Always wear safety glasses when dismantling
assemblies containing components under pressure
from springs. This will protect against eye injury from
components accidentally flying out.
GEN-6-2
!MCAUTION
Rams
The efficiency of the rams will be affected if they are
not kept free of solidified dirt. Clean dirt from around
the rams regularly. When leaving or parking the
machine, close all rams if possible to reduce the risk
of weather corrosion.
INT-3-2-10
!MCAUTION
Cleaning
Cleaning metal parts with incorrect solvents can
cause corrosion. Use only recommended cleaning
agents and solvents.
INT-3-2-11
!MWARNING
When using cleaning agents, solvents or other
chemicals, you must adhere to the manufacturer's
instructions and safety precautions.
GEN-1-9
!MCAUTION
'O' rings, Seals and Gaskets
Badly fitted, damaged or rotted 'O' rings, seals and
gaskets can cause leakages and possible accidents.
Renew whenever disturbed unless otherwise
instructed. Do not use Triochloroethane or paint
thinners near 'O' rings and seals.

!MCAUTION
Waxoyl contains turpentine substitute which is
flammable. Keep flames away when applying Waxoyl.
Waxoyl can take a few weeks to dry completely. Keep
flames away during the drying period.
Do not weld near the affected area during the drying
period. Take the same precautions as for oil to keep
Waxoyl off your skin. Do not breathe the fumes. Apply
in a well-ventilated area.

!MWARNING
Certain seals and gaskets (e.g. crankshaft oil seal) on
JCB machines contain fluoroelastomeric materials
such as Viton, Fluorel and Technoflon.
Fluoroelastomeric materials subjected to high
temperatures can produce highly corrosive
hydrofluoric acid. THIS ACID CAN SEVERELY BURN.
New fluoroelastomeric components at ambient
temperature require no special safety precautions.
Used fluoroelastomeric components whose
temperatures have not exceeded 300°C (572°F) require
no special safety precautions. If evidence of
decomposition (e.g. charring) is found, refer to the
next paragraph for safety instructions DO NOT TOUCH
COMPONENT OR SURROUNDING AREA.
Used fluoroelastomeric components subjected to
temperatures greater than 300°C (572°F) (e.g. engine
fire) must be treated using the following safety
procedure. Make sure that heavy duty gloves and
special safety glasses are worn:
1 Thoroughly wash contaminated area with 10%
calcium hydroxide or other suitable alkali
solution, if necessary use wire wool to remove
burnt remains.
