Starting the Engine
General
Notice: Do not use ether or other starting fluids to assist cold starting. Using these fluids may result in an
explosion causing possible injury and/or damage to the engine.
The engine noise and or tone may be louder than usual when cold. The engine will become quieter when the
engine reaches normal operating temperature.
New engines do not require a running-in period. The engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle
immediately, glazing of the piston cylinder bores resulting in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the
engine is gently run-in. Under no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods.
If any warning lights fail to go off or come on while the engine is running, stop the engine as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Safety Features
The machine is fitted with an operator seat occupancy switch and lever position switch designed to prevent
inadvertent activations of the controls. If either of the features malfunction stop using the machine immediately
and contact your JCB dealer. This safety feature must be checked everytime before operating the machine.
Operator Seat Occupancy Switch
This feature prevents the machine from starting if it detects that the operator is not seated and drive lever is not
in the park brake position. This feature will also stop the engine from running and bring the machine to a safe
standstill after 2 s when it detects that the operator seat is vacant and drive lever is not in park brake position.
With the ignition on the seat switch LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the instrument panel must illuminate when
the seat is vacant and extinguish when it is occupied. Refer to: Instruments (Page 46).
Drive Lever Position Switch
This feature prevents the machine from starting if it detects that the drive lever is not in the park brake position
(furthest position away from the operator). Refer to: Transmission Drive Lever (Page 44).
With the ignition on the park brake light on the display illuminates when the lever is in park brake position and
extinguishes when it is moved to the neutral position. Refer to: Instruments (Page 46).
