Introduction
About This Manual
Name and Address of the Manufacturer
JCB Vibromax GmbH Graf-Zeppelin STR 16 51147
Cologne Germany
Product Compliance
T1-055
Your JCB machine 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 machine at a level of compliance relevant to
the machine when first produced. Even in the absence of
defined requirements for the machine owner, JCB
recommend that the machine compliance be maintained to
ensure safety of the operator and exposed persons and to
ensure the correct environmental performance. Your
machine 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 machine, 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
machine was first sold to the extent that the laws and
regulations required them.
Re-sales and import/export of machines across territories
with different laws and regulations can cause new
requirements to become relevant for which the machine
was not originally designed or specified. In some cases,
pre-owned machines 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 machine 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
machine 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 machine which has been moved out
of the legislative country/region where it was first sold, and
in particular where a machine specification change or
additional certification would have been required in order
for the machine to be in compliance
