SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3120690 – JLG Lift – 1-3
• Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are
discouraged. Where transfer is necessary, enter/exit
through the gate only with the platform within 1 foot
(0.3m) of a safe and secure structure. 100% tie-off is
also required in this situation using two lanyards. One
lanyard must be attached to the platform with the sec-
ond lanyard attached to the structure. The lanyard con-
nected to the platform must not be disconnected until
the transfer to the structure is safe and complete.
Electrocution Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide
protection from contact or proximity to electrical cur-
rent.
• Maintain safe distance from electrical lines, apparatus,
or any energized (exposed or insulated) parts accord-
ing to the Minimum Safe Approach Distance (MSAD)
as shown in Table 1-1.
• Allow for machine movement and electrical line sway-
ing.
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIB-
ITED ZONE (MSAD). ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WIR-
ING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTHERWISE.
Tipping Hazards
• The user should be familiar with the surface before
driving. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and
grade while driving..
• 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 sur-
faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distrib-
ute loads evenly on platform floor.
