3.2 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled aerial work platform on top of
an elevating scissor arm mechanism. The Lift’s intended pur-
pose is to position personnel with their tools and supplies at
positions above ground level. The machine can be used to reach
work areas located above machinery or equipment positioned
at ground level.
This JLG Lift has a primary operator control station in the plat-
form. From this control station, the operator can drive and steer
the machine in both forward and reverse directions, raise and
lower the platform.
The machine can be driven on a smooth, firm, and level surface
from an elevated platform position - Reference “Steering And
Traveling” on page 3-15. of this manual for specific require-
ments.
The machine also has a ground control station which can over-
ride the platform control station. Ground controls operate lift up
and down. Ground controls are to be used only in an emergency
to lower the platform to the ground should the operator in the
platform be unable to do so.
