5.13 MATERIAL HOOK OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
When utilizing a JLG lift equipped with a material hook the fol-
lowing additional precautions must be observed.
The combined weight of material and rigging equipment must
not exceed the maximum load capacity of the material hook.
Be aware of clearances above, below, and around the machine
when handling material with the material hook.
Attach a line to restrict movement of the load.
Keep slings and chains as short as possible. Excessively long
slings and chains allow the load the swing and could cause the
machine to overturn.
Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed 28
mph (12.5 m/s).
REMEMBER, THE MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED AND DOES NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION
FROM CONTACT WITH OR PROXIMITY TO ELECTRICAL CURRENT. MAINTAIN A SAFE
DISTANCE AND CLEARANCE FROM ELECTRICAL LINES, APPARATUS OR ANY ENER-
GIZED PARTS. ALLOW FOR MACHINE MOVEMENT AND ELECTRICAL LINE SWAYING.
