All machinery can be hazardous. When a machine is correctly operated and maintained, it is a safe machine
to work with. When it is carelessly operated or poorly maintained it can become a danger to you (the operator)
and others.
In this manual and on the machine you will find warning messages, read and understand them. They inform
you of potential hazards and how to avoid them. If you do not fully understand the warning messages, ask your
employer or JCB dealer to explain them.
Safety is not just a matter of responding to the warnings. All the time you are working on or with the machine
you must be thinking of what hazards there might be and how to avoid them.
Do not work with the machine until you are sure that you can control it.
Do not start any work until you are sure that you and those around you will be safe.
If you are not sure of anything, about the machine or the work, ask someone who knows. Do not assume
anything.
Remember:
•Be careful
•Be alert
•Be safe.

Introduction
Safety
General Safety
Training
To operate the machine safely you must know the machine and have the skill to use it. You must abide by
all relevant laws, health and safety regulations that apply to the country you are operating in. The operator's
manual instructs you on the machine, its controls and its safe operation; it is not a training manual. If you are a
new operator, get yourself trained in the skills of using a machine before trying to work with it. If you don't, you
will not do your job well, and you will be a danger to yourself and others. In some markets and for work on certain
jobsites you may be required to have been trained and assessed in accordance with an operator competence
scheme. Make sure that you and your machine comply with relevant local laws and jobsite requirements - it
is your responsibility.
Care and Alertness
All the time you are working with or on the machine, take care and stay alert. Always be careful. Always be
alert for hazards.

About the Product
Introduction
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.
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.

The following considerations are intended as suggestions of some of the factors to be taken into account when
a risk assessment is made. Other factors may need to be considered.
A good risk assessment depends on the training and experience of the operator. Do not put your life or the
lives of others at risk.
Personnel
•Are all persons who will take part in the operation sufficiently trained, experienced and competent? Are
they fit and sufficiently rested? A sick or tired operator is a dangerous operator.
•Is supervision needed? Is the supervisor sufficiently trained and experienced?
179831/3200-317
Operation
Operating Safety
•As well as the machine operator, are any assistants or lookouts needed?
The Machine
•Is it in good working order?
•Have any reported defects been corrected?
•Have the daily checks been carried out?
•Are the tyres in good condition?
•Is the battery sufficiently charged to complete the job?
Working Area
•Is it level?
•Is the ground solid? Will it support the weight of the machine when loaded?
•How rough is the ground? Are there any sharp projections which could cause damage, particularly to
the tyres?
•Are there any obstacles or hazards in the area, for example, debris, excavations, manhole covers, power
lines?
•Is the space sufficient for safe manoeuvring?
•Are any other machines or persons likely to be in or to enter the area while operations are in progress?
The Route to be Travelled
•How solid is the ground, will it provide sufficient traction and braking? Soft ground will affect the stability
of the machine and this must be taken into account.
•How steep are any slopes, up/down/across? A cross slope is particularly hazardous, is it possible to detour
to avoid them?
Weather
•How windy is it? High wind will adversely affect the stability of a loaded machine.
•Is it raining or is rain likely? The ground that was solid and smooth when dry will become uneven and
slippery when wet, and it will not give the same conditions for traction, steering or braking.

Hygiene
JCB lubricants are not a health risk when used correctly for their intended purposes.
However, excessive or prolonged skin contact can remove the natural fats from your skin, causing dryness
and irritation.
Low viscosity oils are more likely to do this, so take special care when handling used oils, which might be
diluted with fuel contamination.
Whenever you are handling oil products you must maintain good standards of care and personal and plant
hygiene. For details of these precautions we advise you to read the relevant publications issued by your local
health authority, plus the following.
Storage
Always keep lubricants out of the reach of children.
Never store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.
Waste Disposal
CAUTION It is illegal to pollute drains, sewers or the ground. Clean up all spilt fluids and/or lubricants.
Used fluids and/or lubricants, filters and contaminated materials must be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations. Use authorised waste disposal sites.
CAUTION Damaged or spent batteries and any residue from fires or spillage must be put in a closed acid
proof receptacle and must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental waste regulations.
All waste products must be disposed of in accordance with all the relevant regulations.
The collection and disposal of used hydraulic oil must be in accordance with any local regulations. Never pour
used hydraulic oil into sewers, drains or on the ground.
Handling
New Oil
There are no special precautions needed for the handling or use of new oil, beside the normal care and hygiene
practices.

Work on the Li-ion Battery should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
While working on the Li-ion Battery wear protective glasses and clothing.
Any uncovered battery material such as electrolyte or powder on the skin or in the eyes must be flushed with
plenty of clean water immediately. Then seek medical assistance. Spillages on clothing should be rinsed out
with water.
Terminals of the Li-ion Battery are always a live; therefore do not place items or tools on the Li-ion Battery.
Avoid short circuits, too deep discharges and too high charge currents. Do not wear any metallic items such
as watches, bracelets etc. In case of fire, you must use a type D, foam or CO2 fire extinguisher.
Never try to open or dismantle the Li-ion Battery. Electrolyte is very corrosive. In normal working conditions
contact with the electrolyte is impossible. If the battery casing is damaged do not touch the exposed electrolyte
or powder because it is corrosive.
Too deep discharges damage the Li-ion battery seriously and can even be dangerous. Therefore, JCB fit a
safety relay within the system. Do not tamper or modify the existing system. If charged after the Li-ion battery
was discharged below the Discharge cut-off voltage, or when the Li-ion battery is damaged or overcharged, the
Li-ion battery can release a harmful mixture of gasses such as phosphate. Make sure there is good ventilation
in closed areas where batteries are being used or charged.
It is recommended not to remove the LI-ion batteries from the machine. However if this is necessary, observe
the following safety warnings: Li-ion Batteries are heavy. If involved in an accident they can become a projectile.
Ensure adequate and secure mounting and always use suitable handling equipment for transportation. Handle
with care because Li-ion Batteries are sensitive to mechanical shock.
539831/3200-353
Maintenance
Maintenance Safety
Transportation
The Li-ion battery must be transported in its original or equivalent package and in an upright position. If the
battery is in its package, use soft slings to avoid damage. Do not stand below a Li-ion battery when it is hoisted.
Never lift the battery at the terminals, only lift the battery at the handles.
Batteries are tested according to UN Handbook of Tests and Criteria, part III, sub section 38.3 (ST/SG/AC.10/11/
Rev.5). For transport the batteries belong to the category UN3480, Class 9, Packaging Group II and have to be
transported according to this regulation. This means that for land and sea transport (ADR, RID & IMDG) they
have to be packed according to packaging instruction P903 and for air transport (IATA) according to packaging
instruction P965. The original packaging satisfies these instructions.
Disposal
Batteries marked with the recycling symbol must be processed via a recognized recycling agency. By
agreement, they may be returned to the manufacturer. Batteries must not be mixed with domestic or industrial
waste.

Maintenance Schedules
General
WARNING Maintenance must be done only by suitably qualified and competent persons.
Before doing any maintenance make sure the machine is safe, it must be correctly parked on solid, level
ground.
To prevent anyone starting the machine, remove the key. Disconnect the battery when you are not using
electrical power. If you do not take these precautions you could be killed or injured.
A badly maintained machine is a danger to the operator and the people working around the operator. Make
sure that the regular maintenance and lubrication tasks listed in the service schedules are done to keep the
machine in a safe and efficient working condition.
Apart from the daily tasks, the schedules are based on time. Keep a regular check on the hourmeter readings
to monitor the hourmeter equivalents. When there is no hourmeter installed, use the calendar equivalents to
determine the service intervals.
Do not use a machine which is due for a service. Make sure any defects found during the regular maintenance
checks are corrected immediately.
How to Use the Maintenance Schedules
The schedules show the service tasks which must be done and their intervals.
The services must be done at either the hourly interval or the calendar equivalent, whichever occurs first.
The intervals given in the schedules must not be exceeded. If the machine is operated under severe conditions
(high temperature, dust, water, etc.) shorten the intervals. Where local regulations require more frequent
checks, the local regulations intervals should be followed.

Ingress of dirt will cause fluid leaks and difficulty in connecting or disconnecting. You could be killed or
seriously injured by faulty quick release couplings.
The flat face quick release couplings allow the operator to remove and install attachments swiftly and efficiently.
Generally, your machine pipework will be installed with a female coupling and a male coupling. The optional
attachment hoses will also be installed with a female coupling and a male coupling.
Figure 45.

The quick release couplings will be trouble free and relatively easy to connect and disconnect, if they are kept
clean and used correctly. The recommendations listed below must always apply when using flat face quick
release couplings.
Read the correct connecting and releasing procedures before you install or remove any optional attachment
connected with quick release couplings.
Essential do's:
•Before connecting or removing any hydraulic hose, the residual hydraulic pressure trapped in the service
hose line must be vented. Make sure the hose service line has been vented before connecting or removing
the hoses.
•Always wipe the two mating faces clean before connecting.
•Use caps and plugs when the couplings are disconnected.
•Always align the external locking ball (if used) with the notch in the locking sleeve and then pull the locking
sleeve back fully to disconnect.
•If a coupling sticks, first check that pressure has been released. Make sure the locking ball and notch
in the locking sleeve are aligned, pull back the sleeve and twist the couplings apart. Sticking is normally
caused by dirt in the coupling or physical damage due to abuse.
•Connect and disconnect the new couplings two or three times to work the PTFE seals. Sometimes a new
coupling will stick if the seal has not been worked.
•When connecting the couplings, only apply the spanner or grips to the hexagon and nowhere else.
•Avoid damage to the coupling faces. Burrs and scratches cause damage to the seals and cause leaks.
They can also impede connection and disconnection of the couplings.
•Periodically lubricate the internal locking balls on the female half of the coupling with silicone grease.
Essential don'ts:
•Never try to reconnect using a damaged half coupling as this will destroy the seals in the mating half and
necessitate replacement of both halves.
•Do not leave the coupling where it may be run over by a machine or otherwise crushed, this will distort
the sleeve and prevent connection and disconnection.
•Never try to turn the sleeve when the coupling is disconnected as this will cause the locking ball to jam
under the locking sleeve and damage the coupling.
•Never try to strip the coupling down, there are no user serviceable parts. If the coupling is damaged it
must be replaced with a new one.
•Never hit the centre poppet of the coupling to try and release the locked in pressure. This can cause
irreparable damage to the coupling and serious injury.
•When connecting the couplings, never clamp on the sleeve of the female or nose of the male, this will
cause distortion and/or damage.
•Never subject the couplings to external forces, especially side load. This can decrease the life of the
coupling or cause failure.

•Never allow the torsional forces transmitted from the hoses to unscrew/screw together the couplings.
•Never use a coupling as a plug.
•Do not connect and disconnect with pressure in the line unless the coupling type is specifically designed
to do so.
Connecting Quick Release Couplings
1. Remove any residual hydraulic pressure trapped in the service line hose.
2. Wipe the two faces of the male and female couplings and make sure they are clean.
3. Make sure that ball in the female coupling is located in one of its slots.
4. Connect the male coupling into the female coupling.
5. Where applicable, rotate the sleeve half a turn and make sure that the locking ball does not align with
the slot.

WARNING Do not connect the charger when the batteries are not connected. Doing so could result in
danger of live terminals from the charger.
Do not carry out maintenance on a machine whilst the charger is connected to an external power supply
(i.e. do not work on a live machine). Cables from the charger to the batteries may remain live even if the
batteries are disconnected/removed from the machine. There is a risk of serious electrical shock.
779831/3200-377
Maintenance
Electrical System
Always disconnect all external power supplies to the machine before carrying out maintenance.
The battery should be checked when the motor is running, this will avoid mis-reading the charge level because
of battery voltage recovery due to lack of current draw.
An approximate charge level of the battery is shown on the platform controller and battery charger display.
When the level of batteries is about 20%, the battery must be charged. Never let the battery fully discharge
before charging.
When the battery voltage is low, select low speed mode and drive at low speed / half throttle to a charge location.
For machines with Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries; If the machine is driven on low battery level for too long,
the battery management system will cut off the electrical supply from the batteries, to protect the batteries from
too deep a discharge. Restarting the machine will have no effect. The machine will be non-operational until the
charger is connected to an external power supply.
