SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3121227 – JLG Lift – 1-7
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated
while on a slope, or on an uneven or soft surface.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other sur-
faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute
loads evenly on platform floor and material tray.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-
off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments, increasing the area exposed
to wind will decrease stability.
• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or more
wheels are off the ground, the operator must be removed
before attempting to free the machine. Use cranes, forklift
trucks, or other appropriate equipment to stabilize
machine and remove personnel.
Crushing And Collision Hazards
• Personal protection equipment must be worn by all oper-
ating and ground personnel.
• Check work area clearances above, on sides, and bottom
of platform while driving and lifting or lowering platform.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform rail-
ing.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision
is obstructed.
