SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-8 – JLG Lift – 3121219
Tipping Hazards
• Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to sup-
port the maximum tire load indicated on the tire load
decals located on the chassis adjacent to each wheel. Do
not travel on unsupported surfaces.
• The user should be familiar with the driving surface before
driving. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade
while driving
.
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated
while on or near a sloping, uneven, or soft surface. Ensure
machine is positioned on a firm uniform surface before
elevating platform or driving with the platform in the ele-
vated position.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other sur-
faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum work load as specified on the
platform. Keep all loads within the confines of the plat-
form, unless authorized by JLG.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 0.6m (2 ft.)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-
off machine to any adjacent structure. Never attach wire,
cable, or any similar items to platform.
• Do not cover the platform sides or carry large surface-area
items in the platform when operating outdoors. The addi-
tion of such items increases the exposed wind area of the
machine.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
