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-
tor’s and Safety Manual for completion procedures for the
Pre-Start Inspection. The Operator and Safety Manual
must be read in its entirety and understood prior to per-
forming the Pre-Start Inspection.

mechanic as a person who, by possession of a recog-
nized degree, certificate, extensive knowledge, training, or

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
