Section 3 - Operation

3.2 USE OF THE CAPACITY CHART

Example

A contractor owns a model xxxxx telehandler with a 48" Carriage. He knows his fork
mounted platform may be used with his model/attachment since it follows the
requirements set forth in “Approved Personnel Work Platforms” on page 4-1.

The contractor knows the platform’s capacity of 1,000 lb (454 kg) can handle the
occupant’s weight of 450 lb (204 kg) and the load also being lifted of 150 lb (68 kg).
The contractor also knows the platform weighs 400 lb (181 kg).

The following are examples with various conditions the contractor may encounter
and whether or not the platform may be lifted.

Load Weight (including

platform, load & personnel)

1 1000 lb (454 kg) 20 ft (6,1 m) 10 ft (3,0 m) Yes

2 1000 lb (454 kg) 28 ft (8,5 m) 16 ft (4,9 m) NO

3 1000 lb (454 kg) 22 ft (6,7 m) 24 ft (7,3 m) NO

PLATFORMS

4.1 APPROVED PERSONNEL WORK PLATFORMS

Quick Switch Mounted - JLG Supplied

To determine if a quick switch personnel work platform is approved for use on the
specific telehandler you are using, perform the following prior to installation.

• The attachment model/option number on the attachment identification plate must
match the attachment number on a capacity chart located in the operator cab.

• The model on the capacity chart must match the model telehandler being used.

If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use the platform. The telehandler
may not be equipped with the proper capacity chart or the platform may not be
approved for the model telehandler being used. Contact JLG or the local distributor
for further information.

Fork Mounted

Fork mounted personnel work platforms must comply with the design requirements
of platforms for elevating personnel as outlined in the current revision of ITSDF
B56.6 Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks.

Note: Compliance to OSHA regulations does not necessarily indicate compliance to
ITSDF B56.6.

If the platform does not meet the design requirements of the B56.6 Standard, do not
use the platform.

Section 4 - Types of Personnel Work Platforms

4.2 UNAPPROVED PERSONNEL WORK PLATFORMS

Do not attach any type of personnel work platform that is not manufactured by JLG
to the Quick Switch.

Do not use fork mounted personnel work platforms that do not meet the design
requirements. See “Fork Mounted” on page 4-1.

Do not use unapproved platforms for the following reasons:

• Range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade, altered, or other
non-approved platforms cannot be established.

• An overextended or overloaded telehandler can tip over with little or no warning
and cause serious injury or death to the operator and/or those working nearby.

• The ability of a non-approved platform to perform its intended function safely
cannot be assured.

WARNING

Use only approved personnel work platforms. Platforms which have not been
approved for use with your telehandler could cause machine damage or an
accident.

Fork Mounted

JLG fork mounted personnel work platforms must attach to the forks by installing a
pin behind the heel of each fork. Prior to use, ensure each pin is installed and
secured.

For fork mounted platforms not manufactured by JLG, follow the personnel work
platform manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

DO NOT use fork mounted personnel work platforms with attachments capable of
independent motion (i.e. side tilt, swing and mast carriages) without disabling the
independent motion feature(s).
