tions for the express purpose of alerting personnel of potential haz -
ards constituted by the operating characteristics and limitations of

limits of the maximum operating slope.
2.

3.
All machine systems are functioning properly.
Stability
This machine, as originally manufactured by JLG and operated
within its rated capacity on a smooth, firm surface, within the limits
of the maximum operating slope, provides a stable aerial platform
for all platform positions.
3.4 PLATFORM LOADING
The platform maximum rated load capacity is shown on a placard
located on the platform billboard and is based upon the machine
positioned on a smooth, firm surface, within the limits of the maxi -
mum operating slope. Refer to Section 5.1 for the maximum plat -

The platform is entered through an entry gate at the rear of the plat
-
form. Keep entry gate closed at all times except when entering/exit -
ing the platform and loading/unloading materials.
NOTE:
It is important to remember that the load should be evenly dis -
tributed on the platform. The load should be placed near the
center of the platform when possible.
