Emergency Operations
Towing a disabled vehicle should only be attempted after exhausting all other
options. Every effort should be made to repair the vehicle and move it under its own
power. Towing the vehicle improperly can result in damage to the vehicle drivetrain.
IMPORTANT! In the event the vehicle is disabled and cannot be moved under
engine power, the situation must be properly evaluated and dealt with on an
individual basis. Contact your local Lull Distributor or the JLG Service Department
at (877) 554-5438 or (717) 485-6657 for specific instructions for your particular
situation.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle a short distance to avoid a potentially hazardous
situation such as being in an unsafe area on the worksite or on a roadway, prepare
the vehicle for towing as follows;
1. Remove the load from the vehicle.
2. Fully retract the transfer carriage.
3. Fully retract the boom. Position the forks approximately 24" above the
ground. Refer to ìEmergency Boom Loweringî on page 98 for proper pro-
cedure if required.
4. Block all four wheels to prevent any unexpected movement of the vehicle
after the parking brake is disabled.
5. Position the towing vehicle in place. Attach a rigid tow bar to the disabled
vehicle.
6. Remove the cover (1) from the cab floor to gain access to the valve plate
under the cab.
7. Attach a remote portable hydraulic pressurizing unit to the park brake
gauge port (2) on the accumulator charge/secondary function valve (3)
located under the cab floor.
8. Clear the area of any unnecessary personnel.
9. Have an operator seated in the seat.
10. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (with the engine not running),
release the park brake (park brake switch OFF).
