Platform Manual Descent - JLG ES1330L Operation & Safety Manual

Machine Controls, Indicators, and Operation
Traveling Forward And Reverse
Position the platform lift/drive select switch to drive/steer position. Squeeze
the trigger switch on front of the joystick and move the joystick forward to
drive forward, or backward to drive in reverse.
The drive system is proportional: for additional drive speed, push the joystick
further from the neutral position in the direction of travel. Releasing the
trigger switch or returning the joystick to center will stop machine
movement.
Note: To ensure proper operation of the desired platform function, move
the joystick in the direction of the black or white arrow that matches
the color of the arrow on the chassis for the intended direction of
travel.
USB Port (If Equipped)
Provides a USB port in the platform.
Variable Tilt - Platform Restricted Height Indicator
This indicator shows the maximum allowable platform elevation when the machine is
within the limits of the variable tilt envelope. When activated, allowable platform height
will be shown in one of three height ranges, depending on the amount of tilt detected
by the machine's tilt sensor. See tables in Section 2 for tilt angle - platform operating
height restrictions.

PLATFORM MANUAL DESCENT

Use the Platform Manual Descent in the event of total power failure to lower the
platform using gravity. The manual descent control T-handle is located on the left rear
of the machine, just below the platform ladder. Look for the instruction decal located
beside the release handle.
The lowering procedure is as follows:
1. Locate the manual descent control T-handle.
Keep hands and arms out of the path of the scissor arms and platform while
lowering.
2. Grasp the T-handle and slowly pull out to lower the scissor arms/platform. When
the platform is lowered to the desired level, allow the T-handle to return to its
closed position.
