Chemical Hazards
Exhaust Fumes
• DO NOT operate machine in an enclosed area without proper ventilation.
• DO NOT operate the machine in hazardous environments unless approved for that
purpose by JLG and site owner. Sparks from the electrical system and the engine
exhaust can cause an explosion.
Flammable Fuel
• DO NOT fill the fuel tank or service the fuel system near an open flame, sparks or
smoking materials. Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire and/or explosion.
Hydraulic Fluid
• DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hoses or fittings while the engine is
running or when the hydraulic system is under pressure.
• Stop engine and relieve trapped pressure. Fluid in the hydraulic system is under
enough pressure that it can penetrate the skin.
• DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search
for leaks. Wear gloves to protect hands from spraying fluid.
Welding
• DO NOT use machine as a ground for welding.
• When performing welding or metal cutting operations, precautions must be taken to
protect the chassis from direct exposure to weld and metal cutting spatter.
