4.2 BOOM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND
LIMITATIONS
Capacities
Raising boom above horizontal with or without any load in
platform, is based on the following criteria:
1. Machine is positioned on a smooth, firm and level sur-
face.
2. Load is within manufacturers rated design capacity.
3. All machine systems are functioning properly.
4. Machine is as originally equipped from JLG.
Stability
Machine stability is based on two (2) conditions which are
called Forward and Backward stability. The machine’s posi-
tion of least Forward stability is shown in Figure 4-1., and its
position of least Backward stability is shown in Figure 4-2.
TO AVOID FORWARD OR BACKWARD TIPPING, DO NOT OVERLOAD
MACHINE OR OPERATE THE MACHINE ON AN OUT-OF-LEVEL SURFACE.
