3.3 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS
Placards
Important points to remember during operation are provided at
the control stations by DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, IMPORT-
ANT and INSTRUCTION placards. This information is placed at var-
ious locations for the express purpose of alerting personnel of
potential hazards constituted by the operating characteristics
and load limitations of the machine. See Foreword for definitions
of the above placards.
Capacities
Raising platform above horizontal with or without any load in
platform is based on the following criteria:
1. Machine is positioned on a smooth, firm surface within the
limits of the maximum operating slope.
2. Load is within manufacturer’s rated capacity.
3. All machine systems are functioning properly.
Stability
This machine, as originally manufactured by JLG and operated
within its rated capacity on a smooth, firm surface, within the lim-
its of the maximum operating slope, provides a stable aerial plat-
form for all platform positions.
3.4 PLATFORM LOADING
The platform maximum rated load capacity is shown on a placard
located on the platform billboard and is based upon the machine
positioned on a smooth, firm surface, within the limits of the
maximum operating slope. Refer to Section 6.3 for the maximum
platform capacity.
The platform is entered through an entry gate at the rear of the
platform. Keep gate closed at all times except when entering/
exiting the platform and loading/unloading materials.
NOTE: It is important to remember that the load should be evenly dis-
tributed on the platform. The load should be placed near the
center of the platform when possible.
