SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 DESCRIPTION

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.

4.2 BOOM 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 4-4.)

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. 21° 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.
3128791 – JLG Lift – 4-9
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.

4.6 OUTRIGGER 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.

4.8 BATTERY CHARGING - GAS/DIESEL/AC­ELECTRIC
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 non­insulated 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 dam­aged 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.
3128791 – JLG Lift – 4-19
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

4.9 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 -8 hrs. - 120V AC 4 hrs. - 220V AC
• 80% Recharge - 4 hrs. - 120V AC
2 hrs. - 220V AC
• The batteries can be charged during machine operation,
(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 lithium-ion 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 venti­lation, 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
3128791 – JLG Lift – 4-21
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
socket is old and not grounded. In this 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 LIFTING AND TIE DOWN

Lifting

1. Determine gross weight of machine, refer to the
serial number tag, or weigh the individual unit to find out the gross vehicle weight.
2. Place the booms in the stowed position and properly
aligned. All outriggers are fully retracted and the tracks are fully widened.
3. Remove all loose items from the machine.
4. Properly adjust the rigging to prevent damage to the
machine and so the machine remains level.
5. The width of the slings must not exceed 2.36 in. (60
mm), the width of the chains must not exceed .984 in. (25 mm), the diameter of the ropes must not exceed .984 in. (25 mm) in order not to exert a pres­sure in an abnormal direction on the outrigger plate.
THE USE OF ROPES, CHAINS OR SLINGS WITH LENGTH LESS THAN 10 ft. (3m) COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE OUTRIGGERS.
To lift the machine a separate sling must be attached to each outrigger using the appropriate lifting points as indicated in the photo.
As the weight of the machine is not spread equally over the four outriggers, the minimum required capacity of the four ropes, chains or slings used must be: no less than 4,409 lb. (2000 kg) and their length no less than 10 ft. (3m) and all iden-
tical.

SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

5.5 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK - HANDLING IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS

The battery cells must be handled correctly in order to ensure proper and safe use. However, if mistakes are made in han­dling the cells, causing explosion or venting, the user has to be equipped so as to be able to face this emergency. The aim of this section is to adequately train the user on safe handling of the cells that have been subjected to extreme conditions.
These Conditions Are As Follows:
1. Hot cells
2. Cells that have released substances or vented
3. Exploded cells
4. Fire enveloping the lithium batteries

Procedure For Handling Hot Cells

As soon as it has been established that the temperature of a cell has risen considerably, the first action is the evacuation of personnel from the affected area. The area has to be isolated and nobody can enter if not strictly necessary.
If possible, before leaving the area, the person who first iden­tified the problem has to check if there is an external short-cir­cuit and resolve it as soon as possible. After the short-circuit has been resolved, the cell will start to cool down. However, the area has to remain isolated until the cell reaches ambient temperature and is removed from the area. The temperature of the cell has to be checked periodically using a remote sen­sor such as an infrared sensor. If the cell remains hot the fol­lowing actions must be assessed.
Minimum Equipment Required:
• Infrared temperature probe
• Safety glasses
• Hard hat with impact resistant face visor
• Non-conductive pliers
• Hand, arm and body protection
5-16 – JLG Lift – 3128791
SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Start Procedure;
1. Evacuate the area as soon as abnormal cell temperature
has been established.
2. Periodically check the temperature of the cell using a
remote sensor for the first two hours or until one of the following cases occur:
• The cell starts to cool down
• The cell vents
• The cell explodes
3. If the cell starts cooling, check the temperature every
hour until ambient temperature has been reached.
4. If a temperature sensor is not available, do not handle
the cell for a minimum of 24 hours.
5. Remove the cell from the work area when ambient tem-
perature has been reached and return to normal opera­tions.
6. Dispose of the cell in accordance with existing legislation
(in the country in question) on hazardous materials.
The procedures in cases of venting or explosion are examined in the following paragraphs.

Procedure For Handling Vented Cells

In normal conditions a cell does not show leaks or venting, however a cell may vent or release substances if the critical temperature is reached or if the protective glass.metal seal breaks due to severe mechanical conditions.
The severity of the leak consequent to venting ranges from slight leak around the seal to a violent leak of substances through the vent. In some cases, if the cell is not plugged, it may behave as a projectile.
The electrolyte inside the cell may cause very serious irrita­tion to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. In addition, venting may cause the emission of highly corrosive vapors in the work environment. In this case, all protective equipment suited to limit exposure to toxic fumes must be available.
Minimum Equipment Required;
• Class D fire extinguisher
• Eye protection or face shield
• Respirator with filter for hydrochloric acid and sulphur dioxide
• Neoprene gloves
• Acid.resistant lab coats
• Baking soda, calcium oxide or acid absorbent in kit form
•Vermiculite
•Plastic bags
3128791 – JLG Lift – 5-17
SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Start Procedure;
In the event of electrolyte release from the cells, proceed as follows:
1. Evacuate the people exposed to fumes from the area.
2. Air the environment until the complete removal of the cell
and until the characteristic pungent odour has disap­peared.
3. If the cell is too hot, allow it to cool to ambient tempera-
ture before handling it (see “Procedure For Handling Hot Cells” on page 16).
4. Wear safety equipment: coat, gloves, mask and filters,
and move the cell to a well-ventilated area.
5. Place every cell in a sealable plastic bag and remove the
excess air, then seal the bag.
6. Place a cup of vermiculite in a second bag, place the first
bag in the second and seal it.
7. Place everything in a third bag with some baking soda
and seal the bag.
8. Absorb and collect the leaked electrolyte with absorbent
material or baking soda.
9. Place the absorbent material in a bag and seal it.
10. Clean the area with plenty of water.
11. Dispose of the hazardous material in accordance with
the local legislation in force.
First Aid In The Event Of Contact With The Electrolyte
EYES
Immediately wash the eyes in abundant running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping the eyelids open and flushing the eye and back of the eyelid. Immediately seek medical help.
SKIN
Wash in cold water under a shower, remove contaminated garments. Continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical help where necessary.
RESPIRATORY TRACT
Move the person(s) outdoors into the open air. If the per­son(s) has difficulty breathing, have oxygen administered by trained personnel. If breathing stops, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and immediately seek emergency medical help.

Procedure For Exploded Cells

The explosion of lithium batteries is not likely, it is a rare event that only occurs when an abnormal condition causes the tem­perature to rise and reach a critical point. However, in the event of lithium battery explosion the environment will quickly be filled with dense white smoke which will cause serious irri­tation to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Precautions must be taken to limit exposure to these fumes.
Minimum Equipment Required;
• Class D fire extinguisher
• Class ABC extinguisher for any secondary fires
• Eye protection or face shield
• Respirator with filter for hydrochloric acid and sulphur dioxide
• Neoprene gloves
• Acid.resistant lab coats
• Baking soda, calcium oxide or acid absorbent in kit form
•Vermiculite
•Plastic bags
Start Procedure;
In the event of cell explosion, proceed as follows:
1. Evacuate personnel from the areas contaminated by
smoke.
2. Ventilate the rooms until the cell has been removed from
the area and until the characteristic pungent odour has disappeared.
3. Even if this is quite unlikely, there may be fires as a con-
sequence of the explosion. The ways these emergencies are faced are described in the following paragraph.
4. The exploded cell may be hot. Allow it to cool down to
ambient temperature before handling it (see Procedure for handling hot cells).
5. Wear safety equipment: coat, gloves, mask and filters.
6. In case of explosion the area around the cell will be cov-
ered by a black carbonaceous material which contains metallic parts of the cell. Cover the carbonaceous resi­dues with a 50/50 mixture of baking soda and vermiculite or other absorbent material. Avoid contact between the metallic residues and charged cells, as this condition may cause a short.circuit.
7. Place the contaminated material in a sealable plastic bag
and remove the excess air.
8. Seal the bag.

9. Place a cup of vermiculite in a second bag, place the first
bag in the second and seal it.
10. Clean the area with plenty of water and keep cleaning
with water and soap.
11. Dispose of the hazardous material in accordance with
the local legislation in force.
First Aid In The Event Of Contact With The Electrolyte;
EYES
Immediately wash the eyes in abundant running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping the eyelids open and flushing the eye and back of the eyelid. Immediately seek medical help.
SKIN
Wash in cold water under a shower, remove contaminated garments. Continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical help where necessary.
RESPIRATORY TRACT
Move the casualty outdoors into the open air. If the person(s) has difficulty breathing, have oxygen administered by trained personnel. If breathing stops, apply mouth-to-mouth resusci­tation and immediately seek emergency medical help.

Lithium Battery Fire

All metals may burn in certain conditions, which depend on certain factors such as: physical state, presence of oxidising atmospheres and severity of the source of ignition. Alkali met­als such as lithium may burn in normal atmospheres. In addi­tion, lithium reacts explosively with water to form hydrogen and the presence of small quantities of water may set fire to the material and the hydrogen gas that is released. Once metal fires start they are very hard to extinguish with ordinary equipment. This is partly due to the strong heat produced by the burning metal, whose temperature may reach 1832° F (1000° C). In addition, lithium may react with certain materials commonly used in fire extinguishers, like water and CO2. Special extinguishers are required, designed for controlling and extinguishing lithium fires.
In particular, graphite-based extinguishers (Lith-x) are used. Usually these extinguishers work by forming a crust or a layer of material on the surface of the burning metal. Lith-x, which is a common graphite-based agent, may be used with an extinguisher or spread over the fire. In the event of lithium fire, the room may fill with a dense white smoke, mostly formed by lithium oxide and other metal oxides. This condition may cause serious damage to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. All precautions needed to limit exposure to these fumes must be adopted. It should be noted that this procedure is applica­ble only to fires on individual cells. Larger fires have to be managed only by professionally trained personnel.
