FOREWORD
The purpose of this manual is to provide users with the operating procedures essential for the promotion of proper machine
operation for its intended purpose. It is important to over-stress proper machine usage. All information in this manual should
be READ and UNDERSTOOD before any attempt is made to operate the machine. YOUR OPERATING MANUAL IS
YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TOOL - Keep it with the machine. REMEMBER ANY EQUIPMENT IS ONLY AS
SAFE AS THE OPERATOR.
BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER MACHINE APPLICATION AND
OPERATION, PROPER SAFETY PRACTICES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER AND HIS OPER-
ATING PERSONNEL.
ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BASED ON THE USE OF THE MACHINE UNDER PROPER
OPERATING CONDITIONS, WITH NO DEVIATIONS FROM THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. ALTERATION AND/
OR MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, WITHOUT WRITTEN APPROVAL
FROM JLG INDUSTRIES, PER OSHA REGULATIONS.
THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL IS USED TO CALL ATTENTION TO POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH
MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF IGNORED.
Safety of personnel and proper use of the machine are of primary concern, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION,
IMPORTANT, INSTRUCTIONS and NOTE are inserted throughout this manual to emphasize these areas. They are
defined as follows:
DANGER INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WARNING INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION
WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
DEATH. OR DEATH.
JLG INDUSTRIES MAY HAVE ISSUED SAFETY RELATED BULLETINS FOR YOUR JLG PRODUCT. CONTACT JLG INDUSTRIES INC.
OR THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED JLG DISTRIBUTOR FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING SAFETY RELATED BULLETINS WHICH MAY
HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR YOUR JLG PRODUCT. ALL ITEMS REQUIRED BY THE SAFETY RELATED BULLETINS MUST BE COM-
PLETED ON THE AFFECTED JLG PRODUCT. CALL 1 - 877 - JLG - SAFE
Due to continuous product improvements, JLG Industries, Inc. reserves the right to make specification changes without prior notifica-
