VEHICLE STABILITY
Your JLG vehicle is proven to be stable when properly
operated. However, improper operation, faulty
maintenance, unauthorized modifications, or poor
housekeeping may cause instability.
Some Conditions that Affect Stability:
•
Ground and surface conditions.
•
Surface grade.
•
Weight and configuration of the attachment.
•
Improper tire inflation and ballast content.
•

vehicle instability. The amount of allowable tilt is
governed by conditions such as boom elevation,
weight of load, and terrain.
