Safety First

All mechanical equipment can be hazardous if operated
without care or correct maintenance.
In this manual you will find warning messages. Read them.
Understand them. They tell you of hazards and how to
avoid them. If you do not understand the messages, ask
your employer or local JCB Distributor.
But safety is not just a matter of responding to the warn-
ings. All the time you are working with the attachment you
must be thinking what hazards there might be and how to
avoid them.
Do not work with the attachment until you are sure that you
can control it.
Do not start any job until you are sure that you and those
around you will be safe.
If you are unsure of anything, about the machine or the job,
ask someone who knows. Don't assume anything - check
it out.
Remember
BE CAREFUL
BE ALERT
BE SAFE
