Chemical Hazards

Exhaust Fumes

DO NOT operate machine in an enclosed area without proper ventilation.

DO NOT operate the machine in hazardous environments unless approved for

that purpose by JLG and site owner. Sparks from the electrical system and the
engine exhaust can cause an explosion.

• If spark arrestors are required, ensure they are in place and in good working

order.

Flammable Fuel

DO NOT fill the fuel tank or service the fuel system near an open flame, sparks

or smoking materials. Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire and/or
explosion.

Hydraulic Fluid

DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hoses or fittings while the

engine is running or when the hydraulic system is under pressure.

• Stop engine and relieve trapped pressure. Fluid in the hydraulic system is under

enough pressure that it can penetrate the skin.

DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to

search for leaks. Wear gloves to protect hands from spraying fluid.
