3120854 – JLG Lift – 1-1

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not operate this machine until it has been serviced
and maintained according to the maintenance and
inspection requirements as specified in the machine’s
Service and Maintenance Manual.

• Ensure all safety devices are operating properly. Modi­fication of these devices is a safety violation.

MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION OF AN AERIAL WORK PLAT­FORM SHALL BE MADE ONLY WITH PRIOR WRITTEN PERMIS­SION FROM THE MANUFACTURER

• Do not operate any machine on which the safety or
instruction placards or decals are missing or illegible.

• Check the machine for modifications to original com­ponents. Ensure that any modifications have been
approved by JLG.

• Avoid accumulation of debris on platform deck. Keep
mud, oil, grease, and other slippery substances from
footwear and platform deck.

1.3 OPERATION

General

• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than
positioning personnel, their tools, and equipment.

• Before operation, the user must be familiar with the
machine capabilities and operating characteristics of
all functions.

• Never operate a malfunctioning machine. If a malfunc­tion occurs, shut down the machine. Remove the unit
from service and notify the proper authorities.

• Do not remove, modify, or disable any safety devices.

• Never slam a control switch or lever through neutral to

an opposite direction. Always return switch to neutral
and stop before moving the switch to the next function.
Operate controls with slow and even pressure.

• Hydraulic cylinders should never be left at end of travel
(fully extended or fully retracted) before shutdown or
for long periods of time. Always “bump” control in
opposite direction slightly when function reaches end
of travel. This applies both to machines in operation or
in the stowed position.

• Do not allow personnel to tamper with or operate the
machine from the ground with personnel in the plat­form, except in an emergency.

• Do not carry materials directly on platform railing
unless approved by JLG.

• When two or more persons are in the platform, the
operator shall be responsible for all machine opera­tions.

• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed
and never left hanging by their cord from the platform
work area.

• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing
or pulling except by pulling at the chassis tie-down
lugs.

• Stow scissor arm assembly and shut off all power
before leaving machine.

Trip and Fall Hazards

• JLG Industries, Inc. recommends that all persons in the
platform wear a full body harness with a lanyard
attached to an authorized lanyard anchorage point
while operating this machine. For further information
regarding fall protection requirements on JLG prod­ucts, contact JLG Industries, Inc.

• Prior to operation, ensure all gates are fastened and
secured in their proper position. Identify the desig­nated lanyard anchorage point(s) at the platform and
securely attach the lanyard. Attach only one (1) lanyard
per lanyard anchorage point.

• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at
all times. Never position ladders, boxes, steps, planks,
or similar items on unit to provide additional reach for
any purpose.

• Never use the scissor arm assembly to gain access to
or leave the platform.

1-2 – JLG Lift – 3120854

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving plat­form. Ensure that the scissor arm assembly is fully low­ered. Face the machine when entering or leaving the
platform. Always maintain “three point contact” with
the machine, using two hands and one foot or two feet
and one hand at all times during entry and exit.

• Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are
discouraged. Where transfer is necessary, enter/exit
through the gate only with the platform within 1 foot
(0.3m) of a safe and secure structure. 100% tie-off is
also required in this situation utilizing two lanyards.
One lanyard must be attached to the platform with the
second lanyard attached to the structure. The lanyard
connected to the platform must not be disconnected
until such time the transfer to the structure is safe and
complete.

• Keep oil, mud, and slippery substances cleaned from
footwear and the platform floor.

• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, 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 2 ft.
(0.6m) from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions,
debris, concealed holes, and other potential hazards at
the ground level.

• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not
tie-off machine to any adjacent structure. Never attach
wire, cable, or any similar items to platform.

• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions
exceed 28 mph (12.5 m/s).Unless otherwise specified
on machine or accessory.

• Do not cover the platform sides or carry large surface­area 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 persons
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 when lifting or lowering platform..

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

• Under all travel conditions, the operator must limit
travel speed according to conditions of ground sur­face, congestion, 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
before stopping. Travel grades in low speed only.

• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close quar­ters or when driving in reverse.

• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obsta­cles from striking or interfering with operating controls
and persons in the platform.

• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres­ence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes. Barricade
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 while towing, lifting,
or hauling.

• This machine should not be towed, except in the event
of emergency, malfunction, power failure, or loading/
unloading. Refer to Section 6 for emergency towing
procedures.

• Ensure platform is fully retracted and completely
empty of tools prior to towing, lifting or hauling.

• When lifting machine with a forklift, position forks only
at designated areas of the machine. Lift with a forklift of
adequate capacity.

• Refer to Section 4 for lifting information.

1.5 ADDITIONAL HAZARDS / SAFETY
