Safety Precautions and Operational Guidelines =============================================

To ensure safe usage and prevent potential hazards, it is crucial to adhere to specific safety precautions and operational guidelines. These guidelines encompass personnel qualifications, workplace inspections, and machine inspections. Following these instructions will help maintain a safe working environment and prevent accidents.

Personnel Qualifications


Only properly trained personnel who have received unit-specific familiarization shall operate a MEWP. The user shall determine if personnel are qualified to operate the MEWP prior to operation. [1]

All operating personnel must have a thorough understanding of the intended purpose and function of the MEWP controls, including platform, ground and emergency descent controls. [1]

Read, understand, and obey all DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and operating instructions on the machine and in this manual. [1]

Ensure that the machine is to be used in a manner which is within the scope of its intended application as determined by JLG. [1]

Read, understand, and obey all applicable employer, local, and governmental regulations as they pertain to your utilization and application of the machine. [1]

Workplace Inspection


Precautions to avoid all hazards in the work area must be taken by the user before and during operation of the machine. [1]

Before operation, check work area for overhead hazards such as electric lines, bridge cranes, and other potential overhead obstructions. [1]

Check operating surfaces for holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, concealed holes, and other potential hazards. [1]

Check the work area for hazardous locations. Do not operate the machine in hazardous environments unless approved for that purpose by JLG. [1]

Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to support the maximum tire load indicated on the tire load decals located on the chassis adjacent to each wheel. Do not travel on unsupported surfaces. [1]

Do not operate or raise the platform from a position on trucks, trailers, railway cars, floating vessels, scaffolds or other equipment unless the application is approved in writing by JLG. [1]
