6.4 EMERGENCY OPERATION
Use of Ground Controls
KNOW HOW TO USE THE GROUND CONTROLS IN AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION.
Ground personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the
machine operating characteristics and the ground control
functions. Training should include operation of the
machine, review and understanding of this section and
hands-on operation of the controls in simulated emergen-
cies.
Operator Unable to Control Machine
IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR
UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH PRIMARY POWER SOURCE (ENGINE OR
ELECTRIC MOTOR) 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 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.
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 3 m (10 feet)
until you are sure that all damage has been repaired, if
required, and that all controls are operating correctly.A
cold weather start system in the diesel engine functions
automatically to provide starting fluid, as necessary, to the
engine. A sensor switch mounted on the engine will per-
mit ether injection when the engine is cold. The sensor will
not permit ether injection to a warm engine.
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
be contacted by telephone and provided with all neces-
sary details.
Contact your local JLG office.
It should be noted that failure to notify the manufacturer of
an incident involving a JLG Industries product within 48
hours of such an occurrence may void any warranty con-
sideration on that particular machine.
