Jib Boom Movement For Travel - JLG X17JPLUS Operator, Safety, And General Maintenance Manual

USING THE MACHINE
TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
The machine is equipped with an automatic system of inclination
sensing during translation, the possible translation speeds are adju‐
sted according to the weight in basket, undercarriage closed or ope‐
ned, position of JIB and inclination of the ground. In case of approach
to dangerous inclinations for machineʹs stability, both lateral and longitudi‐
nal, a beeper is activated and afterwards the translation is forbidden. The
only allowed operation to exit this condition is activate the consent to move‐
ment pressing button 8 on remote control and bring the machine in safety
condition reducing the inclination, it is absolutely forbidden to increase the
inclination of the machine as it could cause overturning with consequent
danger for operator or people nearby the machine.
The safety systems introduced to limit the risks of the manoeuvre are a valid
help to the operator but unfortunately cannot eliminate dangers caused by
improper or regardless use of the machine. It is operatorʹs responsibility to
run the machine safely, checking the ground conditions, evaluating the ob‐
stacles and dangers in the working area and following the rules of this ma‐
nual and indications on decals and display of the machine.
