SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
3121221 – JLG Lift – 4-13
Driving Forward and Reverse
Set the lift/drive selector switch (1) to drive mode. Squeeze
the red trigger switch (2) on front of the joystick, and move
the joystick forward (3) to drive forward or backward (4) to
drive in reverse. The drive system is proportional so for addi-
tional drive speed, push the joystick further in the direction of
travel. Releasing the red trigger switch or returning the joystick
to center will stop the function being operated.
NOTE: To ensure proper orientation of the desired platform func-
tion, match the color (black/white) of the directional
arrow (5), to the lift/lower arrow (6) on the platform con-
trol indicator panel.
IF THE TILT INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT/ALARM IS ACTIVATED WHILE DRIV-
ING WITH PLATFORM RAISED, LOWER PLATFORM COMPLETELY AND DRIVE
TO A FIRM LEVEL SURFACE.
