OPERATION

General

• Machine operation requires your full attention. Bring the
machine to a full stop before using any device, i.e. cell
phones, two-way radios, etc. that will distract your attention
from safely operating the machine.
• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than posi-
tioning personnel, their tools and equipment, or for hand
stock picking or placing.
• Never operate a malfunctioning machine. If a malfunction
occurs, shut down the machine. Remove the unit from ser-
vice and notify the proper authorities.
• Never slam a control switch or lever through neutral to an
opposite direction. Always return switch to neutral and stop
before moving the switch to the next function. Operate
controls with slow and even pressure.
• Do not allow personnel to tamper with or operate the
machine from the ground with personnel in the platform,
except in an emergency.
• Do not carry materials directly on platform railing unless
approved by JLG.
• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed and
never left hanging by their cord from the platform work
area.

subject to seizures, dizziness, or loss of physical control
must not operate this machine.

thermal movement can include the length of time the
machine will remain stationary, hydraulic oil temperature,
ambient air temperature and platform position.
