Trip And Fall Hazards - JLG 600S Operation And Safety Manual

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed and never
left hanging by their cord from the platform work area.
• When driving, always position boom over rear axle in line with
the direction of travel. Remember, if boom is over the front
axle, steer and drive functions will be reversed.
• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing or pull-
ing except by pulling at the chassis tie-down lugs.
• Fully lower platform and shut off all power before leaving
machine.
• Remove all rings, watches, and jewelry when operating
machine. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or long hair unre-
strained which may become caught or entangled in equip-
ment.
• Persons under the influence of drugs or alcohol or who are
subject to seizures, dizziness or loss of physical control must
not operate this machine.
• Hydraulic cylinders are subject to thermal expansion and con-
traction. This may result in changes to the platform position
while the machine is stationary. Factors affecting thermal
movement can include the length of time the machine will
remain stationary, hydraulic oil temperature, ambient air tem-
perature and platform position.
