SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Electrocution Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide protection from contact or proximity to electrical current.
• Maintain distance from electrical lines, apparatus, or any
energized (exposed or insulated) parts according to the
Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) as shown in Table 1-1.
• Allow for machine movement and electrical line swaying.
• Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft. (3m) 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.
1-6– JLG Lift –3121684
• The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insulat-
ing 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 reduced
to a distance within the designed working dimensions of
the insulating barrier. This determination shall be made by
a qualified person in accordance with the employer, local,
or governmental requirements for work practices near
energized equipment.
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIBITED ZONE (MAD).

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 must 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 smooth 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.
• 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.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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 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 the 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 and when elevated without safety prop
engaged.
• Watch for obstructions around machine and overhead
when driving. Check clearances above, on sides, and bottom of platform when lifting or lowering platform.
3121684– JLG Lift –1-9
SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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 6 ft. (1.8m) away
from machine during all 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate over ground personnel. Warn personnel not
to work, stand, or walk under a raised platform. Position
barricades on floor as necessary.

importance that maintenance personnel pay strict attention
to these precautions to avoid possible injury to personnel or
damage to the machine or property. A maintenance program
must be established by a qualified person and must be followed to ensure that the machine is safe.
Maintenance Hazards
• Shut off power to all controls and ensure that all moving
parts are secured from inadvertent motion prior to performing any adjustments or repairs.
• Never work under an elevated platform until it has been
fully lowered to the full down position, if possible, or otherwise supported and restrained from movement with appropriate safety props, blocking, or overhead supports.
• DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hoses or
fittings while the machine is powered on or when the
hydraulic system is under pressure.
• Always relieve hydraulic pressure
from all hydraulic circuits before
loosening or removing hydraulic
components.
• DO NOT use your hand to check for
leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or
paper to search for leaks. Wear
gloves to help protect hands from
spraying fluid.
• Ensure replacement parts or components are identical or
equivalent to original parts or components.
3121684– JLG Lift –1-11
SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never attempt to move heavy parts without the aid of a
mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest in an
unstable position. Ensure adequate support is provided
when raising components of the machine.
• Use only approved non-flammable cleaning solvents.
• Do not replace items critical to stability, such as batteries or
solid tires, with items of different weight or specification.
Do not modify unit in any way to affect stability.
• Reference the Service and Maintenance Manual for the
weights of critical stability items.
MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION OF AN AERIAL WORK PLATFORM SHALL BE
MADE ONLY WITH PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
Battery Hazards
• Always disconnect batteries when servicing electrical components or when performing welding on the machine.
• Do not allow smoking, open flame, or sparks near battery
during charging or servicing.
• Do not contact tools or other metal objects across the battery terminals.
• Always wear hand, eye, and face protection when servicing
batteries. Ensure that battery acid does not come in contact
with skin or clothing.
BATTERY FLUID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND
CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES. IMMEDIATELY RINSE ANY CONTACTED AREA WITH
CLEAN WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
• Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
• Avoid overfilling the battery fluid level. Add distilled water
to batteries only after the batteries are fully charged.
