Preparing the Machine for Travel
Introduction
When you travel on the road or on site there are usually
local rules and safety regulations for the machine travel
position. The Preparing for Road Travel and Preparing
for Site Travel described on the following pages are
recommendations that should help you meet the
requirements of these regulations; they are not necessarily
the applied law.
Please make sure that before you travel on the road or on
site, you and your machine comply with all the relevant
local laws - it is your responsibility.
Preparing for Road Travel
Important: Make sure that you will be obeying all pertinent
laws and regulations before you take the machine on
public roads.
Important: Machines without headlights and sidelights are
designed for site use, you may be breaking local laws if
you travel on the road without headlights or sidelights.
!MWARNING
Do not drive on the road with the work lights switched
on. You can interfere with other drivers visibility and
cause an accident.

1 In the UK, before travelling on public roads, it is your
responsibility as a user to comply with the Road
Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment)
Regulations 1997 (`Bridge Bashing Regulations').
Always assess your route for overhead structures for
example bridges which could be damaged by your
machine.
Important: While this information is believed to be correct,
JCB cannot be aware of all circumstances in which the
JCB machine may be operated on a Public Highway and it
is the responsibility of the user to ensure compliance with
the regulations.
2 Check that all road lights are working correctly.
3 The traffic regulations may require you to have a
beacon operating on some public roads. Refer to
Beacon.
4 Lower/raise the shovel to approximately 300mm
(12in.) above the ground.
5 Operate the controls to fully 'crowd' the shovel.
6 Make sure the tooth-guard A is attached to the
shovel.
Note: In some territories you may be breaking the law if
you do not attach a tooth-guard to the shovel. Make sure
that you obey the local laws.
Important: In some countries the law requires that a
safety marker plate B is attached before you travel on
public roads.
7 Start the ACCS (option).
