INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK
Machine Model and Serial Number
This handbook provides information for the following
models in the JCB machine range.
520-50 Machines from Serial No. 754000
525-50 Machines from Serial No. 789308
525-50S Machines from Serial No. TBA
Using the 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
unsure 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
Units of Measurement
In this handbook, the S.I. system of units is used. For
example, liquid capacities are given in litres. The Imperial
units follow in parenthesis ( ) eg 28 litres (6 gal).
Page Numbering
The page numbering system in this handbook is not
continuous. There is a gap of about ten pages between
sections. This allows for the insertion of new pages in later
issues of the handbook.
Left Side, Right Side
In this handbook, 'left' A and 'right' B mean your left and
right when you are seated correctly in the machine.
Using the Machine
To use the machine efficiently and safely you must know
the machine and have the skill to use it. This handbook
instructs you on the machine, its controls and its safe
operation. It is not a training manual on the art of loading.
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.
Page Cross References
In this handbook, page cross references are made by
presenting the subject title printed in bold and italic to
signify a cross reference. (This is followed by the title of
the section containing the subject). For example:
Make sure the tyres are correctly inflated, see Tyre
Pressures (SPECIFICATION section) for the correct tyre
pressures and Inflating the Tyres (MAINTENANCE
section) for a safe procedure for inflating the tyres.
