SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION

4.1 DESCRIPTIONThis machine is a self-propelled aerial work platform ontop of an elevating ‘scissor’ mechanism. The Scissor Lift’sintended purpose is to position personnel with their toolsand supplies at positions above ground level. Themachine can be used to reach work areas located abovemachinery or equipment positioned at ground level.

The JLG Scissor Lift has a primary operator Control Sta-tion in the platform. From this Control Station, the operatorcan drive and steer the machine in both forward andreverse directions, raise and lower the platform and, ifequipped, operate the powered deck extension. Themachine has a Ground Control Station which will overridethe Platform Control Station. Ground Controls operate liftup and down. Ground Controls are to be used only in anemergency to lower the platform to the ground should theoperator in the platform be unable to do so.

Instructions and hazard warnings are posted adjacent toboth operator control stations and at other places on themachine. It is extremely important that operators knowwhat instructions and warnings are placed on themachine, and review these periodically so that they arefresh in their minds. Vibrations emitted by these machinesare not hazardous to an operator in the work platform.

The JLG Scissor Lift is designed to provide efficient andsafe operation when maintained and operated in accor-dance with warnings on the machine, the Operating andSafety Manual, the Service and Maintenance Manual andall jobsite and government rules and regulations. As withany type of machinery, the operator is very important toefficient and safe operation. It is absolutely necessary thatthe JLG Lift be regularly maintained in accordance withthis manual and the machine Service and MaintenanceManual, and that any evidence of lack of maintenance,malfunction, excessive wear, damage or modification tothe machine be reported immediately to the machineowner or the jobsite supervisor or safety manager and thatthe machine be taken out of service until all discrepanciesare corrected.

The JLG Scissor Lift is not intended to be used to lift mate-rial other than supplies which personnel in the platformrequire to do their job. Supplies or tools which extend out-side the platform are prohibited. It must not be used as aforklift, crane, support for overhead structure, or to pushor pull another object.

The JLG Scissor Lift is powered using hydraulic motorsand cylinders for the various machine motions. Thehydraulic components are controlled by electrically acti-vated hydraulic valves using switches and control levers.The speeds of functions controlled by control levers arevariable from zero to maximum speed, depending upon

the position of the control lever. Functions controlled bytoggle or push-button switches are either on or off. Insome instances, a function switch can be used in conjunc-tion with the controller to give the machine a higher func-tion speed range.

The JLG Scissor Lift is an all wheel drive machine. Therear wheels are supplied with a hydraulic disc brake. Thisbrake is automatically applied any time the drive controlleris returned to the neutral position.

The platform capacity of the 330CRTis 1000 lb. (450 kg)and the capacity of the 400CRT is 800 lb. (360 kg). Theweight in the platform should be uniformly distributed inthe center of the platform. The total combined weight ofpersonnel, tools and supplies must not exceed the abovefigures.

The platform may be raised only when positioned on firm,level and uniform surfaces.

4.2 GENERALThis section provides the necessary information neededto operate the machine. Included in this section are theprocedures for starting, stopping, traveling, steering, park-ing, platform loading and transporting the machine. It isimportant that the user read and understand the properprocedures before operating the machine.
