4.2 PLATFORM CONTROLS

Drive Speed Selector SwitchThe DRIVE SPEED selector switch can be positioned

either to 3rd gear ( ), 2nd gear ( ) or 1st ( )position and that speed will be obtained. When themast is raised, the high speed drive (TORQUE or HIGHposition) is cutout and only the low drive speed isattainable.

Traveling (Driving)

See Figure 4-1., Grade and Side Slope

NOTE: Refer to the General Specifications (Section 8) forGradeability and Side slope ratings.All ratings for Gradeability and Side slope are basedupon the machine in transport mode with the mastand jib being in the stowed position, fully lowered,and retracted.

DO NOT DRIVE WITH MAST OUT OF TRANSPORT MODE EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM AND LEVEL SURFACE.

TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR “TIP OVER”, DO NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON GRADES EXCEEDING THOSE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8.2.

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE AND AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE PLATFORM IS ELEVATED.

BEFORE DRIVING, LOCATE THE BLACK/WHITE ORIENTATION ARROWS ON BOTH THE CHASSIS AND THE PLATFORM CONTROLS. MOVE THE DRIVE CONTROLS IN A DIRECTION MATCHING THE DIRECTIONAL ARROWS.

With the machine in transport mode, traveling is limitedby two factors, gradeability and side slope. Gradeabil-ity is the percent of grade of the incline the machinecan climb. Sideslope, is the angle of the slope themachine can be driven across. Reference section 8 forgradeability and side slope ratings.

When the mast is extended, the machine must not beoperated on grades or side slopes that are greaterthan that specified in Section 8. The tilt alarm willsound and tilt indicator will light to alert the operatorwhen the machine has exceeded the rated slope. Thedrive movements are cut and the slewing, jib and mastraising movements switch automatically to slow speed.

APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN(GLOVES, GOGGLES, RUBBER APRON) TO PREVENT THEDRAINED WATER FROM CONTACTING THE SKIN OR ANY PARTOF THE BODY.

BATTERY ELECTROLYTE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTACTTHE SKIN OR EYES. IF IT DOES OCCUR, FLUSH THE CON-TACTED AREA WITH WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR IMMEDI-ATELY. APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN (GLOVES,GOGGLES, RUBBER APRON) TO PREVENT THE ELECTROLYTEFROM CONTACTING THE SKIN OR ANY OTHER PART OF THEBODY DURING ANY SERVICING OPERATION ON THE BATTERY.

DURING MAINTENANCE OR ANY SERVICING OPERATION ONTHE BATTERY, RINGS, WATCHES OR ANY OTHER JEWELLERYMUST BE REMOVED.

Daily maintenance

Electrolyte level

Verify the electrolyte level after the charge using the floats in the center of each filling cap.

NOTE: Tilt the charger to gain access to the front batterypack (E18MJ only).

Fill the battery cells, if necessary, after the charge usingthe filling system.

IMPORTANTUSE ONLY DISTILLED OR DEMINERALIZED WATER TO FILL THEBATTERY CELLS. BATTERY CELLS MUST BE FILLED ONLYAFTER THE CHARGE (DURING THE CHARGE, THE ELECTRO-LYTE LEVEL INCREASES AND CAN OVERFLOW).

• Fill the can with distilled water.

• Depress and hold the push button to activate thebattery filling pump until the flow indicator slowsdown.

• Check that the level is correct in each battery cell.

Weekly maintenance

Cleaning - Battery maintenance

It is necessary to clean the battery regularly to preventsalt formation and current arcing which could damagethe machine.

• Clean and dry the battery top.

• Ensure the connections are clean and tight.

• Keep the metallic containers clean. In case of corro-sion, clean, neutralize corrosion and apply anti-acidpaint on the affected area.

• Drain the water that can accumulate at the bottom ofthe container (electrolyte overflow, leak in the cen-tralized filling circuit, battery cleaning...).

To drain the water :

• A draining bulb is supplied with the work platform

NOTE: The water that contacted a battery is classified asindustrial waste, it must be disposed of accordingto regulations in force.

Monthly maintenance

Checking voltage and electrolyte specific gravity

NOTE: Voltage and specific gravity measures should notbe performed after battery cells have been filled.These measures must be done after a completecharge once the charger has been unplugged andthe machine has been standing for 15 mn.

• Open the battery cell filling cap.

SECTION 8 - GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS & OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

• Using the hydrometer, take a quantity of electrolytesufficient so that the float emerges. Ensure the floattop does not touch the rubber bulb or that the floatdoes not stick by capillarity to the glass wall.

• Read the value as indicated on the example below :

• Return the electrolyte in the cell and record cell elec-trolyte specific gravity in the battery service log.

• Repeat operation for each battery cell.

• Contact JLG Industries if important disparities arenoticed between the gravity of the different cells andif the values are lower than 1.24.

• Check each cell voltage.

• Contact JLG Industries if important disparities arenoticed between the voltage of the different cells.

Annual maintenance

Filling system maintenance

It is necessary to service the centralized filling systemat least once a year. Cleaning frequency must beincreased in case of premature clogging of the filter ora reduction in water flow.

• Disconnect and clean the filter by reversing thewater flow from the normal direction.

• Check the hoses for flexibility. In case of hardeningin the connection areas, replace the hose.

• Check every fitting for tightness and leakage.

• Check the cell caps individually. Ensure the perfectmobility of the floats. In case of excessive clogging,replace the cap. In any case, it is recommended toreplace the caps every 2 to 3 years.

Various recommendations

Use of a battery in a cold chamber or in a cold climate

Low temperatures decrease battery capacity. The bat-tery must be fully charged when the work platform isoperated in a cold chamber or in cold weather condi-tion.

Battery not working continuously or inactive battery

A battery that is not used or used intermittently must bestored charged in a dry area away from freezing tem-peratures. A charge must be performed once a month.

• Unplug the battery to insulate it electrically.

• Keep the top of the battery clean and dry to preventself discharge.

IMPORTANTIF THE BATTERY IS NOT USED CONTINUOUSLY, IT MUST BERECHARGED BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, EVENIF THE ELECTROLYTE SPECIFIC GRAVITY MEASURES ARE HIGH.BEFORE PLACING IN SERVICE A BATTERY WHICH REMAINED INAC-TIVE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, YOU MUST RECHARGE THEBATTERY AND CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN THE CELLS

9. Tires And Wheels

Tire wear and damage :

Inspect tires periodically for wear or damage. Tires withworn edges or distorted profiles require replacement.Tires with significant damage in the tread area or sidewall, require immediate evaluation before placing themachine into service.

Wheel installation :

It is extremely important to apply and maintain properwheel mounting torque.

WHEEL NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THEPROPER TORQUE TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKENSTUDS AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM THEAXLE. BE SURE THAT THE LUG NUTS ARE SEATED PROPERLYTO THE WHEEL.

Use a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners. If you donot have a torque wrench, tighten the fasteners with alug wrench, then immediately have a service garage ordealer tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque. Over-tightening will result in breaking the studs or perma-nently deforming the mounting stud holes in thewheels. The proper procedure for attaching wheels isas follows :

• Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.DO NOT use a lubricant on threads or nuts.

• Tighten nuts in the following sequence :

Table 8-6. Wheel Torque Chart

• Tightening of the nuts should be done in stages.Following the recommended sequence, tighten nutsas follow :
