4.3 SET-UP AND OPERATION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RAISE THE PLATFORM UNTIL THE MACHINE IS
PROPERLY SECURED TO THE WORK AREA MOUNTING SURFACE.
To set-up the machine for operation the operator must:
1. Turn key switch to the ON position at the ground control
station.
2. Ensure both emergency stop switches, (one at platform
controls and one at ground controls), are in the RESET
(pulled out) position for operation.
3. Ensure manual decent control valve (red knob) located
on the rear base frame is closed (spring loaded - default
position).
Platform Loading
JLG INDUSTRIES, INC. RECOMMENDS THE OPERATOR IN THE PLATFORM
USE AN APPROVED FALL RESTRAINT DEVICE WITH A LANYARD
ATTACHED TO AN AUTHORIZED LANYARD ANCHORAGE POINT.
The platform maximum rated load capacity is shown on a placard
located on the platform control panel.
Platform Operation
1. Enter platform and close the entry gate(s).
NOTE: Machines equipped with optional entry gate interlocks,
the platform controls will not lift or lower without both
gates completely closed. To verify if the machine is
equipped with the optional gate interlocks, look for a wire
harness to exit the platform midrail through a small hole in
the midrail near the mast header.
2. To raise the platform, depress the FUNCTION ENABLE
button and platform UP button simultaneously. Upon
reaching desired elevation level, release the UP and
FUNCTION ENABLE buttons.
NOTE: Machines equipped with the optional platform foot control
switches, the footswitch is equipped with two pedals, one
labeled UP and one labeled DOWN. These pedals work
the same as the UP/DOWN buttons on the platform con-
trol station. The FUNCTION ENABLE button must be
depressed before either foot pedal will raise or lower the
platform.
