SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Always relieve hydraulic pressure from all hydraulic
circuits before loosening or removing hydraulic
components.
• DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Wear
gloves to help protect hands from spraying fluid.
• Use only replacement parts or components that are
approved by JLG. To be considered approved,
replacement parts or components must be identical
or equivalent to original parts or components.
• Never attempt to move heavy parts without the aid
of a mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects
to rest in an unstable position. Ensure adequate sup-
port is provided when raising components of the
machine.

• Do not use machine as a ground for welding.
• When performing welding or metal cutting opera-
tions, precautions must be taken to protect the
chassis from direct exposure to weld and metal cut-
ting spatter.
• Do not refuel the machine with the engine running.
• Use only approved non-flammable cleaning sol-
vents.
• Do not replace items critical to stability, such as bat-
teries or solid tires, with items of different weight or
specification. Do not modify the MEWP in any way to
affect stability.
• Refer to the Service and Maintenance Manual for the
weights of critical stability items.
MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION OF A MEWP SHALL BE MADE ONLY WITH
PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
