Model 944E

Origin 3/04

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 JLG 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 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:

ï boom extend letters (5)

ï boom angle indicator (6)

ï transfer carriage extension indicator (7)

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.

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.
