• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than posi­tioning personnel, their tools, and equipment.

• Never operate a machine that is not working properly. If a
malfunctions occurs, shut down the machine.

• Never slam a control switch or lever through neutral to an
opposite direction. Always return switch to neutral and
stop before moving the switch to the next function. Oper­ate controls with slow and even pressure.

• Do not allow personnel to tamper with or operate the
machine from the ground with personnel in the platform,
except in an emergency.

• Do not carry materials directly on platform railing. Contact
JLG for approved material handling accessories.

• When two or more persons are in the platform, the opera­tor shall be responsible for all machine operations.

• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed and
never left hanging by their cord from the platform work
area.

• Supplies or tools which extend outside the platform are
prohibited unless approved by JLG.

• When driving, always position boom over rear axle in line
with the direction of travel. Remember, if boom is over the
front axle, steer and drive functions will be reversed.

• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing,
pulling, or by using boom functions. Only pull the unit
from the tie-down lugs on the chassis.

• Do not place boom or platform against any structure to
steady the platform or to support the structure.

• Stow boom and shut off all power before leaving machine.

Trip and Fall Hazards

During operation, occupants in the platform must wear a full
body harness with a lanyard attached to an authorized lan­yard anchorage point. Attach only one (1) lanyard per lan­yard anchorage point.

3121210 – JLG Lift – 1-3

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before operating the machine, make sure all gates are
closed and fastened in their proper position.

• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all
times. Never use ladders, boxes, steps, planks, or similar
items on platform to provide additional reach.

• Never use the boom assembly to enter or leave the plat­form.

• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving platform.
Be sure that the boom is fully lowered. It may be neces­sary to telescope out to position the platform closer to the
ground for entry/exit. Face the machine, maintain “three
point contact” with the machine, using two hands and one
foot or two feet and one hand during entry and exit.

Electrocution Hazards

• This machine is not insulated and does not provide pro­tection from contact or proximity to electrical current.

1-4 – JLG Lift – 3121210

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Table 1-1. Minimum Approach Distances (M.A.D.)

• Maintain distance from electrical lines, apparatus, or any
energized (exposed or insulated) parts according to the
Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) as shown in Table 1-

1.

• Allow for machine movement and electrical line swaying.

Voltage Range

(Phase to Phase)

SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

2. Platform Overload (If equipped)

Indicates the platform has been overloaded.

3. 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.

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 at an inconvenient place.

d. There is some other fault in one of the circuits. If so

determine 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.

NOTE: The engine will automatically shut down under the follow-

ing conditions:

High Engine Oil Temperature
Low Engine Oil Pressure
Engine Overspeed
Generator Overvoltage

4. Posi-Track Indicator

This indicator lights to show that posi-traction is operat­ing.

3-14 – JLG Lift – 3121210

SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

5. 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.

FOOTSWITCH MUST BE ADJUSTED IF FUNCTIONS ACTIVATE WHEN
SWITCH ONLY OPERATES WITHIN LAST 1/4" OF TRAVEL, TOP OR BOT­TOM.

6. Low Battery Indicator

Indicates the batteries are low and need to be charged.

3121210 – JLG Lift – 3-15

SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

7. Creep Speed Indicator

When the Function Speed Control is turned to the creep
position, the indicator acts as a reminder that all func­tions are set to the slowest speed.

8. Drive Orientation Indicator

When the boom is swung beyond the rear drive tires or
further in either direction, the Drive Orientation indicator
will illuminate when the drive function is selected. This is
a signal for the operator to activate the Drive Orientation
Override Switch and verify the drive control direction is
correct.

9. Soft Touch Indicator (If Equipped)

When illuminated (Yellow) the Soft Touch bumper is
against an object. All controls are disabled until the
override button is pushed, at which time controls are
active in the Creep mode.

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 DESCRIPTION

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 upper or lower boom or swing the
boom to the left or right. Standard boom swing is 360 degree
non-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 Upper
and Lower 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.

4.2 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS

Capacities

The boom can be raised above horizontal with or without any
load in platform, if:

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. Proper tire pressure.

5. Machine is as originally equipped from JLG.

3121210 – JLG Lift – 4-1

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

Stability

Machine stability is based on two positions which are called
FORWARD and BACKWARD stability. The machines position
of least FORWARD stability is shown in Figure 4-1., Position
of Least Forward Stability, and its position of least BACK­WARD stability is shown in Figure 4-2., Position of Least
Backward Stability.

TO AVOID FORWARD OR BACKWARD TIPPING, DO NOT OVERLOAD
MACHINE OR OPERATE THE MACHINE ON AN OUT-OF-LEVEL SURFACE.

4.3 MOTOR OPERATION

Power/Emergency Stop

The Power/Emergency Stop switch, when pulled out (on),
provides battery power 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 switch out, the
machine will perform a diagnostic check of the various 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.
