tions, debris, concealed holes, and other potential hazards.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3121742 – JLG Lift – 1-5
•Check the work area for hazardous locations. Do not oper-
ate the machine in hazardous environments unless
approved for that purpose by JLG.
•Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to support
the maximum tire load indicated on the tire load decals
located on the chassis adjacent to each wheel.
Machine Inspection

1.4 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.
•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 ser-
vice and notify the proper authorities.
•Do not remove, modify, or disable any safety devices.
•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.
•Fully lower platform before leaving machine.
•Remove all rings, watches, and jewelry when operating
machine. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or long hair
unrestrained which may become caught or entangled in
equipment.
•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.
Trip and Fall Hazard
•Prior to operation, ensure all gates and rails are fastened
and secured in their proper position.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3121742 – JLG Lift – 1-7
•JLG recommends that the operator utilizes a fall/travel
restraint system in the platform with a lanyard attached to
an authorized lanyard anchorage point. For further infor-
mation regarding fall protection requirements on JLG prod-
ucts, contact JLG.
•Identify the designated lanyard anchorage point at the plat-
form and securely attach the lanyard. 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 con-
tact” with the machine, using two hands and one foot or
two feet and one hand at all times during entry and exit.
•Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all
times. Never position ladders, boxes, steps, planks, or simi-
lar items on unit to provide additional reach for any pur-
pose.
•Never use the mast assembly to gain access to or leave the
platform.
•Keep oil, mud, and slippery substances cleaned from foot-
wear and the platform floor.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-8 – JLG Lift – 3121742
Electrocution Hazard
•This machine is not insulated and does not provide protec-
tion 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 carrying up
to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is required for
every additional 30,000 volts or less.

NOTE: This requirement shall apply except where employer, local or govern-
mental regulations are more stringent.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3121742 – JLG Lift – 1-9
•The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insulat-
ing barriers are installed to prevent contact, and the barri-
ers 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 dimensions of
the insulating barrier. This determination shall be made by
a qualified person in accordance with the employer, local,
or governmental requirements for work practices near
energized equipment.
DANGER
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIBITED ZONE (MAD).
ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WIRING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTH-
ERWISE.
Tipping Hazards
•Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to support
the maximum tire load indicated on the tire load decals
located on the chassis adjacent to each wheel. Do not oper-
ate machine on unsupported surfaces.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-10 – JLG Lift – 3121742
•Do not elevate platform while on or near a sloping, uneven,
or soft surface. Ensure machine is positioned on a firm, level
and smooth surface before elevating platform.
•Before operating on floors, bridges, trucks, and other sur-
faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
•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, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
•Never operate machine in high wind, rain or snow.
•Do not perform work that will subject unit to a horizontal
force or create a swaying motion of the platform.
•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 cover the platform sides or carry large surface-area
items in the platform. The addition of such items increases
the exposed wind area of the machine.
•Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck
extensions or attachments.
•If the mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or
more wheels are off the ground, platform personnel must
