SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3120774 – JLG Lift – 1-1
SECTION 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 GENERAL
This section prescribes the proper and safe practices for major
areas of machine usage which have been divided into three basic
categories: Transporting, Pre-Operation and Operation. In order to
promote proper usage of the machine, it is mandatory that a daily
routine be established based on instruction given in this section. A
maintenance program must also be established by a qualified per-
son and must be followed to ensure that the machine is safe to
operate.
The user/operator of the machine should not accept operating
responsibility until this manual has been READ and UNDER-
STOOD, and operating instructions of the machine under the
supervision of an experienced and qualified operator, has been
completed. If there is a question on application and/or operation,
JLG Industries Product Safety and Reliability Department should
be consulted.
MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE WITHOUT APPROVAL OF JLG INDUS-
TRIES INC., OR CERTIFICATION BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TEST-
ING LAB TO BE IN CONFORMITY WITH APPLICABLE OSHA
REGULATIONS, AND TO BE AT LEAST AS SAFE AS BEFORE MODIFICA-
TION, IS PROHIBITED AND IS A VIOLATION OF OSHA RULES.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1-2 – JLG Lift – 3120774
1.2 PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY
• Read your manual. understand what you’ve read - then
begin operations.
• Allow only those authorized and qualified personnel to
operate machine who have demonstrated that they under-
stand safe and proper operation and maintenance of the
unit.
• An operator must not accept operating responsibilities
until adequate training has been given by competent and
authorized persons.
• Before operation check work area for overhead electric
lines. (see electrocution hazard, section 1-2.)
• Before operation check work area for machine traffic such
as forklifts, cranes, and other construction equipment.
• Set-up machine for operation only on a smooth, firm level
surface.
• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial platforms presence. Dis-
connect power to overhead cranes, barricade floor area if
necessary.
• Precautions to avoid all known hazards in the work area
must be taken by the operator and his supervisor before
starting the work.
• Do not operate this machine unless it has been serviced
and maintained according to the manufacturers specifica-
tions and schedule.
• Ensure daily inspection and function check is performed
prior to placing machine into operation. Have authorized
personnel take any necessary corrective action before
placing machine into operation.
• Never disable or modify any safety device. Any modifica-
tion of the machine is a safety violation and is a violation of
osha and ansi rules.
• Do not operate machine when exposed to high wind, rain
or snow.
• Never operate or raise platform when machine is on a
truck or other vehicle.

1.3 OPERATING SAFETY
• Do not operate any machine on which danger, warning,
caution or instruction placards or decals are missing or
illegible.
• Never exceed manufacturers rated platform capacity -
refer to capacity decal on machine.
• Do not enter platform until the floor brake has been prop-
erly adjusted and the unit’s base frame is level according
to the bubble level indicator on base frame.
• Do not operate machine on soft footing that will allow the
floor brake to settle into or break through surface.
• Never operate a malfunctioning machine. If a malfunction
occurs, shut down the machine, remove it from service,
and notify proper authorities.
• While operating the machine, personnel in the platform
shall at all times wear approved fall protection equipment
and other safety gear as required. A lanyard attachment is
supplied on the top rail at the rear of the platform. Failure

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3120774 – JLG Lift – 1-5
• Transfers between a structure and the platform expose
operators to fall potentials. this practice should be dis-
couraged wherever possible. Where transfer must be
accomplished to perform the job, two lanyards will be
used and the platform must be within 1 foot (0.3 m) of the
adjacent - safe and secure - structure. one lanyard should
be attached to the platform, the other to the structure. The
safety lanyard that is attached to the platform should not
be disconnected until such time as the transfer to the
structure is complete.
• No horseplay is permitted in platform.
• Do not allow personnel to tamper with, service, or operate
this machine from the ground with personnel in platform
except in an emergency.
• During platform operation keep all body parts inside plat-
form railings.
• Never position ladders, steps, or similar items on unit to
provide additional reach for any purpose.
• When working from platform both feet must be firmly posi-
tioned on deck.
• Do not extend reach limits of this machine with additional
equipment such as planks, boxes, etc.

1.4 Electrocution Hazard 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 (0.3m) additional clearance is required for every additional
30,000 volts or less.
The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insulating bar-
riers 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 approach
distance shall be reduced to a distance within the designed work-
ing dimensions 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.
