Manual Swing Override.
(30/35/40/n40/45 electric)
The manual swing override is used to manually swing
boom and turntable assembly in the event of a total power
failure when the platform is positioned over a structure or
obstacle. To operate the manual swing override, proceed
as follows:
1. Using a 7/8 inch socket and ratchet wrench, locate
nut on swing worm gear on left side of machine.
Install wrench on nut and ratchet in the direction
desired.
6.4 EMERGENCY OPERATION.
Use of Ground Controls.
1. Know how to use Ground Controls in an emergency
situation.
Ground personnel must be thoroughly familiar with
the machine operating characteristics and the
ground control functions. Training should include
operation of the machine, review and understanding
of this section and hands-on operation of the con-
trols in simulated emergencies.
Operator Unable to Control Machine.
IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR
UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL MACHINE:
1. Operate the machine from ground controls only with
the assistance of other personnel and equipment
(cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be required
to safely remove the danger or emergency condi-
tion.
2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use
the platform controls. DO NOT CONTINUE OPERA-
TION IF CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION PROP-
ERLY.
3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may
be available are to be used to remove platform
occupants and stabilize motion of the machine in
case machine controls are inadequate or malfunc-
tion when used.
Platform or Boom Caught Overhead:
If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in
overhead structures or equipment, do not continue opera-
tion of the machine from either the platform or the ground
until the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a
secure location. Only then should an attempt be made to
free the platform using any necessary equipment and per-
sonnel. Do not operate controls to cause one or more
wheels to leave the ground.
Following any accident, thoroughly inspect the machine
and test all functions first from the ground controls, then
from the platform controls. Do not lift above 10 ft. (3 m)
until you are sure that all damage has been repaired, if
required, and that all controls are operating correctly.
6.5 INCIDENT NOTIFICATION.
It is imperative that JLG Industries, Inc. be notified imme-
diately of any incident involving a JLG product. Even if no
injury or property damage is evident, the Product Safety
and Reliability Department at the factory should be con-
tacted by telephone and provided with all necessary
details.
It should be noted that failure to notify the Manufacturer of
an incident involving a JLG Industries product within 48
hours of such an occurrence may void any warranty con-
sideration on that particular machine.
