SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3121165 – JLG Lift – 5-3
Platform Caught Overhead
If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead struc-
tures or equipment, do not continue operation 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 nec-
essary equipment and personnel. Do not operate controls to
cause one or more wheels to leave the ground.
Righting of Tipped Machine
A forktruck of suitable capacity or equivalent equipment should
be placed under the elevated side of the chassis, with a crane or
other suitable lifting equipment used to lift the platform while
the chassis is lowered by the forklift or other equipment.
Post-Incident Inspection
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 meters) until you
are secure that all damage has been repaired, if required, and
that all controls are operating correctly.
5.3 INCIDENT NOTIFICATION
It is imperative that JLG Industries, Inc. be notified immediately
of any incident involving a JLG product. Even if no injury or
property damage is evident, the Product Safety and Reliability
Department at the factory should be contacted by telephone
and provided with all necessary details.
Contact at 1-877-JLG-SAFE (554-7233) between the hours of
8:00 AM - 4:45 PM Eastern Standard time.
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 consideration on
that particular machine.
