Operation
1. Four Wheel Steering Mode
WARNING: NEVER use the Four Wheel Steering Mode when
traveling at high speed. Rapid turning in this mode can cause tipover. Use
only the Front Wheel Steering Mode at higher speeds and slow the vehicle when turning.
The front wheels will steer in the direction that the steering wheel is turned; the rear
wheels will steer in the opposite direction. This steering mode allows an extremely
short turning radius and enables the rear wheels to follow the tracking of the front
wheels which can be an advantage in mud and sand conditions.
OS0280
2. Front Wheel Steering Mode
The front wheels will steer in the direction that the steering wheel is turned. The rear
wheels will remain in a fixed forward position. This steering mode should be used
when loading or unloading the vehicle from a trailer and for on-highway travel at
higher speeds.

3. Crab Steering Mode
WARNING: NEVER use the Crab Steering Mode when travelling
at high speed. Rapid turning in this mode can cause tipover. Use only the
Front Wheel Steering Mode at higher speeds and slow the vehicle when
turning.
All wheels will steer in the same direction that the steering wheel is turned. This
steering mode allows the operator to move the vehicle ìsidewaysî toward the landing
point of a load. This is especially useful on a congested worksite in order to line up at
the exact spot in front of the loading location.
OS0310
Four Wheel Steer Indexing
If the vehicle does not drive ìstraight,î the steering could be ìout of phase.î Perform
the following procedure to synchronize the front and rear steering.
1. Select the four wheel steer mode with the steer mode selector.
2. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it reaches the stop.
3. Select the front wheel steer mode with the steer mode selector.
4. Turn the steering wheel to the left, about one complete revolution.
5. Select the four wheel steer mode with the steer mode selector.
6. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it reaches the stop. This
will ensure the rear wheels are fully against the right stop.
7. Select the front wheel steer mode with the steer mode selector.
8. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it reaches the stop.
9. Select the four wheel steer mode with the steer mode selector.
10. Turn the steering wheel to the left, until the wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
11. Drive the vehicle forward a short distance to check the wheel tracking.
12. The vehicle should now be properly indexed in Four Wheel Steering. If the
wheels are still out-of-phase, repeat the above procedure.

Fork Rating
All approved forks for this vehicle are marked with a maximum load capacity rating.
This rating is stamped on the left edge of the fork (1) just below the fork pivot shaft
(2). The rating is listed in U.S. pounds and based upon a 24" (610 mm) load center
(3). This rating specifies the maximum load capacity that the individual fork can
safely carry at the maximum load center (4) of 24" (610 mm)
Since forks are always used in multiples, the total rating of any combination of forks
will be the sum of their rated capacity. Other than block forks, all forks should be
used in matched pairs. Block forks should be used in matched sets.

WARNING: DO NOT exceed the total rated capacity of the spe-
cific pair of forks being used. Forks can break causing loss of load and
possible death or serious personal injury to the operator or personnel in
the area. If the total rated capacity of the forks exceeds
the vehicle, the vehicle capacity should not be exceeded.
The maximum load capacity for this vehicle is 6,000 pounds (2.721 Kg). The
matched pair or set of forks used on this vehicle should have total load ratings which
equal or exceed 6,000 pounds (2.721 Kg). When the load rating of the vehicle differs
from the load capacity of the forks, the lower value becomes the overall load
capacity.

Using the Capacity Chart
The individual capacity charts are located on the dash on the right side of the
operatorís compartment. Capacity charts are provided to assist the operator in
determining how far in front, how high and at what angle a specific load can be
safely handled with this vehicle.
IMPORTANT! Always determine whether a load chart is required whenever using an
attachment with this telescopic material handler. Reproductions of the load charts
for all attachments, available as of the date of this publication, are included in the
ìLoad Chartî section at the end of this manual. If a load chart for an attachment you
would like to use is not included in this manual, contact your local Lull Distributor or
the JLG Service Department at: (877) 554-5438 or (717) 485-6657 to confirm the
attachment you are interested in using may be used and whether a load chart is
required.
The vehicle is equipped with three indicators that will assist the operator in
determining how to accurately use the capacity chart. These indicators are:
As the boom is extended, boom extend letters (5) become visible on the left side of
the intermediate boom (8). These letters indicate the point (zone) of boom extension
and correspond to the capacity chart. For example, when the boom extend ìBî first
appears, the boom is at the point of boom extension corresponding to an arc of line
ìBî on the capacity chart.
6
AB

The boom angle indicator (6), located on the left side of the outer boom, indicates
the angle of the boom and also corresponds with the angles indicated on the
capacity chart.
The transfer carriage extension indicator (7) shows the operator the distance the
transfer carriage has moved from the fully retracted position. Use this indicator in
conjunction with the boom extend letters and the boom angle indicator to accurately
read and use the capacity charts.

Operation
To accurately use the capacity chart, the operator must first determine three
important things:
1. Weight of the load being lifted.
2. Height
3. Distance where the load will ultimately be placed in front of the front tires.
Reading Capacity Charts
Example: (1)
1. The operator has placed the load onto the forks, fully retracted the boom,
2. The operator determines that:
3. After applying the height of the structure and the distance of load place-
This condition is, however, a maximum limit for this weight, height and distance away

ï The weight
ï The height of the structure the load is to be placed upon is 27 feet
(8 meters) from ground level.
ï The distance where the load will ultimately be placed in front of the
vehicle is 13 feet (4 meters) from the front of the tires.
ï The transfer carriage will remain fully retracted (0").
ment away from the vehicle to the sample capacity chart, the operator
knows that it will be safe to place the load if the boom extend letter for zone

go below approximately 45 and the transfer carriage will remain fully
retracted.
of the load is 6,000 pounds (2.721 kg).
WARNING: DO NOT exceed rated capacities! Any attempt to lift
or carry loads in excess of those shown on the capacity chart may cause
vehicle tipover, loss of load or structural damage which could result in
death or serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT! When using the PlaceAceô transfer carriage to place a load, be sure
to refer to the appropriate load chart that depicts the operation (movement) of the
transfer carriage (1" to 80"). This chart applies to any movement of the transfer
carriage. The load charts are reproduced at the end of this manual in the ìLoad
Chartî section.
To accurately identify the load charts that apply, refer to the
following icons which are also located in the upper right
hand corner of each load chart.

How To Pick, Carry & Place A Load
To pick a load, move the forks inward or outward on the fork shaft so that they are
aligned with the openings in the pallet. Extend the boom slowly so the forks slide into
the openings in the pallet. Raise the boom so that the load is lifted.
To carry a load, position the boom so that the load is as low as possible and the
travel area is visible to the operator.
Before placing the load, use the capacity chart to determine safe boom extension
range for the applicable load. To place a load, align the forks at the level the load is
to be placed and then extend the boom slowly until the load is just above the area
where it is to be placed. Lower the boom until the pallet rests in position and the
forks are free to retract.
The transfer carriage extension can be used to place the load onto the landing point,
being certain that the load on the forks is within the transfer limits shown on the
individual capacity charts.
