1.3 Model 644E-42/944E-42 Rev. 6/04
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 the 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 Lull 644E-42 and 944E-42 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 Ken Cook Company at
(414) 466-6060. An order form for these kits is available
through our web site, 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, 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 worksite, 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 is used to indicate a potential personal
injury hazard only. The symbol will not be used to
indicate property-damage-only hazards.
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/or decal plates throughout this manual.
