SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
31217162 1-3
1.3 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 position-
ing 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 service
and notify the proper authorities.
• Do not remove, modify, or disable any safety devices.
• Never slam a control switch or lever through neutral to an
opposite direction. Always return switch to neutral and stop
before moving the switch to the next function. Operate con-
trols with slow and even pressure.
• 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.
• When two or more persons are in the platform, the operator
shall be responsible for all machine operations.
• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed and never
left hanging by their cord from the platform work area.
• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing or pull-
ing except by pulling at the chassis tie-down lugs.
• Fully lower platform and shut off all power before leaving
machine.
• Remove all rings, watches, and jewelry when operating
machine. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or long hair unre-
strained which may become caught or entangled in equip-
ment.
• 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.
• Hydraulic cylinders are subject to thermal expansion and con-
traction. This may result in changes to the platform position
while the machine is stationary. Factors affecting thermal
movement can include the length of time the machine will
remain stationary, hydraulic oil temperature, ambient air tem-
perature, and platform position.
