SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3120796 – JLG Lift – 1-3
• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at
all times. Never position ladders, boxes, steps, planks,
or similar items on unit to provide additional reach for
any purpose.
• Never use the mast assembly to gain access to or leave
the platform.
• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving platform.
Ensure that the mast assembly is fully lowered. Face
the machine when entering or leaving the platform.
Always maintain “three point contact” with the machine,
using two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand
at all times during entry and exit.
• 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 utilizing two lanyards.
One lanyard must be attached to the platform with the
second lanyard attached to the structure. The lanyard
connected to the platform must not be disconnected
until such time the transfer to the structure is safe and
complete.
• Keep oil, mud, and slippery substances cleaned from
footwear and the platform floor.
Electrocution Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide pro-
tection from contact with an electrically charged con-
ductor.
• Maintain safe clearance from electrical lines, apparatus,
or any energized (exposed or insulated) parts in accor-
dance with the Minimum Safe Approach Distance
(MSAD) as specified in Table 1-1. Allow for machine
movement and electrical line swaying.
• Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft (3m) between any
part of the machine and its occupants, their tools, and
their equipment from any electrical line or apparatus
carrying up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clear-
ance is required for every additional 30,000 volts or
less.
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIB-
ITED ZONE (MSAD). ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND
WIRING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTHERWISE.
