Electrocution Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide pro-
tection from contact or proximity to electrical current.
• Maintain distance from electrical lines, apparatus, or any
energized (exposed or insulated) parts according to the
Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) as shown in Table 1-1.
• Allow for machine movement and electrical line swaying.
• Maintain a clearance of at least 3 m (10 ft.) between any
part of the machine and its occupants, their tools and their
equipment from any electrical line or apparatus carrying
up to 50 000 volts. A 0,3 m (1 ft.) additional clearance is
required for every additional 30 000 volts or less.
• The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insu-
lating barriers are installed to prevent contact and the bar-
riers are rated for the voltage of the line being guarded.
These barriers shall not be part of (or attached to) the
machine. The minimum approach distance shall be
reduced to a distance within the designed working dimen-

sions of the insulating barrier. This determination shall be
made by a qualified person in accordance with employer,
local or governmental requirements 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 OTHERWISE.
Tipping Hazards
• The user should be familiar with the surface before driv-
ing. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade
while driving.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute
loads evenly on platform floor.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other sur-
faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated
while on a sloping, uneven, or soft surface.

SECTION 1 – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
31210088 – JLG Lift – 1-7
• Do not raise the platform or drive from an elevated posi-
tion unless the machine is on firm, level and smooth sur-
faces.
• When travelling on grades (Refer to Section 4), the plat-
form MUST be fully lowered. It is recommended to drive
up the grade in FORWARD gear and to REVERSE down
the slope.
• Keep the chassis of the machine at least 0,6 m (2 ft.) from
holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed
holes, and other potential hazards on the floor/surface.
• Do not push or pull any object with the extending struc-
ture.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-
off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions exceed
12.5 m/s (28 mph). Refer to Table 1-2, Beaufort Scale (For
Reference Only).
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the
load. Increase of the area exposed to the wind will
decrease stability.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
• If extending structure 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.

Crushing and Collision Hazards
• Approved head gear must be worn by all operating and
ground personnel.
• Check work area for clearances overhead, on sides, and
bottom of platform when lifting, swinging or lowering plat-
form, and driving.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform rail-
ing.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision
is obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 2m (6 ft.) away
from machine during all driving and swinging operations.
• Limit travel speed according to conditions of ground sur-
face, congestion, visibility, slope, location of personnel,
and other factors which may cause hazard of collision or
injury to personnel.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds. When
driving in high speed, slow down the machine using the
controller before stopping.
• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close quarters
or when driving in reverse.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles
from striking or interfering with operating controls and per-
sons in the platform.
• Be sure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres-
ence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised
extending structure or platform. Position barricades on
floor if necessary.
1.4 TOWING, LIFTING, AND HAULING
• Never allow personnel in platform while towing, lifting, or
hauling.
• This machine should not be towed, except in the event of
emergency, malfunction, power failure, or loading/unload-
ing. Refer to Emergency Towing Procedures Section of
this Manual for emergency towing procedures.
