Lift Controls Guide

New to the lift we delivered? This guide recreates the control boxes on the boom lifts and scissor lifts we rent. Pick your machine, then tap any switch, button or joystick to see what it does and how to use it. Both the upper (platform) controls and the lower (ground) controls are covered.

Which machines are covered

  • JLG 600AJ and 800AJ articulating boom lifts (60 ft and 80 ft). They share one control layout.
  • JLG 1250AJP 125 ft boom lift, which adds steer modes, jib swing and extendable axles.
  • Genie GS scissor lifts: GS-1930, GS-2632, GS-2646, GS-3232 and GS-3246. Pick Current style or Older style to match the control box on your machine.
  • Genie Z-45/25J Electric (DC) 45 ft boom lift.
  • Genie Z-45/25J Diesel (IC) 45 ft boom lift.

Before you operate

  • Only trained operators should run a lift. Read the operator manual that comes with the machine and follow the decals on it.
  • Do a walk-around check and test the controls at ground level before going up.
  • Know where both emergency stops are, and make sure someone on the ground knows how to lower the platform from the ground controls.
