SECTION 5 - PLATFORM

5.1

APPROVED PLATFORMS

To determine if platform is approved for use on the specific telehandler you are
using, perform the following prior to installation.

• The platform model/option number on the platform identification plate must

match the platform number on a capacity chart located in the operator cab.

• The telehandler model on the capacity chart must match the model telehandler

being used.

If the above condition is not met, do not use the platform attachment. The
telehandler may not be equipped for the attachment or the attachment may not be
approved for the model telehandler being used. Contact JLG or the local distributor
for further information.

5.2

UNAPPROVED PLATFORMS

Do not use unapproved platforms for the following reasons:

• Range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade, altered, or other

non-approved platforms cannot be established.

• An overextended or overloaded telehandler can tip over with little or no warning

and cause serious injury or death to the operator and/or those working nearby.

• The ability of a non-approved platform to perform its intended function safely

cannot be assured.

WARNING

Use only approved attachments. Attachments which have not been approved for
use with your telehandler could cause machine damage or an accident.
