Danger
Failure to obey the instructions and safety rules in the appropriate Operator's Manual and Service Manual for your machine will result in death or serious injury. Many of the hazards identified in the operator’s manual are also safety hazards when maintenance and repair procedures are performed.
Do Not Perform Maintenance Unless:
- You are trained and qualified to perform maintenance on this machine.
- You read, understand and obey:
- manufacturer’s instructions and safety rules
- employer’s safety rules and worksite regulations applicable governmental regulations
-
You have the appropriate tools, lifting equipment and a suitable workshop.
Pressure Washing and Electronics
A rugged job site can make pressure washing your machines a necessity, but today’s lifts are equipped with sophisticated electronics that can be sensitive to pressure and water. Beyond avoiding washing electrical or electronic components, JLG Industries recommends the following in the event that you need to wash an area containing sensitive components:
- Use a maximum pressure of 750 psi (52 BAR)
- Maintain a minimum distance of 12 inches away from these components
- Avoid directly spraying components, and limit any secondary water exposure to brief periods to avoid saturation
