SECTION 6 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
6-2 – JLG Lift – 3120778
Platform Caught Overhead
If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead
structures or equipment, do not continue operation of the
machine from either the platform or the ground until the
operator and all personnel are safely moved to a secure
location. Only then should an attempt be made to free the
platform using any necessary equipment and personnel.
Do not remove outriggers or attempt to move machine
unless a crane, forklift or other suitable equipment is avail-
able to safely lower machine to ground.
Righting of Tipped Machine
Before righting a tipped machine, check machine for any
damage which may prevent it from setting properly on its
base wheels once in a vertical position, (i.e. base wheels
damaged, base frame distorted, etc.). Use a crane, forklift
or other suitable lifting equipment and carefully lift the
machine to an upright postion.
Post-Incident Inspection
Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine
and test all functions. Do not lift platform above 10 feet (3
meters) until you are sure that all damage has been
repaired and that all controls and machine components
are operating correctly.
