Hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and followed by a signal word: Danger, Warning, or Caution.
DANGER
The signal word “DANGER” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING
The signal word “WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION
The signal word “CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
The signal word “CAUTION”, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
The ASME/ANSI B56.6 safety standard for rough terrain forklift trucks defines safety requirements relating to the design, operation, and maintenance of these vehicles.
The decals on the vehicle provide instructions for safe and correct operation.
Never make modifications affecting safe operation or capacity without the expressed written approval of JLG.
When JLG approved modifications are made, the user is responsible for seeing that appropriate decals, load charts, and instructions are changed.
All plates and decals must be in place and legible at all times.
OPERATORS PROTECTIVE
STRUCTURE
This vehicles Operators Protective Structure is equipped with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) to guard the operator if the vehicle tips over. The Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) is built into the ROPS. The FOPS protects the operator from falling objects.
Despite the protection of the ROPS/FOPS, it cannot protect the operator from every possible hazard. Do not consider the ROPS/FOPS a substitute for safe practices and good common sense.
Any modification to a ROPS/FOPS, such as welding or drilling holes in the structural members for mounting brackets, will affect the ROPS/FOPS capability to provide the required protection.
Any modification or repair without the specific written approval of JLG will void the ROPS/FOPS certification. Contact your authorized JLG dealer before making any modifications or repairs. Failure to do so may void the ROPS/FOPS certification.
