• Foot switches
• Trigger switches
• Function enable buttons

-Once the footswitch is depressed, the operator has seven seconds to  operate a function before the enable system times out

-If no function is selected the footswitch must be released and then depressed again before selecting a new function

Trigger Switch

•The trigger switch on a JLG MEWP must be pulled in and held  before any function is allowed
