SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3121272 – JLG Lift – 1-9
• 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 addition of such
items increases the exposed wind area of the machine.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck exten-
sions or attachments.
• If the 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 during
operation and when elevated without safety prop engaged.
• Watch for obstructions around machine and overhead when driv-
ing. Check clearances above, on sides, and bottom of platform
when lifting or lowering platform.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform railing.
