Introduction
This chapter is arranged to guide you step-by-step through
the task of learning how to operate the machine. Read it
through from beginning to end. By the end of the chapter
you should have a good understanding of the machine and
how to operate it.
Pay particular attention to all safety messages. They are to
warn you of possible danger. Do not just read them; think
about what they mean. Understand the dangers and how to
avoid them. If there is anything you do not understand, ask
your JCB distributor. He will be pleased to advise you.
When you have learned where the track driving controls are
and what they do, practice using them. Practice driving the
machine in a safe, open space clear of other people. Get to
know the ‘feel’ of the machine and its track controls.
Move on to the boom and dipper controls only when you
can drive the machine confidently and safely. When you
have learned where the boom and dipper controls are and
what they do, practice using them but take great care at the
same time. Practice in an open space clear of other people.
Do not jerk the controls; operate them slowly until you
understand the effect they have on the machine.
Finally, do not rush the job of learning. Take your time and
take it safely.
Remember
BE CAREFUL
