SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SECTION 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 GENERAL
This section prescribes the proper and safe practices for major
areas of machine usage which have been divided into three basic
categories: Transporting, Pre-Operation and Operation. In order to
promote proper usage of the machine, it is mandatory that a daily
routine be established based on instruction given in this section. A
maintenance program must also be established by a qualified person and must be followed to ensure that the machine is safe to
operate.
The user/operator of the machine should not accept operating
responsibility until this manual has been READ and UNDERSTOOD, and operating instructions of the machine under the
supervision of an experienced and qualified operator, has been
completed. If there is a question on application and/or operation,
JLG Industries Product Safety and Reliability Department should
be consulted.
MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE WITHOUT APPROVAL OF JLG INDUSTRIES INC., OR CERTIFICATION BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TESTING LAB TO BE IN CONFORMITY WITH APPLICABLE OSHA
REGULATIONS, AND TO BE AT LEAST AS SAFE AS BEFORE MODIFICATION, IS PROHIBITED AND IS A VIOLATION OF OSHA RULES.
3121212 – JLG Lift – 1-1
SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.2 TRANSPORTING
Before transporting the machine the user/operator must be familiar with the proper procedures for transporting the machine, as
well as the weight and size of the machine.
The user/operator should be familiar with the surrounding work
area and surface before transporting the machine. The work area
must be a smooth, firm surface on which machine is capable of
being leveled.
NOTE: Remember that the key to safe and proper usage is com-
mon sense and its careful application.
