1.2 General Safety
Clothing
You can be injured if you do not wear the correct clothing. Loose clothing can get caught in
the machinery.
Keep cuffs fastened. Do not wear a necktie or scarf. Keep long hair restrained. Remove
rings, watches and personal jewelry.
Alcohol and Drugs
It is extremely dangerous to install or operate the engine when under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Do not consume alcoholic drinks or take drugs before or while operating the
engine. Be aware of medicines which can cause drowsiness.
Feeling Unwell
Do not install or operate the engine if you are feeling unwell. By doing so you could be a
danger to yourself and those you work with.
Mobile Phones
Switch off your mobile phone before entering an area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Sparks in such an area could cause an explosion or fire resulting in death or
serious injury.
Lifting Equipment
You can be injured if you use incorrect or faulty lifting equipment. You must identify the
weight of the item to be lifted then choose lifting equipment that is strong enough and
suitable for the job. Make sure that lifting equipment is in good condition and complies with
all local regulations.
Raised Equipment
Never walk under or work under raised equipment unless it is supported by a mechanical
device. Equipment which is supported only by a hydraulic device can drop and injure you if
the hydraulic system fails or if the control is operated (even with the engine stopped).
Make sure that no-one goes near the engine while you install or remove the mechanical
device.
Raised Engine
Never position yourself or any part of your body under a raised engine which is not correctly
supported. If the engine moves unexpectedly you could become trapped and suffer serious
injury or be killed.
Engine Modifications
This engine is manufactured in compliance with legislative and other requirements. It must
not be altered in any way which could affect or invalidate any of these requirements. For
advice consult your JCB dealer.
Clothing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can get caught on controls or moving parts.
Wear protective clothing and personal safety equipment issued or called for by the job
conditions, local regulations or as specified by your employer.
