SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
4-10 – JLG Lift – 3128791
After these conditions have been met, make sure that there are
no obstacles in the Jib working area and operate as follows:
• 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
HORIZONTAL SURFACE. DO NOT SET THE OUTRIGGER PADS ON
INCLINED, VERTICAL, 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-level-
ling 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 stabilization
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.
