NOTE: This requirement shall apply except where
employer, local or governmental regulations
are more stringent.
• Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft (3 m) between any
part of the machine and its occupants, their tools, and
their equipment from any electrical line or apparatus carrying up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is
required for every additional 30,000 volts or less.
• The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insulating barriers are installed to prevent contact, and the
barriers are rated for the voltage of the line being guarded.
These barriers shall not be part of (or attached to) the
machine. The minimum approach distance shall be

Tipping Hazards
• Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to support the maximum tire load indicated on the tire load
decals located on the chassis adjacent to each wheel. Do
not travel on unsupported surfaces.
• The user should be familiar with the driving surface before
driving. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade
while driving
.
• 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 surface before elevating platform or driving with
the platform in the elevated position.
• 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. Keep all loads within the confines of the platform, unless authorized by JLG.
3121321– JLG Lift –1-7
SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 0.6 m (2 ft)

cable, or any similar items to platform.
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed
the maximum allowable wind speed.
• Do not cover the platform sides or carry large surface-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 persons must be
removed before attempting to free the machine. Use

tion, 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.

mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest in
an unstable position. Ensure adequate support is provided when raising components of the machine.
• Remove all rings, watches, and jewelry when performing
any maintenance. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or
long hair unrestrained which may become caught or
entangled in equipment.
• Use only clean approved non-flammable cleaing solvents.
