About the Product
Introduction
General
Before you start using the machine, you must know how the machine operates. Use this part of the manual
to identify each control lever, switch, gauge, button and pedal. Do not guess, if there is anything you do not
understand, ask your JCB dealer.
Name and Address of the Manufacturer
JCB Landpower Limited, Lakeside Works, Rocester, Staffordshire, United Kingdom, ST14 5JP.
Product Compliance
Your JCB product was designed to comply with the laws and regulations applicable at the time of its manufacture
for the market in which it was first sold. In many markets, laws and regulations exist that require the owner to
maintain the product at a level of compliance relevant to the product when first produced. Even in the absence
of defined requirements for the product owner, JCB recommend that the product compliance be maintained
to ensure safety of the operator and exposed persons and to ensure the correct environmental performance.
Your product must not be altered in any way which could affect or invalidate any of these requirements. For
advice consult your JCB dealer.
For its compliance as a new product, your JCB and some of its components may bear approval numbers
and marking's, and may have been supplied with a Declaration/Certificate of Conformity. These marking's and
documents are relevant only for the country/region in which the product was first sold to the extent that the
laws and regulations required them.
Re-sales and import/export of products across territories with different laws and regulations can cause new
requirements to become relevant for which the product was not originally designed or specified. In some cases,
pre owned products irrespective of their age are considered new for the purposes of compliance and may be
required to meet the latest requirements which could present an insurmountable barrier to their sale/use.
Despite the presence of any compliance related marking's on the product and components, you should not
assume that compliance in a new market will be possible. In many cases it is the person responsible for import
of a pre owned product into a market that becomes responsible for compliance and who is also considered
the manufacturer.
JCB may be unable to support any product compliance related enquiry for a product which has been moved out
of the legislative country/region where it was first sold, and in particular where a product specification change
or additional certification would have been required in order for the product to be in compliance.
