4.1DESCRIPTION
This machine is a mobile elevating work platform used to position personnel, along with their necessary tools and materials at
work locations.
The primary operator control console is in the platform. From this
control console, 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 355 degree non-continuous. The machine has a
Ground Control Console which will override the Platform Control
Console. Ground Controls operate all functions except drive and
steer, 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.
31216334-1
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
4.2BOOM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND
LIMITATIONS
Capacities
Raising boom above horizontal with or without any load in platform, is based on the following criteria:
1. Machine is positioned on a smooth, firm and level surface.
2. Load is within manufacturers rated design capacity.
3. All machine systems are functioning properly.
4. Machine is as originally equipped from JLG.
Stability
Machine stability is based on two (2) conditions which are called
FORWARD and BACKWARD stability. The machine’s position of
least FORWARD stability is shown in Figure 4-1., and its position
of least BACKWARD stability is shown in Figure 4-2.
TO AVOID FORWARD OR BACKWARD TIPPING, DO NOT OVERLOAD MACHINE OR OPERATE THE MACHINE ON AN OUT-OF-LEVEL SURFACE.
4.3ENGINE OPERATION
NOTE:When operating a machine at high altitudes, a decrease in
machine performance may occur due to a decrease in air density.
NOTE:When operating a machine at high ambient temperatures, a
decrease in machine performance and an increase in engine
coolant temperature may occur.
NOTE:Contact JLG Customer Service for operation under abnormal
conditions.
There are three engine starting modes: Auto Start, Operator Start,
and Jump Start. In the Auto Start mode, an audible warning will
sound before the GenSet will start the engine. The other two
modes require the operator to engage the Start switch to begin
the engine start sequence.
NOTE:The engine is started by the genset, not the engine starter. The
engine starter only functions for Jump Start operation.
4-23121633
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
Auto Start Mode
The JLG Control System will automatically start the engine when
the Generator Enable switch is in the On position and the JLG
Control system reads the battery stack state of charge is in a Low
Discharged State and an engine start is required to supply a
charge to the battery stack.
Operator Start
NOTE:Initial starting should always be performed
from the Ground Control console.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START PROMPTLY, DO NOT CRANK FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. IF
ENGINE FAILS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, REFER TO ENGINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL.
1. Turn key of Platform/Ground Select switch to
Ground.
2. Pull the Power/Emergency Stop switch to On.
3. Push the Engine Start switch.
NOTE:After turning on ignition, the JLG Control System
will wait until glow plug indicator light goes out
before cranking engine.
ALLOW ENGINE TO WARM-UP FOR A FEW MINUTES AT LOW SPEED BEFORE APPLYING
ANY LOAD.
4. After engine has had sufficient time to warm
up, push in the Power/Emergency Stop switch
and shut engine off.
31216334-3

Shutdown Procedure
If the genset is in automatic mode, the engine will shut down
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.
4-43121633
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
Jump Starting
The JLG Control System allows the operator to jump start the
engine from an external battery in order to recover from a battery
stack voltage that is too low in power for the GenSet module to
start the engine. The JLG Control System senses the machine is in
Jump Start mode when an external battery has been connected
to machine jump terminal.
To start the machine in Jump Start Mode:
1. Connect the positive battery contact of the external battery
to the machine jump terminal.
2. Connect the negative battery contact of the external battery
to a grounded location on the machine.
3. Refer to Operator Start and start the engine.
Fuel Reserve / Shut-Off System (Diesel Engines Only)
The Fuel Shutoff System senses when the fuel level is getting low
and automatically shuts the engine down before the fuel tank is
emptied.
Depending upon machine setup, the machine will either keep
the engine shut down until the fuel tank is refilled or the operator
will be able to restart and run the engine for an additional minute. After 2 minutes, the engine will shut off for a second time
and the machine will return to the engine shutdown mode until
the fuel tank is refilled.

See Figure 4-3., Grade and Side Slopes
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.
DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOOM OUT OF TRANSPORT MODE 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 IN THE OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS SECTION
OF THIS MANUAL.
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, LOCATE THE BLACK/WHITE ORIENTATION ARROWS ON BOTH THE
CHASSIS AND THE PLATFORM CONTROLS. MOVE THE DRIVE CONTROLS IN A DIRECTION MATCHING THE DIRECTIONAL ARROWS FOR THE INTENDED DIRECTION OF
