MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The JLG LiftPod is a portable aerial work platform. The complete
machine can be assembled and disassembled and moved
around from work place to work place. The work platform is
mounted to a mast, which is mounted to the base frame. The
personnel lift's intended purpose is to provide personnel access
to areas above level ground. The platform must ONLY be ele-
vated on a FIRM, LEVEL, and UNIFORM SURFACE.
When power is applied to the drive shaft port at the top of the
mast, the mast extends and lifts the platform vertically. During
normal operation, the mast can be extended and retracted
using one of two methods, using a rechargeable heavy duty
battery operated cordless drill, or the optional rechargeable
power pack unit. In case of complete loss of power when the

platform is elevated, a manual descent hand crank is included
and mounted in the platform. Also, a telescoping manual
descent tool is installed in the base frame and can retract the
mast and lower the platform from the ground.
The FT70 machine base frame has a self retracting swivel castor
wheel mounted under the front of the base for quick reposition-
ing of the machine when the platform is not loaded. When
loaded, it retracts out of ground contact and the load transfers
to the base adjustable leveling feet.
The FT140 machine base have two castor wheels equipped with
brakes mounted to each front corner of the machine, this allows
for quick repositioning of the machine when the platform is not
loaded and the castor brakes are released.
