Machine Identification Plate
Your machine has an identification plate mounted in one of two positions as shown. The serial numbers of the
machine and its major units are shown on the plate.
The machine model and build specification is indicated by the PIN (Product Identification Number)
The serial number of each major unit is also shown on the unit itself. If a major unit is replaced by a new one,
the serial number on the identification plate will be wrong. Either get a replacement identification plate from
your JCB Dealer or simply remove the old number. This will prevent the wrong unit number being quoted when
replacement parts are ordered. The machine and engine serial numbers can help identify exactly the type of
equipment you have.
