Moving a Disabled Machine
Introduction
P4-2025
The machine can be lifted onto a trailer for transportation.
However, you must contact the nearest JCB Dealer before
you try to tow, winch or push the machine. Towing,
winching or pushing the machine without following the
correct procedure can damage the transmission. If
possible, repair the disabled machine where it stands.
It is not recommended to tow a disabled machine. If the
machine becomes disabled, the machine must be made
safe, lifted onto a transporter and moved to a location
where maintenance can be carried out. If towing the
machine to a safe location is unavoidable, do the
procedure that follows before you try to move the machine.
Lower the Loader Arms in an Emergency
P4-2026
!MDANGER
Before lowering the attachments to the ground, make
sure that the machine and the area around it are clear
of other people. Anyone on or close to the machine
could fall and be crushed by the attachments, or get
caught in the linkages.
2-2-3-4
The machine has an accumulator which stores a small
quantity of hydraulic pressure to be used in an emergency
(for example engine failure). This hydraulic pressure must
be used to lower the loader arms to a safe position.
Do not try to operate the other machine functions as this
will decrease the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator
and it may then not be possible to lower the loader arms.
Operate all the functions on the loader controls lever to
release the remaining pressure.
Preparation for Towing
!MCAUTION
Towing a machine too far or too fast can damage the
transmission. Do not tow the machine further than 10
Km (6 miles). Use a trailer for greater distances. When
towing do not travel faster than 16 km/h (10 mph).
Use a rigid towbar. If you must use towing chains, then
use two vehicles, One towing vehicle should be
coupled to the front of the disabled machine. The other
towing vehicle should be couple to the rear of the
disabled machine, to provide braking power.
The towing vehicle(s) must have enough pulling and
braking power to move and stop the machine.

1 Disengage the park brake.
2 Set the transmission to neutral.
3 Prepare the loader arm:
a If the engine and hydraulic systems are not
damaged, lift the shovel to 900mm (3ft) above the
ground, then fully 'crowd' the shovel. The machine
in this position can have a straight-pull from the
recovery point.
b If the engine does not work, use the applicable
equipment to lift the shovel to 900mm (3ft) above
the ground and crowd the shovel. Secure the
shovel in position.
Note: The procedure for preparing the loader arm will
depend on the condition of the machine and its hydraulic
circuits. For this reason you should contact your JCB
Dealer for help and advice before you do this task.
4 Attach the drawbar (or chain) to the front chassis side
plate hole (left or right).
5 Attach the chain to the recovery hitch (if chains are
used).
Front recovery hitch A.
Rear recovery hitch B. (The rear chassis lift points)
