WARNING
A raised and badly supported machine can fall on you.
Position the machine on a firm, level surface before raising
one end. Ensure the other end is securely chocked. Do not
rely solely on the machine hydraulics or jacks to support the
machine when working under it.
Disconnect the battery, to prevent the engine being started
while you are beneath the machine.

WARNING
Fluoroelastomeric Materials
Certain seals and gaskets (e.g. crankshaft oil seal) on JCB
machines contain fluoroelastomeric materials such as Viton,
Fluorel and Technoflon. Fluoroelastomeric materials
subjected to high temperatures can produce highly corrosive
hydrofluoric acid. THIS ACID CAN SEVERELY BURN.
New fluoroelastomeric components at ambient temperature
require no special safety precautions.
Used fluoroelastomeric components whose temperatures
have not exceeded 300°C require no special safety
precautions. If evidence of decomposition (e.g. charring) is
found, refer to the next paragraph for safety instructions. DO
NOT TOUCH COMPONENT OR SURROUNDING AREA.
Used fluoroelastomeric components subjected to
temperatures greater than 300°C (e.g. engine fire) must be
treated using the following safety procedure. Make sure that
heavy duty gloves and special safety glasses are worn:
1
Ensure that components have cooled then remove and
place material into plastic bags.
2
Thoroughly wash contaminated area with 10% calcium
hydroxide or other suitable alkali solution, if necessary
use wire wool to remove burnt remains.
3
Thoroughly wash contaminated area with detergent and
water.
4
Contain all removed material, gloves etc. used in this
operation in sealed plastic bags and dispose of in
accordance with Local Authority Regulations.
DO NOT BURN FLUOROELASTOMERIC MATERIALS.
If contamination of skin or eyes occurs, wash affected area
with a continuous supply of clean water or with calcium
hydroxide solution for 15-60 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.
