Machine Description
The JCB Tracked Excavator
The JCB Tracked Excavator is a self propelled machine
comprising a tracked undercarriage and a revolving upper
structure which incorporates a boom, dipper, bucket and
swing mechanism. It is mainly used for digging below
ground level with bucket motions towards the machine.
The upper structure can swing 360 degrees and discharge
material while the tracked undercarriage remains
stationary.
Intended Use
The machine is intended to be used under normal
conditions for the applications described in this manual. If
the machine is used for other purposes or in dangerous
environments, for example in a flammable atmosphere or
in areas with dust containing asbestos, special safety
regulations must be followed and the machine must be
equipped for use in these environments.
The machine is primarily designed for excavating with a
bucket, without movement of the undercarriage during the
work cycle. An excavator work cycle normally comprises
excavating, elevating, swinging and discharging of
material. An excavator can also be used for object or
material handling/transportation provided it meets the
lifting regulations.

Safety - Yours and Others
INT-1-3-1_3
All machinery can be hazardous. When a machine is
correctly operated and properly maintained, it is a safe
machine to work with. But 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 tell you of
potential hazards and how to avoid them. If you do not fully
understand the warning messages, ask your employer or
JCB distributor to explain them.
But 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 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 job until you are sure that you and those
around you will be safe.
If you are unsure of anything, about the machine or the job,
ask someone who knows. Do not assume anything.
Remember
BE CAREFUL
BE ALERT
BE SAFE
General Safety
T1-043
!MWARNING
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 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.
INT-1-4-1
!MWARNING
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.
INT-1-3-5
!MWARNING
Clothing
You can be injured if you do not wear the proper
clothing. Loose clothing can get caught in the
machinery. Wear protective clothing to suit the job.
Examples of protective clothing are: a hard hat, safety
shoes, safety glasses, a well fitting overall, ear-
protectors and industrial gloves. Keep cuffs fastened.
Do not wear a necktie or scarf. Keep long hair
restrained. Remove rings, watches and personal
jewellery.
INT-1-3-6_2
!MWARNING
Alcohol and Drugs
It is extremely dangerous to operate machinery when
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Do not
consume alcoholic drinks or take drugs before or
while operating the machine or attachments. Be aware
of medicines which can cause drowsiness.

!MWARNING
Mobile Phones
Switch off your mobile phone before entering an area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such an area could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
Switch off and do not use your mobile phone when
refuelling the machine.
INT-3-3-9
!MWARNING
Lifting Equipment
You can be injured if you use incorrect or faulty lifting
equipment. You must identify the weight of the item to
be lifted then choose lifting equipment that is strong
enough and suitable for the job. Make sure that lifting
equipment is in good condition and complies with all
local regulations.
INT-1-3-7_2
!MWARNING
Raised Equipment
Never walk or work under raised equipment unless it
is supported by a mechanical device. Equipment
which is supported only by a hydraulic device can
drop and injure you if the hydraulic system fails or if
the control is operated (even with the engine stopped).
Make sure that no-one goes near the machine while
you install or remove the mechanical device.
13-2-3-7_3
!MWARNING
Raised Machine
NEVER position yourself or any part of your body
under a raised machine which is not properly
supported. If the machine moves unexpectedly you
could become trapped and suffer serious injury or be
killed.

ground gives way under your machine or if piled
material collapses onto it. Check for potholes and
hidden debris, logs, ironwork etc. Any of these could
cause you to lose control of your machine. Check for
utilities such as electric cables (overhead and
underground), gas and water pipes etc. Mark the
positions of the underground cables and pipes. Make
sure that you have enough clearance beneath
overhead cables and structures.

Practise
You or others can be killed or seriously injured if you
do unfamiliar operations without first practising them.
Practise away from the work site on a clear area. Keep
other people away. Do not perform new operations
until you are sure you can do them safely.
INT-2-1-1
!MWARNING
Airborne particles of light combustible material such
as straw, grass, wood shavings, etc. must not be
allowed to accumulate within the engine compartment
or in the propshaft guards (when fitted). Inspect these
areas frequently and clean at the beginning of each
work shift or more often if required. Before opening
the engine cover, ensure that the top is clear of debris.

Electrical Power Cables
You could be electrocuted or badly burned if you get
the machine or its attachments too close to electrical
power cables.
You are strongly advised to make sure that the safety
arrangements on site comply with the local laws and
regulations concerning work near electric power lines.
Before you start using the machine, check with your
electricity supplier if there are any buried power
cables on the site.
There is a minimum clearance required for working
beneath overhead power cables. You must obtain
details from your local electricity supplier.

!MCAUTION
If you have an attachment which is not covered in the
Operator 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.

!MWARNING
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.
