GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

29

6. When the load is slightly higher than the landing

point, SLOWLY stop the lift.

.

7. Use the transfer carriage to place the load

directly over the landing point. The transfer
carriage allows safe and easy placement of the
load without moving the vehicle. (Consult load
charts for transfer capacity.) Forks should be
level and parallel to the landing surface so that
they may be easily retracted from under the load.
Before retracting the forks, check landing point
for any excessive bowing, cracking noises or
other indications of overloading. If there is any
indication that the landing surface cannot handle
the weight of the load, place the load at a
different location that you know can handle the
weight. If the landing surface cannot handle the
weight of the load, pick the load back up, lower it
to the ground and lift a lighter load.

8. Lower the load slowly to place it and relieve the

weight from the forks. Retract the transfer
carriage until the forks are clear of the load.
Lower and retract the boom BEFORE moving the
vehicle.

9. The vehicle can now be moved from the landing

location to continue work.

LIFTING PERSONNEL

JLG strongly recommends that you DO NOT use the
JLG vehicle as a personnel lift. It is designed for
material handling ONLY. If personnel MUST be lifted,
lift only in accordance with ASME/ANSI B56.6 1992 (or
later), Para. 5.15 and with a properly designed work
platform.

WARNING

Do not ram the hydraulic lift cylinder to the
end of its stroke. The jolt could spill the load
resulting in death or serious personal injury.
