nents that are approved by JLG. To be
considered approved, replacement parts
or components must be identical or equivalent to original parts or

cal device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest in an unstable posi-
tion. Ensure adequate suppor t is provided when raising
components of the machine.

Do not replace items critical to stability, such as batteries or tires,
with items of different weight or specification. Do not modify the
MEWP in any way to affect stability.

Reference the Service and Maintenance Manual for the weights of
critical stability items.
MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION OF A MEWP SHALL BE MADE ONLY WITH PRIOR WRIT-
