4.1DESCRIPTION
This machine is a 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. The
operator can control drive, steer, boom/platform functions
and outriggers. The machine has a Ground Control Station
which will override the Platform Control Station. Ground
Controls operate boom and platform functions. They 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. The ground control station is to be used for a Pre-Start
Inspection too.
This machine is equipped with an ALL MOTION alarm warning system to alert other personnel in the work area of any
machine movement during operation. The motion alarm
system is activated during machine function movement
such as track, boom, or outrigger operation.
4.2BOOM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND
LIMITATIONS
Capacities
The boom can be raised from the transport position with or
without any load in platform, if:
• Machine is positioned on a firm surface and outriggers
set properly with the outrigger pads on horizontal surfaces.
• Load is within manufacturer's rated capacity.
• All machine systems are functioning properly.
Stability
In addition to the conditions listed above under Capacities,
machine stability also depends on the following:
• A work surface capable of supporting the machine and
a slope within machine leveling specifications.
• Platform is only operated within its work area specification for rated load and boom reach. (See Figure 4-5.)

SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
Jib Position for Travelling
It is necessary to raise the JIB arm when driving up or down
slopes that exceed 10° and but less than the max. 15° to prevent the jib from contacting the ground.
ONLY PERFORM THIS OPERATION WHEN IT IS NECESSARY. IN ALL OTHER
SITUATIONS, DRIVE WITH THE BOOM AND JIB FULLY LOWERED AND
ALIGNED.
The permission to use the JIB is indicated
by the icon in position 5 on the remote
control display panel.
Before lifting the jib arm in the traversing
phase, the following conditions must be
verified:
• All outriggers must be lifted from the ground
• There must be no operator in the basket
• The platform/remote control box must be removed
from the platform and used from the ground.
NOTE: The aerial part safety device by-pass key must not
have been activated after the machine has been
closed and aligned.
If any of these conditions have not been met, the use of the
JIB is not possible and one of the following error displays
appears.
4-10– JLG Lift –3121636
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
After these conditions have been met, make sure that there
are no obstacles in the Jib working area and operate as follows:
• Activate the joystick for moving the JIB arm. If a different
joystick is activated an error message will appear on the
display.
• After the slope has been passed, for which the jib had to
be raised, fully lower the jib and continue travelling.
• With the JIB raised, ALWAYS travel at minimum speed
and keep the JIB as near as possible to the ground.
4.6OUTRIGGER OPERATION
BE CERTAIN THAT THE OUTRIGGER PADS ARE SET ON A FIRM AND HORIZONTAL SURFACE. DO NOT SET THE OUTRIGGER PADS ON INCLINED, VERTICAL, OR SLIPPERY SURFACES.
THE OUTRIGGERS WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE BOOM AND JIB ARE
COMPLETELY LOWERED, RETRACTED AND ALIGNED WITH THE BASE.
NOTE: The base and boom/jib must be aligned and stowed
before this function will operate, see Section 4.4, BASE
AND BOOM/JIB ALIGNMENT.
If one of the outriggers does not come into contact with the
ground while being set, the engine will turn off or, the selflevelling attempt will stop. This situation may be due to the
slope on which the outriggers are being set up on exceeds
the allowed slope for proper set up at the end of the stabilization phase. If the machine is to be lifted even further from
the ground after the outriggers are properly set, push and
hold the outrigger automatic set and level button.

SETTING THE OUTRIGGERS AND LEVELING ITSELF. OPERATION OF THE
BOOM AND PLATFORM FUNCTIONS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THIS CONDITION. THE MACHINE IS CONSIDERED STABILIZED WHEN LEVELED TO
LESS THAN 1° AND THE TRACKS ARE LIFTED AT LEAST 2 IN. (5 CM) FROM
THE GROUND.
STABILIZING THE MACHINE WITH AN INCLINATION DEGREE HIGHER
THAN THE ONE ALLOWED COULD CAUSE INSTABILITY OF THE MACHINE
If the platform ladder is higher than 16 in. (40 cm) off the
ground when the ladder is lowered, when setting the
machine on outriggers from the ground position, lower the
outriggers until the ladder is less than 16 in. (40 cm) off the
ground. Then enter the platform to properly set the machine
up on outriggers.

4.9BATTERY CHARGING - GAS/AC-ELECTRIC
NOTE: Be sure that the machine is parked in a well ventilated
area free of flames and sparks.
• Only plug the charger into a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not use ground adaptors or modify plug. Do not
touch non-insulated portion of output connector or
non-insulated battery terminal.
• Always disconnect the AC supply before making or
breaking the connections to the battery.
• Do not open or disassemble charger.
• Do not operate charger if the AC supply cord is dam-
aged or if the charger has been damaged in any way.
Battery Charging - Daily
BEFORE CONNECTING THE BUILT-IN CHARGER TO THE RECEPTACLE,
ENSURE THE KEY ON THE ENGINE IS POSITIONED TO OFF.
The machine has a built-in battery charger. To activate this
feature connect the machine to an appropriately grounded
AC receptacle and activate the charging switch behind the
clear plastic door. (See photo) Verify the battery disconnect
switch is on.

4.10 BATTERY CHARGING - LITHIUM-ION MACHINE
To check the battery condition on the lithium
ION equipped machine, power up the
machine and use the special indicator shown
at position 8 on the platform control station
LCD display.
or;
Check the charge indicator (item 2) on
the side of the Lithium-Ion battery pack.
This indicator shows the current charge
state of the lithium-ion battery pack as
follows;
Red Steady: first phase of recharging.
Red flashing: second phase of recharging.
Orange/yellow steady: third phase of recharging.
Orange/yellow flashing (4s ON - 1s OFF): equalization/
standby phase. When you're in this phase, batteries can be
considered charged. The charger is doing the batteries voltage equalization at first and then it's in standby maintaining
batteries at max charge. The time for equalization can be of
some hours but it's not necessary to complete it in order to
consider the recharge phase completed.
If the machine is powered on while charging,
the LCD display on the platform control station also shows the machine charge indicator.
Charging the Battery Pack
Approximate time required to fully recharge the battery
pack:
• Full Recharge - 4 hrs. - 120V AC
• 80% Recharge - 2 hrs. - 120V AC
• The batteries can be charged during machine opera-
tion, (obviously the charging times in this case will be longer).
• The batteries can be charged when they are not fully
depleted.
• If the charge is less than 20% an audible warning signal
will be activated whenever the electric motor is started,
to alert the user to charge the machine.
• If the charge is less than 10%, in addition to the audible
warning signal, reduced speed is activated and an icon
comes on in position 4 on the platform station LCD display.
To start charging the battery connect the main AC power
supply to the AC socket (item 1 - photo) located on the
right rear of the machine next to the electric engine.
After a few seconds the charge indicator (item 2 - photo)
located on the righthand side of the machine on the lithiumion battery pack turns red, meaning the battery has started
charging.

THE BATTERY CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH THE LIFT WAS DESIGNED TO
ENSURE SAFE AND RELIABLE PERFORMANCE. IT IS ALREADY FITTED ON
THE MACHINE AND DOES NOT NEED ANY ADJUSTMENT OR CONFIGURATION BY THE USER; NONETHELESS, TO AVOID INJURY AND DAMAGE TO
THE BATTERY CHARGER, THE FOLLOWING ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
MUST BE OBSERVED:
• Carefully read the installation instructions contained in
this manual. For future reference, keep the manual in a
safe place.
• Do not place the battery charger near sources of heat.
• As the battery charger is sealed and without forced ven-
tilation, its performance depends on the ambient temperature and the type of installation.
• Be certain the type of power supply available corresponds to the voltage specified and indicated on the
battery charger rating plate or in this Operation/Maintenance Manual. If any questions, contact your local JLG
Service Center or the local electrical company.
• An AC class circuit breaker can be used as protection
device for the battery charger power supply, however it
is recommended to use a class A or even better class B
device.
• In regard to safety and electromagnetic compatibility,
the battery charger features a three pin plug with
ground, which can only be plugged into an grounded
socket. If the plug does not go into the socket, most
probably the socket is old and not grounded. In this
4-22– JLG Lift –3121636
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
case, contact an electrician to have the socket replaced.
Do not use adapters to resolve ungrounded circuit plug
problems.
• Ensure the power cable is undamaged. If the cable is
worn or damaged, have it replaced immediately.
• If extensions or multiple sockets are used, make sure
that these support the total rated current.
• Disconnect the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
• Do not use the battery charger to charge the batteries
of other vehicles; the battery charger installed was specially designed to charge the type of lithium batteries
used on this machine. Do not attempt to charge any
other type of batteries.
• Do not attempt to repair the battery charger. Opening
the cover may expose the user to the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not open the battery charger, opening it may affect
the index of protection (IP) even after it has been closed
again.
• If the battery charger is not working correctly or is damaged, disconnect it immediately from the power outlet
and the battery socket and contact your local JLG Service Center.
Charge Curve
The battery charger features just one charge curve (IUIa)
plus balancing and maintenance, designed specifically for
charging the lithium-ion battery pack on this machine.
4.11 SHUT DOWN AND PARK

Loading and Unloading the Machine on Transport
Vehicles Using Ramps
The JLG platform offers high maneuverability and stability
even in travelling (stowed) configuration.
Despite this, the operator is to take safety measures even
when carrying out the simplest operations.
ALWAYS LOAD/UNLOAD THE MACHINE WITH UNDERCARRIAGE (TRACKS)
EXTENDED TO WIDEST WIDTH.
Loading
For example, follow the procedure below to load the
machine onto a truck/trailer:
• It is recommended to load/unload the machine using
the remote control while keeping away from the
machine, keeping a MINIMUM distance of 3 feet (1m).
• Park the truck/trailer on a flat surface;
• Make sure that the ramps do not exceed the maximum
inclination of 15°;
• Make sure that the ramps and the trailer have the capacity to support the machine and are free from debris or
slippery material;
• Position the ramps parallel to each other at a distance
equal to the space between the tracks;
• Climb the ramps, proceeding with the basket facing
backwards;
• When approaching the loading surface, before the
change in inclination, ALWAYS check that the JIB arm is
COMPLETELY RETRACTED. Then proceed with great care
in order to prevent sudden jolts when passing from the
sloping ramps to the truck/trailer flatbed;
• Position the machine so that none of its parts protrude
from the transport vehicle.
UnLoading
Unload the machine following the same instructions given
above.
• During travel and when changing slope, make sure not
to damage the safety devices positioned under the basket.
• If the change in inclination is excessive, adjust the angle
of the ramps or, if this is not possible, use longer ramps.
It is also possible to use the jib arm as described earlier.

2. on page 5-5).
b. Activate the swing control lever (item 11 -
Figure 5-2. on page5-5), in the desired direction of
travel while pumping the hand pump until the
turntable is aligned with the chassis.
c. Activating the lever up while pumping will swing
the platform to the clockwise.
d. Activating the lever down while pumping will
swing the platform to the counterclockwise.
NOTE: All of the following functions require the enable but-
ton (item 12 - Figure 5-2. on page 5-5) to be depressed
while pumping the hydraulic hand pump and operating the function lever.
3. Retracting the main boom (if necessary).
With the aid of an assistant, while pumping the
hand pump, activate the telescope function lever
(Item 8, Figure 5-2. on page 5-5) at the ground controls, to retract the main boom.
4. Lowering the jib (if necessary).
