MACHINE:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH PRIMARY POWER SOURCE (ENGINE) IF
PERSONS ARE PINNED OR TRAPPED. USE AUXILIARY POWER
INSTEAD.
1. Operate the machine from ground controls ONLY
with the assistance of other personnel and equip-
ment (cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be
required to safely remove the danger or emergency
condition.
2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use
the platform controls with regular or auxiliary power.
DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS
DO NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY.
3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may
be available are to be used to remove platform
occupants and stabilize motion of the machine in
case machine controls are inadequate or malfunc-
tion when used.
Platform or Boom Caught Overhead
If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in
overhead structures or equipment, do not continue opera-
tion of the machine from either the platform or the ground
until the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a
secure location. Only then should an attempt be made to
free the platform using any necessary equipment and per-
sonnel. Do not operate controls to cause one or more
wheels to leave the ground.
Righting a Tipped Machine
No attempt should be made to right the machine using
platform or ground controls. A fork truck of suitable
capacity or equivalent equipment may be placed under
the elevated side of the chassis. A crane or other lifting
equipment may also be used to lift the platform while the
chassis is lowered by a fork truck, jacks, or other means.
Remove all personnel and equipment from the area
before starting operation.
Post Incident Inspection and Repair
Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine
and test all functions first from the ground controls, then
from the platform controls. Do not lift above 10 feet (3 m)
until you are sure that all damage has been repaired, if
required, and that all controls are operating correctly.
6.5 INCIDENT NOTIFICATION
It is imperative that JLG Industries, Inc. be notified imme-
diately of any incident involving a JLG product. Even if no
injury or property damage is evident, the factory should

sary details.

hours of such an occurrence may void any warranty con-
sideration on that particular machine.
