Safe operation depends upon reliable equipment and proper operating
procedures. Performing the checks and services described in this manual
will help to keep your Gradall Excavator Carrier in reliable condition and

operator we recommend that this manual be read, understood and followed

the XL4100 & XL4200 Upperstructure Operation & Lubrication Manual, as
well as the EMI & Gradall Hydraulic Excavator Safety Manuals and all
instructional decals and plates affixed to the machine, will help avoid
personal injury and damage to the equipment. The information provided is
not intended to cover all situations; it would be impossible to anticipate and
evaluate all possible applications and methods of operation for this unit.
Any procedure not specifically recommended by The Gradall Company
must be thoroughly evaluated from the standpoint of safety before it is
placed in practice. If you aren’t sure, contact your Gradall Excavator
Distributor before operating.
