1.3 Model 6036 Legacy
Safety Practices
1.3 TRAINING MECHANICS AS
OPERATORS
Because it is necessary to move the vehicle to service or
maintain the vehicle, it is necessary that all mechanics
are OSHA trained and certified as operators. A mechanic
trained in the proper operation of the vehicle can better
determine whether all functions are operating correctly.
At the time of original purchase, the purchaser of this
vehicle was instructed by the seller on its proper use.
When this vehicle is to be serviced or maintained by
someone other than the purchaser, make certain that the
mechanic is trained, in accordance with the OSHA
regulations listed in the NOTICE below, and reads and
understands the SKY TRAK Model 6036 Legacy
Telescopic Material Handler Owners/Operators Manual
before operating or maintaining the vehicle.
NOTICE: Under OSHA rules, it is the responsibility of the
employer to provide operator training. Successful
completion and certification of Safety Training for Rough
Terrain Forklifts is required. Operator Training Kits are
available by calling the Ken Cook Company at (414) 466-
6060. An order form for these kits is available through our
website, http://www.jlg.com.
In addition, make sure that the mechanic has completed
a walk-around inspection of the vehicle, is familiar with all
decals and/or decal plates on the vehicle, and has
demonstrated the correct use of all controls.
1.4 SAFETY INFORMATION
The following information provides general safety
instructions, including examples of hazard statements
with signal words, notification of hazards, methods to
help avoid hazards and the consequences of failing to
follow the safety information. To avoid possible death or
injury, carefully read and follow all safety messages. Fully
understand the potential causes of death or injury.
In the event of an accident, know where to obtain medical
assistance and how to use a first-aid kit and fire
extinguisher/fire suppression system. Keep emergency
telephone numbers (fire department, ambulance, rescue
squad/paramedics, police department, etc.) nearby. If
working alone, check with another person routinely to
help ensure personal safety.
The information in this manual does not replace any other
safety rules or proper judgment. Governmental
authorities and employers also have their own sets of
rules, codes, regulations and laws. Before starting work
at a site, check with the supervisor or safety coordinator
and ask about the safety policy. Learn the safety
requirements in effect before operating, maintaining,
servicing or testing the vehicle. Safety depends on
following safety requirements.
1.4.1 Safety Alert Symbol
The exclamation mark within a triangle is the Safety Alert
Symbol.
This symbol means “Attention! Become Alert! Your
Safety Is Involved!” The symbol is used to attract
attention to safety hazards found on the vehicle safety
decals and throughout this manual.
