Description
General
The JCB Tracked Excavator is a self propelled machine with a tracked undercarriage and a revolving upper
structure which has a boom, dipper, bucket and swing mechanism.
The excavator is mainly used to dig below ground level with bucket motions towards the machine. The upper
structure can slew 360° and discharge material when the tracked undercarriage is stationary.
Waste Applications
The machine is mainly used to lift materials or scrap with an attachment. The upper structure can slew 360°
and discharge the materials or scrap when the tracked undercarriage is stationary.
Intended Use
The machine is intended to be used in normal conditions for the applications and in the environmental conditions
as described in this manual.
When used normally with a bucket fitted to the machine the work cycle consists of, digging, elevating, slewing
and the discharging of material without movement of the undercarriage.
Applications include earthmoving, road construction, building and construction, landscaping and similar
applications.
An excavator can also be used for object handling if it is suitably equipped with relevant parts and systems.
Refer to: Lifting and Loading (Page 97).
The machine must not be used in the following scenarios because of the risk of overturning; used for forestry,
used with attachments of unknown weight, used on surfaces of unknown stability. This list is not exhaustive.
If the machine is to be used in applications where there is a high silica concentration, risk due to materials
containing asbestos or similar hazards, additional protective measures such as the use of PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) may be required.
The machine should not be operated by any person who does not have an appropriate level of qualification,
training or experience of use of this type of machine.
Prior to use of the machine, its suitability (size, performance, specification etc.) should be considered with
regards to the intended application and any relevant hazards that may exist. Contact your JCB dealer for
support in determining the appropriate JCB machine, attachment and any optional equipment that is suitable
for the application and environment.
Waste Applications
The boom/arm should not be operated so as to punch the waste in order to compact it. To compact waste
the boom/arm can be used to exert pressure on the material, lowering the attachment onto the waste and
continuing to lower the boom so as to exert the weight of the machine on the material being compacted, but
without causing the machine to be lifted clear of the ground. Excessively raising the machine above ground,
punching the waste, lifting with the dozer during compacting and any other actions that impart significant shock
loads into the machine structure are outside of the intended use of the machine and can have a damaging
effect on the machine structure and hydraulic system.
The dozer blade must be raised clear off the ground where applicable during the correct compaction procedures
as outlined above.
Log Moving/Object Handling
Do not use the machine to move or handle logs unless sufficient log protection is installed. You could cause
serious injury to yourself and damage to the machine. For more information, contact your JCB dealer.
