Sharing buttons:
hey welcome back everybody to a brand
new episode of stony bonehead Gainey
I'm your host today Stoney bonehead and
today I have a little treat for you you
I'm gonna show you guys how to operate a
JLG 450 AJ series - boom lift here we
are in 4x4 and it doesn't go very fast
now here we have the blue and we have
the red squares the blue square is for
your boom operation in the red squares
for ground control you can control
everything in this lift from the ground
or from the boom before I get started
and pulling the trigger and startin this
machine up I am going to give it a quick
inspection make sure there are no leaks
to the hydraulics no broken wires and
make sure that when I write close this
back up that exhaust pipe right there
goes right back into that hole the way
it's supposed to and there's the safety
switch got to pull that up get all the
alerts go in and wait for the fuel pump
okay and this is the double lockout
mechanism that makes sure that I don't
bounce out of the bucket it's attaches
to my safety harness and here is the
foot pedal you have to engage the foot
pedal before any other joystick
operation will take control it's kinda
like a clutch and there on the left
stick is the boom joystick there's all
of my articulations in the middle and on
the right hand side here is another
joystick I pull up and then I push and I
can drive the thing I love it it's four
by four all the time all-wheel drive and
on the top buttons there's on you'll see
is a right and left and that's how I
actually steer this machine is just
pushing the buttons
and what I'm going to show you here okay
there's a boom control and you can't
really see it but I'm pulling up on it
at the same time that I'm pushing
forward and to the side and I'm gonna
get myself a little bit closer to the
building here I'm going to be using the
basket rotation I can articulate it to
the left and to the right and then I'm
gonna boom out I'm gonna get myself
closer to the building here that little
switch right there pulls the boom in and
out and there's another one there that
will bring me straight up and down
without having to joystick it I kind of
cheated and I've already got us up there
a little bit more you can see the second
stage of the boom is lifted and you need
to watch below don't want to crush
anybody that would be sad and here again
we go there's the pulling up see there's
the pulling up you got to do that on
both the sticks there's a little pulling
up action that has to occur and I can
get this thing going a whole lot faster
however I like to take it really slow
this thing does not have shocks it
doesn't have suspension it's a 4x4
tractor pretty much you don't want to
bounce in it it's not very comfortable
and you can get hurt
it will fling you outside the basket
should you hit a bump wrong or something
however this is pretty muddy so it's
probably a good idea that I just kind of
take it easy anyways there's a lot of
new pipes a lot of soft soil and
everything else going on in there so
slow is the way to go there's this
beautiful building that I'm looking at
I've been working on it's all nice and
clean and the sealed again here is the
hook plate for my lockout
double lockout
keeps me nice and safe and now I'm on
the sky Jack this is a different type of
lift it's completely electric pretty
much just have to get up here make sure
that the red button isn't pushed all the
way down and there is one control here
that is most important it'll shift me
from using the joystick making me go up
or down or it will make it to where if I
slide the button the other direction I'm
actually driving at that point so I'll
show you now I'm going down let go of
that toggle there we go I mean switch
that toggle over and now I'm going to be
backing up there's a little switch on
this handle too
it's kind of instinct to be just grab it
