SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
3120825 – JLG Sizzor – 4-3
4.5 LEVELING JACKS (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: The machine may be equipped with leveling jacks
enabling the operator to level the machine on
uneven surfaces.
Lower leveling jacks until the bubble level located on the
platform of the machine reads level. The tilt warning light
and the tilt warning alarm must not be on. When using lev-
eling jacks, always deploy all four.
NOTE: The operational characteristics on machines built
before serial number 0200076446 are as follows:
All 4 leveling jacks must be deployed to permit lift
function above 8 m (26 ft).
The operational characteristics on machines built
after, and including, serial number 0200076446 are
as follows:
Lift function is permitted to full height with all 4 level-
ing jacks retracted or all 4 leveling jacks deployed. If
using leveling jacks all 4 must be deployed before
lifting is permitted.
IT IS AN UNSAFE PRACTICE TO LIFT THE PLATFORM OF THE
MACHINE IF THE TILT WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND/OR THE TILT
WARNING ALARM IS SOUNDING. BE SURE AND USE LEVELING
JACKS TO LEVEL MACHINE BEFORE LIFTING.
4.6 MECHANICAL PLATFORM EXTENSION
(OPTIONAL)
The machine may be equipped with a mechanically
extendable deck, adding 1.2 m (4 ft.) to the front of the
platform, giving the operator better access to worksites.
The deck extension is manually controlled by a pair of
handles connected to latching rods in the platform railing.
With the handles in the down (vertical) position, the latch-
ing rods are positioned into a pair of holes in the platform
deck, securing the extendable portion of the deck in either
the extended or retracted position. With the handles in the
up (horizontal) position, the latching rods are positioned
above the platform deck, allowing the extendable deck to
be extended or retracted.
