Safety Decals - JLG G5-18A Service Manual

Safety Practices
COOLANT SYSTEM CAP: The cooling system is under
pressure, and escaping coolant can cause severe burns and
eye injury. To prevent personal injury, NEVER remove the
coolant system cap while the cooling system is hot. Wear
safety glasses. Turn the coolant system cap to allow pressure
to escape before removing the cap completely. Failure to
follow the safety practices could result in death or serious
injury.
FLUID FLAMABILTITY: DO NOT service the fuel or hydraulic
systems near an open flame, sparks or smoking materials.
Properly disconnect battery prior to servicing the fuel or
hydraulic systems.

NEVER drain or store fluids in an open container. Engine fuel
and hydraulic fluid are flammable and can cause a fire and/or
explosion.
DO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. The mixture
can cause an explosion.
PRESSURE TESTING: When conducting any test, only use test
equipment that is correctly calibrated and in good condition.
Use the correct equipment in the proper manner, and make
changes or repairs as indicated by the test procedure to
achieve the desired result.
LEAVING MACHINE: Lower the forks or attachment to the
ground before leaving the machine.
TIRES: Always keep tires inflated to the proper pressure to
help prevent tipover. DO NOT over-inflate tires.
NEVER use mismatched tire types, sizes or ply ratings.
Always use matched sets according to machine
specifications.
MAJOR COMPONENTS: Never alter, remove, or substitute any
items such as counterweights, tires, batteries or other items
that may reduce or affect the overall weight or stability of the
machine.
BATTERY: DO NOT charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen
battery may cause it to explode. Allow the battery to thaw
before jump-starting or connecting a battery charger.
