Operation
Working with the Excavator End
2. The mass of the attachment should be deducted from the lift capacity figure.
Refer to: Excavator End Dimensions and Performance (Page 151).
3. The correct JCB lifting shackle must be fitted. The bucket ram must be fully extended. If your machine is not
installed with this equipment there will be a decal in the operators cab and you must use the machine for
earth moving purposes only. The lifting shackle must be removed when excavating to prevent the possibility
of damage.

4. Attach lifting slings to the shackle. Keep the sling length as short as possible, to prevent swinging. Always
use lifting tackle which is strong enough and in good condition. Check the load weight before choosing
the lifting slings.
5. Attach a handline to the load. Make sure the person holding the handline stands clear of the load and
machine.
6. Test the load by lifting it then slowly manoeuvring it across the ground with the excavator controls. Lower
the load to the ground if you feel any instability of the load or the machine. When you are using the dipper
movement to lift, always lift by moving the dipper away from you, as shown, not towards you. This is because
hose burst protection valves (if installed) are provided only on the 'dipper-in' side.
Distance: 25–50mm
