General
This section provides the necessary information needed
by those personnel that are responsible to place the
machine in operation readiness and maintain its safe
operating condition. For maximum service life and safe
operation, ensure that all the necessary inspections and
maintenance have been completed before placing the
machine into service.
Preparation, Inspection, and Maintenance
It is important to establish and conform to a comprehen-
sive inspection and preventive maintenance program. The
following table outlines the periodic machine inspections
and maintenance recommended by JLG Industries, Inc.
Consult your national, regional, or local regulations for fur-
ther requirements for aerial work platforms. The frequency
of inspections and maintenance must be increased as
environment, severity and frequency of usage requires.
Pre-Start Inspection
It is the User’s or Operator’s primary responsibility to per-
form a Pre-Start Inspection of the machine prior to use
daily or at each change of operator. Reference the Opera-
tion and Safety Manual for completion procedures for the
Pre-Start Inspection. The Operation and Safety Manual
must be read in its entirety and understood prior to per-
forming the Pre-Start Inspection.
Pre-Delivery Inspection and Frequent
Inspection
The Pre-Delivery Inspection and Frequent Inspection shall
be performed by a qualified JLG equipment mechanic.
JLG Industries, Inc. recognizes a qualified JLG equipment
mechanic as a person who, by possession of a recog-
nized degree, certificate, extensive knowledge, training, or
experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability and
proficiency to service, repair, and maintain the subject
JLG product model.
The Pre-Delivery Inspection and Frequent Inspection pro-
cedures are performed in the same manner, but at differ-
ent times. The Pre-Delivery Inspection shall be performed
prior to each sale, lease, or rental delivery. The Frequent
Inspection shall be accomplished for each machine in ser-
vice for 3 months or 150 hours (whichever comes first);
out of service for a period of more than 3 months; or when
purchased used. The frequency of this inspection must be
increased as environment, severity and frequency of
usage requires.
