1.3 TRAINING MECHANICS AS
OPERATORS
Because it is necessary to move the vehicle to service or
maintain the vehicle, it is necessary that all mechanics
are OSHA trained and certified as operators. A
mechanic trained in the proper operation of the vehicle
can better determine whether all the functions are
operating correctly.
At the time of original purchase, the purchaser of this
vehicle was instructed by the seller on its proper use.
When this vehicle is to be serviced or maintained by
someone other than the purchaser, make certain that the
mechanic is trained, in accordance with the OSHA
regulations listed in the NOTICE below, and reads and
understands the Sky Trak MMV Telescopic Material
Handler Owners/Operators Manual before operating or
maintaining the vehicle.
NOTICE: Under OSHA rules, it is the responsibility of the
employer to provide operator training. Successful com-
pletion and certification of Safety Training for Rough Ter-
rain Forklifts is required. Operator Training Kits are
available by calling Ken Cook Company at
(414) 466-6060. An order form for these kits is available
through our website, http://www.jlg.com.
In addition, make sure that the mechanic has completed
a walk-around inspection of the vehicle, is familiar with
all decals and/or decal plates on the vehicle, and has
demonstrated the correct use of all controls.
