SECTION 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 GENERAL.
This section prescribes the proper and safe practices for
major areas of machine usage which have been divided
into two basic categories; Driving and Operation. In order
to promote proper usage of the machine, it is mandatory
that a daily routine be established based on instruction
given in this section. A maintenance program must also
be established by a qualified person and must be followed
to ensure that the machine is safe to operate.
The owner/user/operator of the machine should not
accept operating responsibility until this manual has been
read and understood, and operation of the machine,
under the supervision of an experienced and qualified
operator, has been completed. Owner/user/operator 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 concerning
safety, training, inspection, maintenance, application and
operation. If there is a question on application and/or
operation, JLG Industries, Inc., Product Safety and Reli-
ability should be consulted.
