Tipping Hazards
• Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to support the
maximum tire load indicated on the tire load decals located on
the chassis adjacent to each wheel. Do not travel on unsupported
surfaces.
• The user must be familiar with the driving surface before driving.
Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade while driving.
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated while on
or near a sloping, uneven, or soft surface. Ensure machine is posi-
tioned on a firm, level and smooth surface before elevating plat-
form 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 plat-
form. Keep all loads within the confines of the platform, unless
authorized by JLG.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m) from
holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed holes,
and other potential hazards at the ground level.
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed speci-
fications shown in Section 5, Table 5-2 or as shown on the capac-
