ANUAL LEVELLING OF THE
B
ASKET
The JLG elevating work platform is provided with an automatic basket levelling device that
was designed so that the basket floor is always parallel to the ground independently of the
movements of the arms.
However, due to causes such as leaks and malfunctions, it may be necessary to operate
manually to bring the basket to the optimal position. Proceed as follows to make such adjust‑
ments:
‑ try to move the basket to the travel position by closing the extensible structure comple‑
tely (this, only if the problem occurred while the basket was in a raised position);
‑ only carry out this operation if the basket angle exceeds 10°. If this is not the case, carry
out manual levelling at the minimum possible height, within the limit of 10°. The mini‑
mum height is reached by completely closing the 1st and 2nd arm, extension ar and jib
arm;
‑ introduce the key into the relevant slot in the remote control
(see photo);
‑ Rotate the key in the direction related to the necessary move‑
ment.
Basket levelling is subjected to some conditions:
‑ it is an exceptional manoeuvre to be performed only in case of slight malfunctions of the
self‑levelling procedure, therefore if the problem occurs frequently, have the basket
checked by an authorised workshop;
‑ the manual levelling control can be operated only from the basket, otherwise the opera‑
tor runs the risk of being injured following contact with moving parts of the machine;
‑ it is absolutely forbidden to use the levelling manoeuvre for purposes other than those
described herein (e.g. to lift objects, to increase the reach of the platform etc.), in order to
avoid serious and even fatal accidents.
