ported 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 (0.6 m)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
• 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 addi-
tion of such items increases the exposed wind area of the
machine.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
• If 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 dur-
ing operation.
• Watch for obstructions around machine and overhead
when driving. Check clearances above, on sides, and bot-
tom of platform when lifting or lowering platform.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform rail-
ing.
