READ & HEED!
The ownership, use, service, and/or maintenance of
this machine is subject to various governmental and
local laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of
the owner/user to be knowledgeable of these laws
and regulations and to comply with them. Owner/
user/operator/lessor and lessee must be familiar
with Sections 6,7,8,9, and 10 of ANSI A92.5-1992.
These sections contain the responsibilities of the
owner, users, operators, lessors, and lessees con-
cerning safety, training, inspection, maintenance,
application and operation. The most prevalent regu-
lations of this type in the United States are the Fed-
eral OSHA Safety Regulations*. Listed below, in
abbreviated form are some of the requirements of
Federal OSHA regulations in effect as of the date of
publication of this handbook.
The listing of these requirements shall not relieve
the owner/user of the responsibility and obligation
to determine all applicable laws and regulations and
their exact wording and requirements, and to com-
ply with the requirements. Nor shall the listing of
these requirements constitute an assumption of
responsibility of liability on the part of JLG Indus-
tries, Inc.
