SECTION 1. SAFETY
1.1 GENERAL
This section outlines the necessary precautions for towing and
also proper and safe machine operation and maintenance. For
proper machine use, it is mandatory that a daily routine is estab-
lished based on the content of this manual. A maintenance pro-
gram, using the information provided in this manual and the
Service and Maintenance Manual, must also be established by a

not cover all of the specific details necessary for the proper com-
bination of every trailer, tow vehicle and hitch. Therefore, you
must read, understand and follow the instructions given by the
tow vehicle and trailer hitch manufacturers, as well as the instruc-
tions in this manual.
The owner/user/operator/lessor/lessee of the machine should
not operate the machine until this manual has been read, training
is accomplished, and operation of the machine has been com-
pleted under the supervision of an experienced and qualified
operator.

tion, maintenance, application, and operation, please contact JLG
