Fuel
Fuel is flammable, keep naked flames away from the fuel system. Stop the engine immediately if a fuel leak is
suspected. Do not smoke while refuelling or working on the fuel system. Do not refuel with the engine running.
Completely wipe off any spilt fuel which could cause a fire. There could be a fire and injury if you do not follow
these precautions.
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 oil must be in accordance with any local regulations. Never pour used
engine oil into sewers, drains or on the ground.
Handling
CAUTION The temperature of the hydraulic oil will be high soon after stopping the machine. Wait until it
cools before beginning maintenance.
New Oil
There are no special precautions needed for the handling or use of new oil, beside the normal care and hygiene
practices.
Used Oil
Used engine crankcase lubricants contain harmful contaminants.
Here are precautions to protect your health when handling used engine oil:
• Avoid prolonged, excessive or repeated skin contact with used oil
• Apply a barrier cream to the skin before handling used oil. Note the following when removing engine oil
from skin:
• Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water
