4.10 SAFETY PROP
THE SAFETY PROP MUST BE USED WHENEVER MAINTENANCE
PERFORMED ON THE MACHINE REQUIRES THE SCISSOR ARMS
TO BE RAISED.
To engage the safety prop, raise the platform, then rotate
the prop clockwise until it hangs vertically. Lower the plat-
form until the safety prop rests on the point provided on
the frame. Maintenance can now begin.
To store the safety prop, raise the platform so that the
prop can be rotated counterclockwise until it rests on the
stop provided on the scissor arms.
4.11 TRANSPORTING, TIE DOWN AND
LIFTING
Transporting (Loading/Unloading)
It is recommended the machine be winched when load-
ing/unloading on a tilt/rollback type truck or trailer. Due to
a potential loss of traction, winch using the frame
mounted D-Rings. To winch be sure the machine brakes
are released.
Refer to the Emergency Towing Procedures in Section 6
or the Emergency Towing decal affixed to the machine.
BE SURE THE MACHINE IS ON A LEVEL SURFACE OR PROP-
ERLY SECURED BEFORE RELEASING THE BRAKES.
.
USE TIE DOWN EYES ONLY TO SECURE THE MACHINE FOR
SHIPPING. DO NOT USE TIE DOWN EYES TO LIFT THE MACHINE.
Tie Down
When transporting the machine, the platform extension
must be fully retracted and the platform fully lowered in
the stowed mode with the machine securely tied down to
the truck or trailer deck. A D-ring is bolted to both the cen-
ter front and center rear of the frame for tie-down
Lifting
If it becomes necessary to lift the machine, it is possible to
lift the machine with a forklift. On all models forklift pock-
ets are provided at the rear of the machine.
In addition, all models can be lifted from either side with a
forklift, provided the forks are placed at the positions indi-
cated by the decals on the machine. It is very important
that the forklift operator use only the designated lifting
areas to lift the machine.
NOTE: Machines may be equipped with optional bolt-on lift-
ing lugs, which are attached to the four corners of
the frame. These lugs enable the machine to be
lifted using cranes or other suitable lifting devices.
NOTE: If lifting becomes necessary, from the optional bolt
on lifting lugs, JLG Industries Inc. recommends the
use of a proper spreader bar to avoid damage to the
machine.
NOTE: Forklifts, cranes, or other lifting devices must be
capable of handling the following weights: 1532E3 -
2,630 lb. (1,193kg); 1932E3 - 2,900 lb. (1,315 kg);
2033E3 - 3,700 lb. (1,678 kg); 2046E3 - 3,940 lb.
(1,787 kg); 2646E3 - 4,370 lb. (1,982 kg); 2658E3 -
4,680 lb. (2,123 kg).
4.12 TOWING
