SECTION 1 – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
31210088 – JLG Lift – 1-7
• Do not raise the platform or drive from an elevated posi-
tion unless the machine is on firm, level and smooth sur-
faces.
• When travelling on grades (Refer to Section 4), the plat-
form MUST be fully lowered. It is recommended to drive
up the grade in FORWARD gear and to REVERSE down
the slope.
• Keep the chassis of the machine at least 0,6 m (2 ft.) from
holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed
holes, and other potential hazards on the floor/surface.
• Do not push or pull any object with the extending struc-
ture.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-
off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed
12.5 m/s (28 mph). Refer to Table 1-2, Beaufort Scale (For
Reference Only).
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the
load. Increase of the area exposed to the wind will
decrease stability.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
• If extending structure assembly or platform is in a position
that one or more wheels are off the ground, all persons
must be removed before attempting to stabilize the
machine. Use cranes, forklift trucks, or other appropriate
equipment to stabilize machine.
