SECTION 3. USER RESPONSIBILITIES AND MACHINE CONTROL
3.1 GENERAL
SINCE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER
MACHINE APPLICATION AND OPERATION, CONFORMANCE WITH
GOOD SAFETY PRACTICES IN THESE AREAS IS THE RESPONSI-
BILITY OF THE USER AND HIS OPERATING PERSONNEL.
This section provides the necessary information needed
to understand control functions. Included in this section
are the operating characteristics and limitations, and func-
tions and purposes of controls and indicators. It is impor-
tant that the user read and understand the proper
procedures before operating the machine. These proce-
dures will aid in obtaining optimum service life and safe
operation.
3.2 PERSONNEL TRAINING
The scissor lift is a personnel handling device; therefore, it
is essential that it be operated and maintained only by
authorized personnel who have demonstrated that they
understand the proper use and maintenance of the
machine. It is important that all personnel who are
assigned to and responsible for the operation and mainte-
nance of the machine undergo a thorough training pro-
gram and check out period in order to become familiar
with the characteristics prior to operating the machine.
Persons under the influence of drugs or alcohol or who
are subject to seizures, dizziness or loss of physical con-
trol must not be permitted to operate the machine.
Operator Training
Operator training must include instruction in the following:
1. Use and limitations of the platform controls, ground
controls, emergency controls and safety systems.
2. Knowledge and understanding of this manual and of
the control markings, instructions and warnings on
the machine itself.
3. Knowledge and understanding of all safety work
rules of the employer and of Federal, State and
Local Statutes, including training in the recognition
and avoidance of potential hazards in the work
place; with particular attention to the work to be per-
formed.
4. Proper use of all required personnel safety equip-
ment.
5. Sufficient knowledge of the mechanical operation of
the machine to recognize a malfunction or potential
malfunction.
6. The safest means to operate near overhead obstruc-
tions, other moving equipment, obstacles, depres-
sions, holes, dropoffs, etc. on the supporting
surface.
7. Means to avoid the hazards of unprotected electrical
conductors.
8. Any other requirements of a specific job or machine
application.
Training Supervision
Training must be done under the supervision of a qualified
operator or supervisor in an open area free of obstructions
until the trainee has developed the ability to safely control
a scissor lift in congested work locations.
Operator Responsibility
The operator must be instructed that he has the responsi-
bility and authority to shut down the machine in case of a
malfunction or other unsafe condition of either the
machine or the job site and to request further information
from his supervisor or JLG Distributor before proceeding.
NOTE: Manufacturer or Dealer will provide qualified persons
for training assistance with first unit(s) delivered and
thereafter as requested by user or his personnel.
3.3 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND
LIMITATIONS
General
A thorough knowledge of the operating characteristics
and limitations of the machine is always the first require-
ment for any user, regardless of user’s experience with
similar types of equipment.
Placards
Important points to remember during operation are pro-
vided at the control stations by DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, IMPORTANT and INSTRUCTION placards. This
information is placed at various locations for the express
purpose of alerting personnel of potential hazards consti-
tuted by the operating characteristics and load limitations
of the machine. See foreword for definitions of the above
placards.
