SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3121606 – JLG Lift – 1-7
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated while
on a sloping, uneven, or soft surface.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other surfaces,
check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute
loads evenly on platform floor.
• Do not raise the platform or drive from an elevated position
unless the machine is on firm, level and smooth surfaces.
• Keep the chassis of the machine at least 2 ft. (0.6m) from holes,
bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed holes, and
other potential hazards on the floor/surface.
• Do not push or pull any object with the boom.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-off
machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not elevate the machine when wind conditions exceed 28
mph (12.5 m/s). Refer to Table 1-2, Beaufort Scale (For Refer-
ence Only).
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the load.
Increase of the area exposed to the wind will decrease stabil-
ity.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
• If boom assembly or platform is in a position that one or more
wheels are off the ground, all persons must be removed before
attempting to stabilize the machine. Use cranes, forklift trucks,
or other appropriate equipment to stabilize machine.
Crushing and Collision Hazards
• Approved head gear must be worn by all operating and
ground personnel.
• Check work area for clearances overhead, on sides, and bot-
tom of platform when lifting or lowering platform, and driving.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform railing.
