Electrical Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide protection from contact or
being near electrical current.
• NEVER operate the telehandler in an area where overhead power lines,
overhead or underground cables, or other power sources may exist without
ensuring the appropriate power or utility company de-energizes the lines.

Tip Over Hazard
General
• For additional load requirements, refer to the appropriate capacity chart.
• Never use an attachment without the appropriate JLG approved capacity chart
installed on the telehandler.
• Understand how to properly use the capacity charts located in cab.
• DO NOT exceed rated lift capacity.
• Be sure that the ground conditions are able to support the machine.
• DO NOT raise boom unless frame is level (0 degrees), unless otherwise noted on
capacity chart.
• DO NOT level machine with boom/attachment above 4 ft (1,2 m).
(AUS - DO NOT level machine with load more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above
ground surface.)

• MAINTAIN proper tire pressure at all times. If proper tire pressures are not
maintained, this machine could tip over.
• Refer to manufacturer’s specifications for proper fill ratio and pressure
requirements for tires equipped with ballast.
• Always wear the seat belt.
• Keep head, arms, hands, legs and all other body parts inside operator’s cab at all
times.
If the telehandler starts to tip over:
• DO NOT JUMP

Non-Suspended Load
OW0060
OW0150
• DO NOT drive with boom raised.
Suspended Load
Section 1 - General Safety Practices
• Tether suspended loads to restrict movement.
• Weight of all rigging (slings, etc.) must be included as part of load.
• Beware of wind. Wind can cause a suspended load to swing and cause
dangerous side loads - even with tag lines.
• DO NOT attempt to use telehandler frame-leveling to compensate for load swing.
• Keep heavy part of load closest to attachment.
• Never drag the load; lift vertically.
When driving with a suspended load:
• Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent load from swinging.
• DO NOT extend boom.
• DO NOT raise the load more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above ground surface or
the boom more than 45°.
• DO NOT exceed walking speed.

Travel Hazard
• Steering characteristics differ between steer modes. Identify the steer mode
settings of the telehandler being operated.
• DO NOT change steer modes while traveling. Steer modes must be changed
while telehandler is stationary.
• Visually verify proper wheel alignment after each steer mode change.
• Ensure that adequate clearance is provided for both rear tail swing and front fork
swing.
• Look out for and avoid other personnel, machinery and vehicles in the area. Use
a spotter if you DO NOT have a clear view.
• Before moving be sure of a clear path and sound horn.
• When driving, retract boom and keep boom/attachment as low as possible while
maintaining visibility of mirrors and maximum visibility of path of travel.
• Always look in the direction of travel.
• Always check boom clearances carefully before driving underneath overhead
obstructions. Position attachment/load to clear obstacles.
• When driving in high speed, use only front wheel steer (if steering modes are
selectable).

Driving Hazards on Slopes
To maintain sufficient traction and braking capabilities, travel on slopes as follows:
• When unloaded, drive with forks pointed downhill.
• When loaded, drive with the forks pointed uphill.
• For additional travel requirements, refer to the appropriate capacity chart.
• To avoid overspeeding the engine and drivetrain when driving down slopes,
downshift to a lower gear and use the service brake as necessary to maintain a
slow speed. DO NOT shift into neutral and coast downhill.
• Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable surfaces. To avoid tip over DO NOT
drive across excessively steep slopes under any circumstances.
• Avoid turning on a slope. Never engage “inching” or shift to “Neutral” when going
downhill.
• DO NOT park on a slope.

• Enter using the proper hand holds and steps provided. Always maintain 3-point
contact when mounting or dismounting. Never grab control levers or steering
wheel when mounting or dismounting the machine.
• DO NOT get off the machine until the shutdown procedure on page 4-4 has been
performed.
• DO NOT carry riders. Riders could fall off machine causing death or serious
injury.

OW0950
Chemical Hazards
Exhaust Fumes
• DO NOT operate machine in an enclosed area without proper ventilation.
• DO NOT operate the machine in hazardous environments unless approved for
that purpose by JLG and site owner. Sparks from the electrical system and the
engine exhaust can cause an explosion.
• If spark arrestors are required, ensure they are in place and in good working
order.
Flammable Fuel
• DO NOT fill the fuel tank or service the fuel system near an open flame, sparks
or smoking materials. Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire and/or
explosion.
Hydraulic Fluid
• DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hoses or fittings while the
engine is running or when the hydraulic system is under pressure.
• Stop engine and relieve trapped pressure. Fluid in the hydraulic system is under
enough pressure that it can penetrate the skin.
• DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks. Wear gloves to protect hands from spraying fluid.

2.1PRE-OPERATION CHECK AND INSPECTION
Note: Complete all required maintenance before operating unit.
WARNING
FALL HAZARD. Use extreme caution when checking items beyond your normal
reach. Use an approved ladder.
The pre-operation check and inspection, performed at beginning of each work shift
or at each change of operator, should include the following:
1. Cleanliness - Check all surfaces for leakage (oil, fuel or battery fluid) or foreign
objects. Report any leakage to the proper maintenance personnel.
2. Structure - Inspect the machine structure for dents, damage, weld or parent
metal cracks or other discrepancies.
3. Safety Decals - Ensure all safety decals are legible and in place. Clean or
replace as required. See page 2-3 for details.
4. Operation and Safety Manuals - Operation & Safety Manual and AEM Safety
Manual (ANSI only) are located in cab manual holder.
5. Walk-Around Inspection - See page 2-12 for details.
6. Fluid Levels - Check fluids, including fuel, hydraulic oil, engine oil, transmission
fluid and coolant. When adding fluids, refer to Section 7 - Lubrication and
Maintenance and Section 9 - Specifications to determine proper type and
intervals. Before removing filler caps or fill plugs, wipe all dirt and grease away
from the ports. If dirt enters these ports, it can severely reduce component life.
7. Attachments/Accessories - Ensure correct capacity charts are installed on
the telehandler. If provided, reference the Operation & Safety Manual of each
attachment or accessory installed for specific inspection, operation and
maintenance instructions.
2-131200352
Section 2 - Pre-Operation and Inspection
8. Operational Check - Once the walk-around inspection is complete, perform a
warm-up and operational check (see page 2-14) of all systems in an area free
of overhead and ground level obstructions. See Section 3 - Controls and
Indicators for more specific operating instructions.
WARNING
If telehandler does not operate properly, immediately bring machine to a stop,
lower boom and attachment to ground and stop the engine. Determine cause and
correct before continued use.
