EASI-CLADDER™
4 – JLG Accessory Manual – 3128112
OPERATION
The panel (or panels) is loaded on the cladding device using a telescoping
material handler or forklift. Ample space is provided between top of the
handrail and the bottom surface of the panels (resting on the cladding
device’s frame) to retract the forks. During driving or scissor lift operation,
panels are protected from shifting by four retractable stops.
The panels are moved manually from storage position onto the installing
arms. The installing arms are actuated by hydraulic cylinders controlled form
a tether mounted control box.
Pivoting telescopic supports are mounted to the cladding device’s frame.
The supports pivot to compensate for vertical misalignment between the
machine and previously installed panels. At the end of the telescoping sup-
port, two plastic plates are installed forming a “paw” that rests on the top of
the previously installed panel. The vertical surface is resting against this
panel.
The telescoping supports have built in springs that help to maintain contact
between the cladding device and the previously installed panel. Telescoping
supports are guides for panel being installed and protect it from falling
between the machine and the wall.
After telescoping supports are deployed, the installed panel is shifted to the
very end of the telescoping support with its bottom edge just over the previ-
ously installed panel and then lifted by using the installing arms.
NOTE: To shut down the cladding device depress the platform control box
Emergency stop button.
