Inspection
In addition to the trailer inspection requirements noted in
this manual, the chocks must be inspected prior to each
loading of the scissor lift for structural discrepancies and
loose or missing fasteners. Any discrepancies discovered
during this inspection must be corrected before using the
chocks.
Loading/Unloading and Securing the Scissor
LIft
Scissor lifts must only be loaded or unloaded when the
trailer is positioned on a firm level surface that is capable
of bearing the weight of the trailer and its load. The
chocks must be properly positioned to achieve the
required tongue weight (10-15% of load) for the JLG scis-
sor lift.
TO AVOID INSTABILITY, THE SCISSOR LIFT MUST NEVER BE
ELEVATED WHEN LOADING, UNLOADING, OR POSITIONED
UPON THE TRAILER.
When loading, the trailer deck must be fully lowered onto
the ground. The scissor lift must be carefully driven for-
ward into (and against) the chocks with the chassis of the
scissor lift centered within the trailer. Once both front
wheels of the scissor lift are firmly positioned against the
chock, the front and rear of the scissor lift must be prop-
erly secured to the designated tie-down points on the
trailer deck using suitable tie-down equipment. Refer to
Figure 3-2. Before moving the trailer, ensure that the trailer
deck is fully raised and the travel latch is locked into posi-
tion.
Removal and Installation of Chocks (If
Equipped)
JLG discourages removal of the scissor chocks. In cases
where removal and reinstallation is required, the chocks
must be installed as follows:
1. Position the chocks in the original mounting loca-
tions as specified in Figure 3-3., Chock Location.
THE ORIGINAL FASTENERS CANNOT BE REUSED.
NOTE: Purchase new fasteners as referenced in the table
below.
2. Apply loctite #242 to the fasteners and install the
chocks into position. (See Figure 3-3., Chock Loca-
tion).
3. Torque the bolt/nut assemblies to 85 ft lbs.
