SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
4-2 – JLG Lift – 3120774
4.2 GENERAL
This section provides the necessary information needed to oper-
ate the machine. Included in this section are the procedures for
set-up, raising, lowering, platform loading and transporting. It is
important that the user read and understand the proper proce-
dures before operating the machine. Although some of the more
important operating safety precautions will be listed in the follow-
ing paragraph sections, it is extremely important all safety precau-
tions in Section 1 - Safety Precautions be read and understood
before operating machine. If a "Daily Walk-Around Inspection",
(see Section 2) has not been completed, perform this inspection
before starting set-up and operation. The operator must also be
familiar with all machine controls as described in Section 3 - "User/
Operator Responsibilities and Machine Controls".
4.3 BATTERY CHARGING
These machines are equipped standard with 12 volt, 10 amp
output battery chargers (120V-AC/60Hz or 100-240V-AC/50/60Hz
input). The battery charger has a microprocessor controlled
automatic charge sensing circuit which can determine cell volt-
age and regulates charger output as required. The charger
automatically terminates charging when a full battery charge is
achieved.
NOTE: Wet cell battery maintenance information can be found in
Section 7 of this Operation Manual.
NOTE: If machine is equipped with the AGM (Absorption Gas
Mat) battery option, this battery is a VRLA (valve regulated
lead acid) type and is a sealed maintenance free battery.
The charger supplied with this battery is of higher output
(20 amp), resulting in a quicker charge cycle. This char-
ger operates similarly to the standard charger as outlined
in the following, except there is only a charge complete
(100%) LED.
Battery Charger Operation
1. Position machine in well ventilated area near an AC elec-
trical outlet and set the Ground Control-PLAT/OFF/
GRND key switch to the OFF position.
