Park Brake
Check (Operation)
WARNING Before testing the park brake make sure the area around the machine is clear of people.
WARNING Do not use a machine with a faulty park brake.
When the park brakes are applied the LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the instrument panel will illuminate. The
engine can only be started when the drive lever is in park brake position.
Pushing the emergency stop switch will stop the engine causing the pressure in the braking system to fall and
the brakes to be applied.
1. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened.
2. Drive the machine to a suitable slope.
Refer to: General (Page 49).
3. Engage the park brake. Machine should not move.
If the machine moved during the test, drive the machine to a suitable flat location and contact your JCB dealer
to inspect the park brake. Do not use the machine until the fault is rectified.
