SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never exceed the maximum work load as specified on the
platform. Keep all loads within the confines of the platform,
unless authorized by JLG.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed
holes, and other potential hazards at the ground level.
• Do not push or pull any object with the boom.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-off
machine to any adjacent structure. Never attach wire, cable, or
any similar items to platform.
1-8
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed 28
mph (12.5 m/s). Refer to Table 1-2, Beaufort Scale (For Refer-
ence Only).
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the load.
Increase of the area exposed to the wind will decrease stabil-
ity.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
• If boom 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.
