SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated
while on or near a sloping, uneven, or soft surface.
Ensure machine is positioned on a firm, level and uni­formly supported s urface before elevat ing pla tfor m or dri v­ing with the platform in the elevated position.

Before driving on floors , bridges, tr ucks, and other sur­faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.

Never exceed the maximum work load as specified on the
platform. Distribute loads evenly on platform floor. Keep
all loads within the confines of the platform, unless autho­rized by JLG.

Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 0.6m (2 ft.)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con­cealed holes, an d other potentia l haz ards a t the g round
level.

Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not t ie­off machine to any adjacent structure. Never attach wire,
cable, or any similar items to platform.

Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed

12.5 m/s (30 mph).
Do not cover the platform sides or carry lar ge surfac e-area

items in the platform when operating outdoors. The addi­tion of such items increases the exposed wind area of the
machine.

Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.

If scissor arm assembly or platform is caught so that one
or more wheels are off the ground, all pe rsons must be
removed before attempting to free the machine. Use
cranes, forklift trucks, or other appropriate equipment to
stabilize machine and remove personnel.

Crushing and Collision Hazards

Approved head gear must be worn by all operating and
ground personnel.

Keep hands and limbs out of the scissor arm assembly
during operation.

Watch for obstructions around machine and overhead
when driving. Check clearances above, on sides, and
bottom of platform wh e n lifting or lowering platform.

During operation, keep all body parts inside platform rail­ing.

Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision
is obstructed.

Keep non-operating personnel at least 1.8m (6 ft.) away
from machine during all driving operations.

Under all travel conditions, the operator must limit travel
speed according to conditio ns of gro und surfa ce, co nges­tion, visibility, slope, location of personnel, and other fac­tors causing hazards of collision or injury to personnel.

Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds. When
driving in high speed, switch to low speed bef ore stop­ping. Travel grades in low speed only.

Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close qu arters
or when driving in reverse.

Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles
from striking or interfering with operati ng contro ls and per­sons in the plat form.

Ensure that operators of other overh ead and floor level

machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres­ence. Disconnect powe r to ov erhead cr anes. Ba rricad e
floor area if necessary.

Avoid operating over ground personnel. Warn personnel
not to work, stand, or walk under a raised platform. Posi­tion barricades on floor as necessary.

1.4 TOWING, LIFTING, AND HAULING

Never allow personnel in platform whil e towing, l ifting, or
hauling.

This machine should not be towed, except in the event of
emergency, malfunction, po wer fa il ure , or l oadi n g/un loa d ­ing. Refer to Section 6 for emergency towing procedures.
