SAFETY

DANGER, WARNING, & CAUTION:
WHAT THEY MEAN

Hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and
followed by a signal word: Danger, Warning, or Caution.

DANGER

The signal word “DANGER” indicates an
imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious
personal injury.

WARNING

The signal word “WARNING” indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious
personal injury.

CAUTION

The signal word “CAUTION” indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury.

CAUTION

The signal word “CAUTION”, used without the
safety alert symbol, indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in property damage.

SAFETY STANDARD

The ASME/ANSI B56.6 safety standard for rough
terrain forklift trucks defines safety requirements
relating to the design, operation, and maintenance of
these vehicles.

DECALS

The decals on the vehicle provide instructions for safe
and correct operation.

Never make modifications affecting safe operation or
capacity without the expressed written approval of JLG.

When JLG approved modifications are made, the user
is responsible for seeing that appropriate decals, load
charts, and instructions are changed.

All plates and decals must be in place and legible at all
times.

OPERATORS PROTECTIVE
STRUCTURE

This vehicles Operators Protective Structure is
equipped with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
to guard the operator if the vehicle tips over. The Falling
Object Protective Structure (FOPS) is built into the
ROPS. The FOPS protects the operator from falling
objects.

Despite the protection of the ROPS/FOPS, it cannot
protect the operator from every possible hazard. Do not
consider the ROPS/FOPS a substitute for safe
practices and good common sense.

Any modification to a ROPS/FOPS, such as welding or
drilling holes in the structural members for mounting
brackets, will affect the ROPS/FOPS capability to
provide the required protection.

Any modification or repair without the specific written
approval of JLG will void the ROPS/FOPS certification.
Contact your authorized JLG dealer before making any
modifications or repairs. Failure to do so may void the
ROPS/FOPS certification.
