To avoid burning, wear protective gloves when
handling hot components. To protect your eyes, wear
goggles when using a wire brush to clean
components.

Arc Welding
To prevent the possibility of damage to electronic
components, disconnect the battery and the alternator
before arc-welding on the machine or attached
implements.
If the machine is equipped with sensitive electrical
equipment, i.e. amplifier drivers, electronic control
units (E.C.U.s), monitor displays, etc., then disconnect
them before welding. Failure to disconnect the
sensitive electrical equipment could result in
irreparable damage to these components.
Parts of the machine are made from cast iron; welds
on cast iron can weaken the structure and break. Do
not weld cast iron. Do not connect the welder cable or
apply any weld to any part of the engine.
Always connect the welder earth (ground) cable to the
same component that is being welded, i.e. boom or
dipper, to avoid damage to pivot pins, bearings and
bushes. Attach the welder earth (ground) cable no
more than 0.6 metres (2 feet) from the part being
welded.

Counterweights
Your machine may be fitted with counterweights. They
are extremely heavy. Do not attempt to remove them.

Turning the Engine
Do not try to turn the engine by pulling the fan or fan
belt. This could cause injury or premature component
failure.

Accumulators
The accumulators contain hydraulic fluid and gas at
high pressure. Prior to any work being carried out on
systems incorporating accumulators, the system
pressure must be exhausted by a JCB distributor, as
the sudden release of the hydraulic fluid or gas may
cause injury.

!MWARNING
An exploding tyre can kill. Inflated tyres can explode if
over-heated or over-inflated. Follow the instructions
given when inflating the tyres. Do not cut or weld the
rims. Use a tyre/wheel specialist for all repair work.

Jacking
A machine can roll off jacks and crush you unless the
wheels have been blccked. Always block the wheels at
the opposite end of the machine that is to be jacked.
Do not work underneath a machine supported only by
jacks. Always support a jacked-up machine on axle
stands before working underneath it.
INT-3-2-8
!MWARNING
Under no circumstances must the engine be run with
the transmission in gear and only one driving wheel
jacked clear of the ground, since the wheel on the
ground will move the machine.
INT-3-1-16
!MWARNING
Wheels and tyres are heavy. Take care when lifting or
moving them.
Store with care to ensure that they cannot fall and
cause injury.
