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.)

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. 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.
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 self-levelling 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.

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.

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.
4.10 SHUT DOWN AND PARK
WHEN PARKING THE MACHINE ON A SLOPE OR UNEVEN GROUND
WITH THE OUTRIGGERS RETRACTED, PARK WITH THE TRACKS IN
THE FULLY WIDENED POSITION AND BLOCK THE TRACKS USING
WEDGES TO PREVENT MACHINE MOVEMENTS.
1. Drive machine to a reasonably well protected area.
2. Ensure the boom and jib are in the stowed (aligned)
position.
3. Remove all load and allow engine to operate 3-5
minutes at LOW setting to permit reduction of internal engine temperatures.
4. Shut down the gas/diesel/electric engine with the
same button on the platform/remote control station
used to start it. Complete machine shut down will
take approximately 1 minute, LCD display OFF.
5. At ground and platform controls, push in the emer-
gency stop buttons. remove the key at the ground
controls, and turn off the key at the engine.
6. Close the platform control console lid. If necessary

7. If machine is to be shut down for long periods of
time, turn the battery disconnect switch, RED handle
located on the electrical/battery tray housing, to the
POWER OFF position. (photos below and next page)
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.

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.
5-18– JLG Lift –3128791
SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
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.
3128791– JLG Lift –5-19
SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
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.
