28 cm³/rev 1.4 cm³/rev (1.7 in³/rev) (0.36 in.³/rev) NOTE: Aside from JLG recommendations, it is not advisable to mix oils of different brands or types, as they may not contain the same required additives or be of comparable viscosi- ties.
SECTION 1 - SPECIFICATIONS 1.11 SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONS For machine identification, a serial number plate is affixed to the machine. The plate is located on the rear center of the machine frame, just below the middle step of the ladder. In addition, if the serial number plate is damaged or missing, the machine serial number is stamped on the right front frame rail, adjacent to the sizzor arms.
Components Removal and Installation components and systems. With proper care, maintenance and inspections performed per JLG's recommendations with any and all discrepancies corrected, this product will be fit for con- 1. Use adjustable lifting devices, whenever possible, if tinued use.
