leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or
paper to search for leaks. Wear
gloves to help protect hands from

ponents that are approved by JLG. To be considered approved,
replacement parts or components must be identical or equiva-
lent to original parts or components
.

mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest in an
unstable position. Ensure adequate support is provided when
raising components of the machine.
• Use only approved non-flammable cleaning solvents.
• Do not replace items critical to stability, such as batteries or
tires, with items of different weight or specification. Do not
modify unit in any way to affect stability.
