SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION 4.1 DESCRIPTION This machine is a self-propelled elevating ‘sizzor’ aerial work platform. The Sizzor Lift’s intended purpose is to position personnel with their tools and supplies at positions above ground level. The machine can be used to reach work areas located above machinery or equipment. The JLG Sizzor Lift has a primary operator Control Station in the platform.
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION 4.3 ENGINE OPERATION RTS SERIES SCISSOR LIFTS MANUFACTURED AFTER AUGUST 26, 1996 ARE EQUIPPED WITH A HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE SWITCH THAT SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE WHEN THE HYDRAULIC OIL REACHES A TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 111 DEGREES C (230 DEGREES F). THIS SHUT DOWN IS INTENDED TO PROTECT THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND ITS COMPONENTS FROM DAMAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT.
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION Figure 4-1. Grade and Sideslope 4.5 LEVELING JACKS (OPTIONAL) NOTE: The machine may be equipped with leveling jacks enabling the operator to level the machine on uneven surfaces. Lower leveling jacks until the bubble level located on the platform of the machine reads level. The tilt warning light and the tilt warning alarm must not be on. When using leveling jacks, always deploy all four.
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION 4.7 Traveling Forward STEERING To steer the machine, the thumb operated steer control switch on the controller handle is positioned to the right for traveling right, or to the left for traveling left. When released, the switch will return to the center-off position and the wheels will remain in the previously selected position. To return the wheels to the straightened position, the switch must be activated in the opposite direction until the wheels are centered. 4.
SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION 4.9 PARKING AND STOWING 4.11 SAFETY PROPS Park and stow machine as follows: 1. Drive machine to a reasonably well-protected and well-ventilated area.
