-regulated supply for the JLG Analyzer present on
J2-1. Unplug J2’s connector and observe whether the module begins to function. If
so, examine the Analyzer harness for defect.

The LSS Module expected the empty platform to weight more for calibration.
1. The platform is resting on the ground or another obstruction during calibration. The
platform’s weight must be transferred through the Shear Beam Load Cells and into
the support structure for an accurate calibration.
2. The wrong Model Selection was made under the LSS Module’s MACHINE SETUP,

the LSS Module to expect different empty platform weights.
3. One or more shear beams are improperly mounted (there is interference between
the platform and support structure) or upside down. Refer to the Installation portion
of this manual to resolve the issue.
4. The calibration difficulty may be a result of a Measurement Performance issue.

The LSS Module is unable to properly measure the platform weight.
1. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells is not properly plugged into the LSS Module.
Since the connectors seal with an O-ring and are located in a crowded area, it is possible that the connectors are threaded together, but poor electrical contact is made.
Attempt to wiggle the molded portion of each connector on J5-J8. If properly tightened, the molded portion should not move. Also, examined each Shear Beam Load
Cell’s readings via the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4, LOAD
displays and determine if the readings are reasonable. Note that it is possible to have
only two sensors carrying all of the platform load due to fit between the platform and
support structure (this is normal).
2. Wiring leading to one of the Shear Beam Load Cells is damaged. Examine each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4,
LOAD displays and determine if the readings are reasonable and responsive to slight
downward pressure above the sensor being viewed. Carefully inspect sensor wiring
where it passes through cable clamps for signs of damage. Inspect wiring where
damage to the channel is apparent. If damage to the sensor’s cordset is found,
replace the appropriate Shear Beam Load Cell since the cordset is not serviceable
(connector is molded for moisture resistance; cordset is soldered into sensor
beneath welded stainless steel cover).
3. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells was not assembled properly during installation.
Examine each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4, LOAD displays and determine if the readings are reasonable. It is
often helpful to apply slight downward pressure above the sensor being examined
and observe that its output increases (increasing force measurement; decreasing
means the sensor is mounted upside-down). Compare the order of assembly to the
detail on the Installation Drawing and ensure that the only contact between the platform and the support is through the sensor bodies (nothing else touches except
wires). Re-assemble according to print if necessary.

4. Improper procedure was used when tightening the fasteners for the Shear Beam
Load Cells. Failure to regard the notes in the Installation guide can result in large offaxis forces on the sensors (which disturb the primary measurement axis readings).
Loosen all fasteners and sequentially torque them as recommended in the Installation guide (new fasteners are recommended to achieve proper torque).
5. Damage to the platform or support structure has occurred or one of the components
is out-of-tolerance (not planar). When the fasteners are torqued to specification, the
sensors are disturbed by large off-axis forces (which disturb the primary measurement axis readings). Loosen all fasteners and observe whether the platform or support were drawn-up by the fasteners (they should both be planar and match up
accurately). Resolution is to replace the damaged or faulty component. Watch for
Shear Beam Load Cell damage (yield) as a result of this difficulty.
6. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells is contaminated by debris or moisture. Examine
each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL
1-4, LOAD displays and determine if the readings are reasonable and stable (not
changing by more than +
Lack of measurement stability is a key indication of contamination. Unplug the
appropriate connector (J5 is CELL 1, J6 is CELL 2, J7 is CELL 3, and J8 is CELL 4)
and inspect for dirt or moisture. Look carefully into the female connector on the sensor’s cordset for evidence of contamination. Debris should be brushed away with a
soft bristle brush (do not introduce any cleaners as they will leave conductive residue). Moisture should be allowed to evaporate or accelerated with a heat-gun (use
low heat and be carefully to not melt connector materials). Moisture intrusion into the
molded portion of the connector (capillary action into the wire bundle) or the Shear
Beam Load Cell itself will require replacement of the sensor.
7. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells has been mechanically damaged (yielded). Any
Shear Beam Load Cell that is physically deformed or has damage to one of the stainless steel covers should be replaced immediately. It is also possible to have invisible
mechanical damage resulting from an extreme overload (>6000lbs [>2722kg]). This
can be detected by removing all fasteners that mount the platform and supporting
the platform on two saw-horses or barrels (no weight resting on the Shear Beam
Load Cells). Examine each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the
DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4, LOAD displays and observe whether the unloaded sensors read with +

Shear Beam Load Cell from the
LSS Module. Controls remain
functional at Platform and
Ground Control positions.
The Visual and Audible Overload Warnings sound even
when the platform is empty.
Controls are prevented in the
same manner as when overloaded.
The Host Control System is failing to regard the overload signal from the LSS Module, or
the signal is shorted.
1. The Load Sensing System must be enabled within the Host Control System. Plug
the JLG Analyzer into the Host Control System, enter the Access Level 1 password
(33271), and examine the MACHINE SETUP, LOAD sub-menu. The selection
“2=CUTOUT PLT” should be displayed for European Community compliance (platform controls prevented during overload, ground controls remain operational). In
country- or customer-specific circumstance, the selection “3=CUTOUT ALL” is used
(platform and ground controls prevented during overload).
2. The signal between the LSS Module and the Host Control System is shorted. The
Platform Module’s J1-20 is an input, and it connected to the J1-5 output on the LSS
Module To examine the status of this signal, plug the JLG Analyzer into the Host
Control System, enter the Access Level 1 password (33271), and examine the
DIAGNOSTICS, SYSTEM, LOAD display. The display will indicate “OK” when the
Platform Module’s input is energized (approximately 12V), and “OVERLOADED”
when it is de-energized (0V). Refer to the Wiring Diagram for Load Sensing System
for details
3. Observe the LSS Module’s assessment of overload using the JLG Analyzer plugged
into the LSS Module’s connection. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, OVERLOADED?
display. The display should indicate “OVERLOADED? N” when the platform is
empty, and “OVERLOADED? Y” when the platform is overloaded. If the assessment
is improper, the difficulty may be a result of a General or Measurement Performance
issue. Review the Possible Resolutions under those categories.
4. If the LSS Module’s J1-5 Output does not appears to coincide with the DIAGNOSTICS, OVERLOADED? display, then the LSS Module is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
The LSS Module is un-powered, un-calibrated, or is experiencing a Measurement Performance difficulty. Alternately, the Host Control System is not receiving the proper signal from
the LSS Module.
1. Ensure that the LSS Module is powered. The LSS Module’s LED will be lit or flash if
the module is powered. If not, ensure that approximately 12V is present between J11 and J1-2 on the LSS Module (J1-1 is positive). Trace the Ignition and Ground supply wires into the Platform Console Box’s Wiring Harness using the Wiring Diagram
to locate the difficulty.
2. Plug a JLG Analyzer into the LSS Module’s connection and ensure that the Host
Control System is powered-up. When HELP:PRESS ENTER is displayed, press the
ENTER key on the Analyzer. If “EVERYTHING OK” is displayed, it is probable that
the Overload Signal from the LSS Module is not reaching the Host Control System.
This signal is present on LSS Module’s J1-5 and is approximately 12V normally, and
0V during an overload. This signal eventually reaches the Platform Module’s J1-20.
Refer to the Wiring Diagram for wire color, number, and terminal information.
3. If the Analyzer displayed “OVERLOADED” in the previous step, press the ENTER
key again. If “NO CAL” is displayed, the Load Sensing System has not been properly calibrated. Refer to the Calibration portion of this manual.

to the proper Host Control System documentation. The Ground Alarm is energized from J227 on the Ground Module (approximately 12V). Ensure that the ground termination is
proper (0V).
The Host Control System is configured to prevent platform controls only in the event of
overload (as required for EN280 compliance). Alternately, the Host Control System can be
configured to prevent ground and platform controls for country- or customer-specific circumstances.
Plug the JLG Analyzer into the LSS Module’s connection and enter the Access Level 1
password (33271). Proceed to the MACHINE SETUP, LOAD sub-menu. Set this parameter
to “2=CUTOUT PLT” to prevent platform controls in the event of overload. Set this parameter to “3=CUTOUT ALL” to prevent platform and ground controls in the event of overload.
There is a malfunction associated with the Capacity Select signal between the Host Control
System and LSS Module. This signal is controlled by the Host Control System and is an
input to the LSS Module. When the Capacity Select switch is set to 500lbs (230kg), this signal is de-energized (0V). The signal is energized (12V) when the Capacity Select switch is
set to 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg). This signal will be connected to J1-8 on the LSS Module for vehicles that carry up to 750lbs (340kg), and J1-9 for vehicles that carry up to
1000lbs (450kg).
1. Observe operation of the Platform Console Box’s Capacity Indicator Lamps. Place
the boom in the transport position (fully stowed) and center the Jib Plus (if

Box is in the 500lbs (230kg) position, ensure that the 500lbs (230kg) Indicator Lamp
is lit. When the Capacity Select switch is in the 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg) position, ensure that the 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg) Indicator Lamp is lit. If either
does not occur, ensure that J1-21 on the Platform Module is de-energized (0V)
when the Capacity Select switch is in the 500lbs (230kg) position, and energized
(12V) when the switch is in the 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg) position. Ensure that
J2-12 on the Platform Module is energized (12V) when the Capacity Select switch is
in the 500LBS position. Ensure that J2-13 on the Platform Module is energized
(12V) when the Capacity Select switch is in the 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg) position. Finally, is may be necessary to consult documentation for the Host Control
System to determine if another safety interlock is preventing the vehicle from entering the 750lbs/1000lbs (340kg/450kg) mode.
2. Remove the J1 (Grey) connector from the LSS Module and measure voltage on this
signal (J1-8 for 750lbs [340kg] or J1-9 for 1000lbs [450kg]). Plug the JLG Analyzer
into the LSS Module’s connection and proceed to DIAGNOSTICS, SYSTEM. The
750# CAPACITY display will indicate “ON” when J1-8 is energized (12V) and “OFF”
when J1-8 is de-energized (0V). The 1000# (450kg) CAPACITY display will indicate
“ON” when J1-9 is energized (12V) and “OFF” when J1-9 is de-energized (0V). If the
LSS Module fails to respond properly to signals on J1-8 or J1-9, then the LSS Module is suspect (substitute to determine cause of failure).

3.1DESCRIPTION
The system consists of the LSS Module, four Shear Beam
Load Cells (sensors), Wire Harness, and various brackets
and fasteners. The LSS Module is mounted in the platform
on a bracket beneath the console box (above the rotator).
The Shear Beam Load Cells mount between the platform
and the support structure in such a way that all support
force for the platform is applied through them (for measurement). The four Shear Beam Load Cells plug directly
into the LSS Module. The Wire Harness connects the LSS
Module to the Host Control System.
3.2INSTALLATION
1. Loosen the Fasteners that secure the Platform to the
Support Structure. Maneuver the platform above a
pair of saw-horses or other adequate supporting
device capable of supporting up to 350lbs.(160 kg).
Position the platform to a comfortable height.
Loosen but do not remove the four 1/2 inch Shank
(3/4 inch Head) Hex Bolts that secure the platform to
the support.
2. Separate the Platform and Support Structure.
tly lower the platform onto the saw-horses or supporting device (from Ground Control). Remove the
fasteners that secure the platform to the support
structure and discard the fasteners (new fasteners
must be used for installation since all are torqued to
specification).
3. Mount the Shear Beam Load Cells to the Support
Structure. Carefully examine the detail on Figure 3-
2., Load Sensing System Installation (Sheet 2 of 2)
that shows how the components are placed onto the
platform support structure. Place one of the Shear
Beam Load Cells on top of the support structure
with the Orientation Arrow pointing downward
(groove near the single mounting hole upward).

and Figure 3-2., Load Sensing System Installation
(Sheet 2 of 2). The large opening is positioned
toward the rear of the platform and provides clearance for the sensor’s cable exit. The open part of the
channel faces inward (away from the sensor).
Install the remaining three Shear Beam Load Cells in
the same fashion. Label each sensor’s connector to
avoid confusion in a subsequent step (Front-Left,
Front-Right, Rear-Left, Rear-Right).

8. Install the Shear Beam Load Cell Connections.
Locate the connector from the Rear-Right Shear
Beam Load Cell (orientation from the normal operator’s position while using platform control console).
Install the Rear-Right connector into the LSS Module’s J8 by carefully rotating the molded portion of
the connector until the keys align, and then tightening the knurled barrel. Tighten it first by hand (avoid
cross-threading), and then carefully secure it with a
small pair of locking pliers. The connector must be
secured in this fashion to compress its O-ring seal
and assure moisture resistance, but must not be
over-tightened such that it damages the LSS Module. Install the Rear-Left into J7, the Front-Right into
J6, and the Front-Left into J5. Neatly bundle the
excess wire using wire ties so it can be stowed in the
region below the LSS Module mounting location.
Ensure that the excess wire length stays within the
platform envelope and does not interfere with
hydraulic hose movement at the rotator.
Install a strain relief connector into the platform box
and route the harness from the Grey 12-position
Deutsch connector into the Platform Console Box.
Route the wires under the module. Terminate the
three harness wires inside the Platform Console Box
according to the Wiring Diagram for the Load Sensing System. Match the wire colors and numbers
from the LSS harness to those of the Host Control
System.
9. Wire the Load Sensing System to the Host Control
System. Ensure that the Host Control System is
powered-down by depressing the EMS at the
Ground Control station. From the wire harness provided, insert the Black 12-position Deutsch connector into J2 on the LSS Module (System Interface –
Communication) to install the JLG Analyzer connection. Plug the Deutsch connector into J1 on the LSS
Module (System Interface – Power & Digital).
10. Setup the Host Control System to enable the Load
Sensing System. Power-up the Host Control System
by resetting the EMS at the Ground Control station.

functional and the Load Sensing System’s Overload
Visual and Audible Warnings are not active. Simulate an Overload by unplugging the Shear Beam
Load Cell connected to J5 on the LSS Module (the
most easily accessed). The Overload Visual Warning
in the platform should flash, and the Audible Warning (at Platform and Ground) should sound for 5
seconds On, and 2 seconds Off. All controls should
be prevented. Install the disconnected Shear Beam
Load Cell back in J5 on the LSS Module. The Overload Visual and Audible Warnings should cease and
normal control function should return. Switch the
vehicle’s keyswitch to Ground Mode and repeat the
above procedure. The Overload Visual Warning at
the Ground Controls should flash, and the Audible
Warning (at Platform and Ground) should sound for
5 seconds On, 2 seconds Off. However, the controls
should remain functional (if the Host Controls System’s MACHINE SETUP, LOAD is set to “2=CUTOUT
PLT”. If set to “3=CUTOUT ALL”, then Ground Controls will be prevented as in the platform). Re-fit the
Shear Beam Load Cell to J5 on the LSS Module and

The following tables are furnished to provide possible resolutions for common difficulties. Difficulties are classified
as General, Calibration, Measurement Performance, and
Host System Functionality.

DifficultyPossible Resolution
JLG Analyzer does not display
“HELP: PRESS ENTER” when
connected to LSS Module’s
connection, but the module’s
LED is lit or flashing.
LED on LSS Module does not
light.
The JLG Analyzer is failing to communicate with the LSS Module, but the LSS Module is
powered (indicated by module’s LED). Investigate JLG Analyzer serial communication and
power supply connections.
1. If the Analyzer displays “CONNECTING…” or “CONNECTION ERROR” after a short
interval, examine the Analyzer harness on J2. J2-2 should connect to Pin 3 on the
Analyzer, and J2-11 should connect to Pin 2.
2. If the Analyzer does not display anything (and there is no backlighting), examine the
Analyzer’s power supply. Remove the harness connection from J2 and ensure that
J2-1 has approximately 12V, and J2-12 is 0V. The harness should connect J2-1 to Pin
1 on the Analyzer, and J2-12 to Pin 4 on the Analyzer.
3. The JLG Analyzer is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
4. The LSS Module is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
The LSS Module is un-powered, a short exists, or the device is damaged.
1. LSS Module’s power supply is improper. Check for the presence of approximately
12V on J1-1, and 0V on J1-2. The module’s power supply comes from the Platform
Console Box. Use to the Wiring Diagram to trace the conductors to their source.
2. There is a short circuit on the reference voltage present on J5-J8. Unplug the connectors one at a time and observe if the module begins to function after a particular
connection is removed. If so, carefully inspect the wiring between the module and
that sensor.
3. There is a short circuit on the pre-regulated supply for the JLG Analyzer present on
J2-1. Unplug J2’s connector and observe whether the module begins to function. If
so, examine the Analyzer harness for defect.
4. The LSS Module is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
JLG Analyzer displays
“<MIN CAL” after attempt is
made to Calibrate.
JLG Analyzer displays “>MAX
CAL” after attempt is made to

The LSS Module expected the empty platform to weight more for calibration.
1. The platform is resting on the ground or another obstruction during calibration. The
platform’s weight must be transferred through the Shear Beam Load Cells and into
the support structure for an accurate calibration.
2. The wrong Model Selection was made under the LSS Module’s MACHINE SETUP,
MODEL. This should be set to “MODEL=BOOM LIFT”. Improper selection may lead
the LSS Module to expect different empty platform weights.
3. One or more shear beams are improperly mounted (there is interference between
the platform and support structure) or upside down. Refer to the Installation portion
of this manual to resolve the issue.
4. The calibration difficulty may be a result of a Measurement Performance issue.
Review the Possible Resolutions under that category.
The LSS Module expects the empty platform to weigh less for calibration.
1. Tools, debris, or customer-installed accessories have not been removed before calibration. The LSS Module must tare an empty platform and its optional JLG Accessories.
2. The wrong Model Selection was made under the LSS Module’s MACHINE SETUP,
MODEL. This should be set to “MODEL=BOOM LIFT”. Improper selection may lead

The LSS Module is unable to properly measure the platform weight.
1. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells is not properly plugged into the LSS Module.
Since the connectors seal with an O-ring and are located in a crowded area, it is possible that the connectors are threaded together, but poor electrical contact is made.
Attempt to wiggle the molded portion of each connector on J5-J8. If properly tightened, the molded portion should not move. Also, examined each Shear Beam Load
Cell’s readings via the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4, LOAD
displays and determine if the readings are reasonable. Note that it is possible to have
only two sensors carrying all of the platform load due to fit between the platform and
support structure (this is normal).
2. Wiring leading to one of the Shear Beam Load Cells is damaged. Examine each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4,
LOAD displays and determine if the readings are reasonable and responsive to slight
downward pressure above the sensor being viewed. Carefully inspect sensor wiring
where it passes through cable clamps for signs of damage. Inspect wiring where
damage to the channel is apparent. If damage to the sensor’s cordset is found,
replace the appropriate Shear Beam Load Cell since the cordset is not serviceable
(connector is molded for moisture resistance; cordset is soldered into sensor
beneath welded stainless steel cover).
3. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells was not assembled properly during installation.
Examine each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4, LOAD displays and determine if the readings are reasonable. It is
often helpful to apply slight downward pressure above the sensor being examined
and observe that its output increases (increasing force measurement; decreasing
means the sensor is mounted upside-down). Compare the order of assembly to the
detail on the Installation Drawing and ensure that the only contact between the platform and the support is through the sensor bodies (nothing else touches except
wires). Re-assemble according to print if necessary.

Load Cells. Failure to regard the notes in the Installation guide can result in large offaxis forces on the sensors (which disturb the primary measurement axis readings).
Loosen all fasteners and sequentially torque them as recommended in the Installation guide (new fasteners are recommended to achieve proper torque).
5. Damage to the platform or support structure has occurred or one of the components
is out-of-tolerance (not planar). When the fasteners are torqued to specification, the
sensors are disturbed by large off-axis forces (which disturb the primary measurement axis readings). Loosen all fasteners and observe whether the platform or support were drawn-up by the fasteners (they should both be planar and match up
accurately). Resolution is to replace the damaged or faulty component. Watch for
Shear Beam Load Cell damage (yield) as a result of this difficulty.
6. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells is contaminated by debris or moisture. Examine
each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, CELL
1-4, LOAD displays and determine if the readings are reasonable and stable (not
changing by more than +
Lack of measurement stability is a key indication of contamination. Unplug the
appropriate connector (J5 is CELL 1, J6 is CELL 2, J7 is CELL 3, and J8 is CELL 4)
and inspect for dirt or moisture. Look carefully into the female connector on the sensor’s cordset for evidence of contamination. Debris should be brushed away with a
soft bristle brush (do not introduce any cleaners as they will leave conductive residue). Moisture should be allowed to evaporate or accelerated with a heat-gun (use
low heat and be carefully to not melt connector materials). Moisture intrusion into the
molded portion of the connector (capillary action into the wire bundle) or the Shear
Beam Load Cell itself will require replacement of the sensor.
7. One of the Shear Beam Load Cells has been mechanically damaged (yielded). Any
Shear Beam Load Cell that is physically deformed or has damage to one of the stainless steel covers should be replaced immediately. It is also possible to have invisible
mechanical damage resulting from an extreme overload (>6000lbs [>2722kg]). This
can be detected by removing all fasteners that mount the platform and supporting
the platform on two saw-horses or barrels (no weight resting on the Shear Beam
Load Cells). Examine each sensor’s reading using the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the
DIAGNOSTICS, CELL 1-4, LOAD displays and observe whether the unloaded sensors read with +
sive force when physically unloaded.
8. The LSS Module is suspect. Interchange the Shear Beam Load Cell connections (J5J8) and observe the results via the JLG Analyzer. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS,
CELL 1-4, LOAD displays and observe the readings. If the problem seems to remain
with a particular sensor, carefully re-examine the issues above. If the problems
seems to remain with a particular LSS Module channel, substitute another module.
15lbs (±7kg) of zero (individually). Replace sensors that read exces-
2lbs (±1kg) (without the influence of vibration or wind).

The Visual and Audible Overload Warnings fail to sound
when platform is loaded
beyond Rated Load, or when
simulated by unplugging a
Shear Beam Load Cell from the
LSS Module. Controls remain
functional at Platform and
Ground Control positions.
The Visual and Audible Overload Warnings sound even
when the platform is empty.
Controls are prevented in the
same manner as when overloaded.

The Host Control System is failing to regard the overload signal from the LSS Module, or
the signal is shorted.
1. The Load Sensing System must be enabled within the Host Control System. Plug
the JLG Analyzer into the Host Control System, enter the Access Level 1 password
(33271), and examine the MACHINE SETUP, LOAD sub-menu. The selection
“2=CUTOUT PLT” should be displayed for European Community compliance (platform controls prevented during overload, ground controls remain operational). In
country- or customer-specific circumstance, the selection “3=CUTOUT ALL” is used
(platform and ground controls prevented during overload).
2. The signal between the LSS Module and the Host Control System is shorted. The
Platform Module’s J8-6 is an input, and it connected to the J1-5 output on the LSS
Module To examine the status of this signal, plug the JLG Analyzer into the Host
Control System, enter the Access Level 1 password (33271), and examine the
DIAGNOSTICS, LOAD display. The display will indicate “OK” when the Platform
Module’s input is energized (approximately 12V), and “OVERLOADED” when it is
de-energized (0V). Refer to the Wiring Diagram for Load Sensing System for details
3. Observe the LSS Module’s assessment of overload using the JLG Analyzer plugged
into the LSS Module’s connection. Proceed to the DIAGNOSTICS, OVERLOADED?
display. The display should indicate “OVERLOADED? N” when the platform is
empty, and “OVERLOADED? Y” when the platform is overloaded. If the assessment
is improper, the difficulty may be a result of a General or Measurement Performance
issue. Review the Possible Resolutions under those categories.
4. If the LSS Module’s J1-5 Output does not appears to coincide with the DIAGNOSTICS, OVERLOADED? display, then the LSS Module is suspect. Substitute to determine cause of failure.
The LSS Module is un-powered, un-calibrated, or is experiencing a Measurement Performance difficulty. Alternately, the Host Control System is not receiving the proper signal from
the LSS Module.
1. Ensure that the LSS Module is powered. The LSS Module’s LED will be lit or flash if
the module is powered. If not, ensure that approximately 12V is present between J11 and J1-2 on the LSS Module (J1-1 is positive). Trace the Ignition and Ground supply wires into the Platform Console Box’s Wiring Harness using the Wiring Diagram
to locate the difficulty.
2. Plug a JLG Analyzer into the LSS Module’s connection and ensure that the Host
Control System is powered-up. When HELP:PRESS ENTER is displayed, press the
ENTER key on the Analyzer. If “EVERYTHING OK” is displayed, it is probable that
the Overload Signal from the LSS Module is not reaching the Host Control System.
This signal is present on LSS Module’s J1-5 and is approximately 12V normally, and
0V during an overload. This signal eventually reaches the Platform Module’s J8-6.
Refer to the Wiring Diagram for wire color, number, and terminal information.
3. If the Analyzer displayed “OVERLOADED” in the previous step, press the ENTER
key again. If “NO CAL” is displayed, the Load Sensing System has not been properly calibrated. Refer to the Calibration portion of this manual.
4. If another fault is displayed, refer to the portion of this manual that describes Fault
Messages and their causes.
5. The difficulty may be a result of a Measurement Performance issue. Review the Possible Resolutions under those categories.

The Ground Audible Warning
fails to sound, but the Platform
Audible Warning sounds properly.
Controls remain functional at
the Ground Control position
during an overload, or when
simulated by unplugging a
Shear Beam from the LSS
Module. The Control at the
Platform Control position are
prevented when using the
engine, but not when using the
Auxiliary Power Unit.
The Host Control System’s Ground Alarm is missing or improperly installed. Verify that the
device is mounted. Verify wiring from the Main Terminal Box and Ground Module according
to the proper Host Control System documentation. The Ground Alarm is energized from
J11-1 on the Ground Module (approximately 12V). Ensure that the ground termination is
proper (0V).
The Host Control System is configured to prevent platform controls only in the event of
overload (as required for EN280 compliance). Alternately, the Host Control System can be
configured to prevent ground and platform controls for country- or customer-specific circumstances.
Plug the JLG Analyzer into the LSS Module’s connection and enter the Access Level 1
password (33271). Proceed to the MACHINE SETUP, LOAD sub-menu. Set this parameter
to “2=CUTOUT PLT” to prevent platform controls in the event of overload. Set this parameter to “3=CUTOUT ALL” to prevent platform and ground controls in the event of overload.
