How to fix a JLG Lifting Systems machine that does not wheel properly?
If your JLG Lifting Systems machine isn't wheeling properly, it might be because the retractable swivel castor isn't properly deployed. Ensure there's no load on the platform or base, then lift the castor deploy handle on the front of the base. The castor should deploy, lifting the front of the machine. If the castor is damaged, replace it.
What to do if my JLG LiftPod FS80 platform doesn't lift up from the bottom, but the motor starts?
If the JLG Lifting Systems platform motor starts but doesn't lift from the bottom, the driveshaft interlock may be engaged. Push the cordless drill on the driveshaft down firmly to disengage it. If using a powerpack, check it's correctly fitted to the platform, the latch is down, and the drive shaft is connected to the carriage drive shaft. Also, ensure a load greater than 50kg is in the platform and the lifting ropes are tight. If the latch hasn't released, lower the loaded platform slightly and try lifting again.
What to do if my JLG LiftPod FS80 platform will not move when in elevated position, but the motor starts?
If the JLG Lifting Systems platform doesn't move when elevated but the motor starts, the driveshaft interlock might be engaged. Push the cordless drill on the driveshaft down firmly to disengage it. If using a powerpack, ensure it's charged, correctly fitted, fully down, and latched. If the drive shaft malfunctions, lower the platform using the manual descent procedure and refer to an Authorized JLG Service Center.
Why does my JLG LiftPod FS80 machine rock slightly side to side?
If your JLG Lifting Systems machine rocks slightly side to side, it could be because the support surface isn't level. Only use the machine on firm and level surfaces. Also, ensure both adjustable feet are in contact with the supporting surface, and adjust them so the machine is level.
