Crushing And Collision Hazard - JLG 15MVL Operation And Safety Manual

• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated
while on a slope, or on an uneven or soft surface.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other surfaces,
check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute
loads evenly on platform floor.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-off
machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments, increasing the area exposed to
wind will decrease stability.
• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or more
wheels are off the ground, the operator must be removed
before attempting to free the machine. Use cranes, forklift
trucks, or other appropriate equipment to stabilize machine
and remove personnel.
