• Do not allow ropes to contact surfaces with a temperature
higher than 60°C/140°F
• When performing welding, cutting or grinding operations,
avoid direct contact of heat, sparks and debris with the
ropes and carriage drive assembly.
• Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
Vibrations emitted by this machine is not hazardous to an operator
in the work platform. The equivalent continuous A-Weighted sound
pressure level at the work platform is less than 70dB(A).
Trip and Fall Hazard
• Do not enter or leave the platform while elevated.
• JLG recommends that the operator utilises a fall restraint
system in the platform with a maximum 36 inch (91.4cm)
lanyard attached to the authorised lanyard anchorage
point. For further information regarding fall protection
requirements on JLG products, contact JLG.
• Before operating the machine, make sure all railings and
gates are fastened in their proper position.
• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all
times. Never use ladders, boxes, steps, planks, or similar
items on platform to provide additional reach.
• Never use the mast assembly to enter or leave the plat-
form.

• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving the plat-
form. Ensure that the mast 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.
Electrocution Hazard
• 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 10 ft. (3m) between any
part of the machine and its occupants, their tools, and
their equipment from any electrical line or apparatus car-

rying up to 50,000 volts. One foot (0.3m) additional clear-
ance is required for every additional 30,000 volts or less.
• The minimum safe approach distance may be reduced if
insulating barriers are installed to prevent contact, and if
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 minimum safe approach distance
shall be reduced to a distance within the designed work-
ing dimensions of the insulating barrier. This determina-
tion 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
• Only elevate the platform on a firm and level surface.
• Check that the two wheels and the two adjustable feet are
in contact with the ground prior to using the machine.
Adjust the front feet to eliminate any base frame move-
ment and check the bubble level indicates level prior to
use.
• Ensure castor wheels are locked (if equipped).

• Do not perform work that will subject unit to a horizontal
force or create a swaying motion of the platform.
• Do not elevate if wind exceeds a gentle breeze (5m/s,
Beaufort scale 3 - small twigs in constant motion/flags fly
extended). Refer to Table 5-2 for Australia and New
Zealand wind rating.
• The user should be familiar with the operating surface.
• Do not elevate platform while on a slope, or on an uneven
or soft surface.
• Before using on floors, bridges, and other surfaces, check
allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute
loads evenly on platform floor and tool tray.
• Keep the base of the machine a minimum of 0.6m (2 ft)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-
off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorised exten-
sions or attachments, increasing the area exposed to wind
will decrease stability.
• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or more
wheels are off the ground, the operator must be removed
before attempting to free the machine. Use cranes, forklift
trucks, or other appropriate equipment to stabilize
machine and remove personnel.

• Appropriate personal protection equipment must be worn
by all operating and ground personnel.
• Check work area clearances above, on sides, and bottom
of platform while moving, lifting or lowering platform.
• During operation keep all body parts inside platform rail-
ing.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles
from striking or interfering with operating controls and per-
sons in the platform.
• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the machine's presence. Discon-
nect power to overhead cranes.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised
platform. Position barricades on floor as necessary.
1.4 MOVING, LIFTING AND REPOSITIONING
General
Never allow personnel in platform while moving, lifting or reposi-
tioning the machine.
This machine shall not be towed by a vehicle.
Ensure platform is fully retracted and completely empty of tools
prior to disassembly, lifting or hauling.
Remove powerpack and tool tray (if fitted) from platform when
transporting in a vehicle.
Refer to the Machine Operation section of this manual for lifting
information.
Additional Safety Information
• Do not use machine as ground for welding.
• Keep all naked flames and sharp edges away from ropes.
• Do not attempt to transport assembled machinery by fork-
lift.
• Avoid contact of the ropes with stem pipes and other hot
surfaces
