SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
3121636 – JLG Lift – 4-11
After these conditions have been met, make sure that there
are no obstacles in the Jib working area and operate as fol-
lows:
• Activate the joystick for moving the JIB arm. If a different
joystick is activated an error message will appear on the
display.
• After the slope has been passed, for which the jib had to
be raised, fully lower the jib and continue travelling.
• With the JIB raised, ALWAYS travel at minimum speed
and keep the JIB as near as possible to the ground.
4.6 OUTRIGGER OPERATION
BE CERTAIN THAT THE OUTRIGGER PADS ARE SET ON A FIRM AND HORI-
ZONTAL SURFACE. DO NOT SET THE OUTRIGGER PADS ON INCLINED, VER-
TICAL, OR SLIPPERY SURFACES.
THE OUTRIGGERS WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE BOOM AND JIB ARE
COMPLETELY LOWERED, RETRACTED AND ALIGNED WITH THE BASE.
NOTE: The base and boom/jib must be aligned and stowed
before this function will operate, see Section 4.4, BASE
AND BOOM/JIB ALIGNMENT.
If one of the outriggers does not come into contact with the
ground while being set, the engine will turn off or, the self-
levelling attempt will stop. This situation may be due to the
slope on which the outriggers are being set up on exceeds
the allowed slope for proper set up at the end of the stabili-
zation phase. If the machine is to be lifted even further from
the ground after the outriggers are properly set, push and
hold the outrigger automatic set and level button.
