INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK
Machine Description
JS130W JS160W and JS200W are self-propelled wheeled
excavators with an upper structure capable of 360°
rotation. They excavate, elevate, swing and discharge
material by the action of a bucket fitted to the boom and
dipper, without moving the chassis during any part of the
working cycle of the machine.
Machine and Serial Numbers
This handbook covers the following machines:
JS130W from machine serial number 716500
JS145W from machine serial number 810000
JS160W from machine serial number 718500
JS175W from machine serial number 875000
JS200W from machine serial number 809000
The machines are available with either a monoboom or a
triple articulating boom.
Using this Handbook
The illustrations in this handbook are for guidance only.
Where the machines differ, the text and/or the illustration
will specify.
This handbook is arranged to give you a good
understanding of the machine and its safe operation. It
also contains maintenance information and specification
data. Read this handbook from front to back before using
the machine for the first time. Particular attention must be
given to all the safety aspects of operating and maintaining
the machine.
General warnings in this chapter are repeated throughout
the book, as well as specific warnings. Read all the safety
statements regularly, so you do not forget them.
Remember that the best operators are the safest
operators.
Finally, treat this handbook as part of the machine. Keep it
clean and in good condition. Do not operate the machine
without a handbook in the cab. If there is anything you are
not sure about, ask your JCB distributor or employer. Do
not guess, you or others could be killed or seriously
injured.
The manufacturer's policy is one of continuous
improvement. The right to change the specification of the
machine without notice is reserved. No responsibility will
be accepted for discrepancies which may occur between
specifications of the machine and the descriptions
contained in this publication.
INT-1-2-5/1

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
INT-1-3-1/1
! WARNING
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
! WARNING
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.
INT-1-3-6
! WARNING
Lifting Equipment
You can be injured if you use faulty lifting equipment.
Make sure that lifting equipment is in good condition.
Make sure that lifting tackle complies with all local
regulations and is suitable for the job. Make sure that
lifting equipment is strong enough for the job.
INT-1-3-7
All construction equipment can be hazardous. When a
Wheeled Excavator 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 handbook 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
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.
General Safety
! WARNING
Handbook
You and others can be injured if you operate or maintain
the machine without first studying this handbook. Read
the safety instructions before operating the machine. If
you do not understand anything, ask your employer or
JCB distributor to explain it. Keep this handbook clean
and in good condition. Do not operate the machine
without a handbook in the cab, or if there is anything on
the machine you do not understand.
INT-1-3-2
! CAUTION
Regulations
Obey all laws, work site and local regulations which affect
you and your machine.
INT-1-3-3
! WARNING
Decals
You can be injured if you do not obey the decal safety
instructions. Keep decals clean. Replace unreadable or
missing decals with new ones before operating the
machine. Make sure replacement parts include warning
decals where necessary.
INT-1-3-4
! WARNING
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). Please 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.
