Practice
You or others can be killed or seriously injured if you
do unfamiliar operations without first practising them.
Practise away from the work site on a clear area. Keep
other people away. Do not perform new operations
until you are sure you can do them safely.

reverse in a high gear with full throttle. Always drive at
a safe speed to suit working conditions.

!MWARNING
Airborne particles of light combustible material such
as straw, grass, wood shavings, etc. must not be
allowed to accumulate within the engine compartment
or in the propshaft guards (when fitted). Inspect these
areas frequently and clean at the beginning of each
work shift or more often if required. Before opening
the engine cover, ensure that the top is clear of debris.

Electrical Power Cables
You could be electrocuted or badly burned if you get
the machine or its attachments too close to electrical
power cables.
You are strongly advised to make sure that the safety
arrangements on site comply with the local laws and
regulations concerning work near electric power lines.
Before you start using the machine, check with your
electricity supplier if there are any buried power
cables on the site.
There is a minimum clearance required for working
beneath overhead power cables. You must obtain
details from your local electricity supplier.

!MCAUTION
If you have an attachment which is not covered in the
Operator Manual do not install it, use it or remove it
until you have obtained, read and understood the
pertinent information. Install attachments only on the
machines for which they were designed.

!MWARNING
Use only the JCB approved attachments that are
specified for your machine. Operating with non-
specified attachments can overload the machine,
causing possible damage and machine instability
which could result in injury to yourself or others.
The use of non-approved attachments could invalidate
your warranty.
