Health and Safety
Attachments
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.
Attachments
If you have an attachment which is not covered in the
Operator's 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.
WARNING! Load and unload on firm, level ground.
Always be alert for possible hazards. Take special
care when turning or reversing.
DANGER! Before lowering the attachments to the
ground, make sure that the machine and the area
around it are clear of other people. Anyone on or
close to the machine could fall and be crushed by the
attachments, or get caught in the linkages.
DANGER! Using the forks alone as a working
platform is hazardous; you can fall off and be killed
or injured. Never use the forks as a working platform.
Check (Condition)
Fit for Purpose Tests for Lifting
Equipment
All lifting equipment (for example forks, lifting hooks
and shackles) requires inspection and testing by a
competent person to ensure that it is fit for purpose.
This may be needed every six months, or at least
annually, in some territories to comply with legislation
and conditions of insurance.
You must conform to the applicable regulations.
