• Do not operate any machine on which the safety or instruction
placards or decals are missing or illegible.
• Check the machine for modifications to original components.
Ensure that any modifications have been approved by JLG.
• Avoid accumulation of debris on platform floor. Keep mud, oil,
grease, and other slippery substances from footwear and plat-
form floor.
1.3 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 position-
ing personnel, their tools, and equipment.
• Before operation, the user must be familiar with the machine
capabilities and operating characteristics of all functions.
• Never operate a malfunctioning machine. If a malfunction
occurs, shut down the machine. Remove the unit from service
and notify the proper authorities.
• Do not remove, modify, or disable any safety devices.
• 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 con-
trols 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.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-4 – JLG Lift – 3121252
• Do not carry materials directly on platform railing unless
approved by JLG.
• When two or more persons are in the platform, the operator
shall be responsible for all machine operations.
• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed and never
left hanging by their cord from the platform work area.
• When driving, always position boom over rear axle in line with
the direction of travel. Remember, if boom is over the front
axle, steer and drive functions will be reversed.
• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing or pull-
ing except by pulling at the chassis tie-down lugs.
• Fully lower platform and shut off all power before leaving
machine.
• Remove all rings, watches, and jewelry when operating

strained which may become caught or entangled in equip-
ment.
• Persons under the influence of drugs or alcohol or who are
subject to seizures, dizziness or loss of physical control must
not operate this machine.
• Hydraulic cylinders are subject to thermal expansion and con-
traction. This may result in changes to the boom and/or plat-
form position while the machine is stationary. Factors
affecting thermal movement can include the length of time
the machine will remain stationary, hydraulic oil temperature,

• During operation, occupants in the platform must wear a full
body harness with a lanyard attached to an authorized lanyard
anchorage point. Attach only one (1) lanyard per lanyard
anchorage point..
• Enter and exit only through gate area. Use extreme caution
when entering or leaving platform. Ensure that the platform
assembly is fully lowered. Face the machine when entering or
leaving the platform. Always maintain “three point contact”
with the machine, using two hands and one foot or two feet
and one hand at all times during entry and exit.

• The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insulating
barriers are installed to prevent contact, and the barriers are
rated for the voltage of the line being guarded. These barriers
shall not be part of (or attached to) the machine. The mini-
mum approach distance shall be reduced to a distance within
the designed working dimensions of the insulating barrier.
This determination shall be made by a qualified person in
accordance with the employer, local, or governmental require-
ments for work practices near energized equipment
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIBITED ZONE (MAD).
ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WIRING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTH-
ERWISE.
Tipping Hazards
• The user must be familiar with the surface before driving. Do
not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade while driving.
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated while
on or near a sloping, uneven, or soft surface. Ensure machine is
positioned on a firm, level and smooth surface before elevat-
ing platform or driving with the platform in the elevated posi-
tion.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other surfaces,
check allowable capacity of the surfaces.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-8 – JLG Lift – 3121252
• Never exceed the maximum work load as specified on the
platform. Keep all loads within the confines of the platform,
unless authorized by JLG.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed
holes, and other potential hazards at the ground level.
• Do not push or pull any object with the boom.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-off
machine to any adjacent structure. Never attach wire, cable, or
any similar items to platform.
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed 28
mph (12.5 m/s). Refer to Table 1-2, Beaufort Scale (For Refer-
ence Only).
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the load.
Increase of the area exposed to the wind will decrease stabil-
ity.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
• If boom assembly or platform is in a position that one or more
wheels are off the ground, all persons must be removed before
attempting to stabilize the machine. Use cranes, forklift trucks,
or other appropriate equipment to stabilize machine.
