About the Product Introduction About the Product Introduction General Before you start using the machine, you must know how the machine operates. Use this part of the manual to identify each control lever, switch, gauge, button and pedal. Do not guess, if there is anything you do not understand, ask your JCB dealer. Name and Address of the Manufacturer JCB Compact Products Limited, Harewood Estate, Leek Road, Cheadle, Stoke On Trent, United Kingdom, ST10 2JU Product Compliance Your JCB product was designed to comply with the laws and regulations applicable at the time of its manufacture for the market in which it was first sold.
In many markets, laws and regulations exist that require the owner to maintain the product at a level of compliance relevant to the product when first produced. Even in the absence of defined requirements for the product owner, JCB recommend that the product compliance be maintained to ensure safety of the operator and exposed persons and to ensure the correct environmental performance. Your product must not be altered in any way which could affect or invalidate any of these requirements. For advice consult your JCB dealer.
For its compliance as a new product, your JCB and some of its components may bear approval numbers and marking's, and may have been supplied with a Declaration/Certificate of Conformity. These marking's and documents are relevant only for the country/region in which the product was first sold to the extent that the laws and regulations required them. Re-sales and import/export of products across territories with different laws and regulations can cause new requirements to become relevant for which the product was not originally designed or specified.
In some cases, pre owned products irrespective of their age are considered new for the purposes of compliance and may be required to meet the latest requirements which could present an insurmountable barrier to their sale/use. Despite the presence of any compliance related marking's on the product and components, you should not assume that compliance in a new market will be possible. In many cases it is the person responsible for import of a pre owned product into a market that becomes responsible for compliance and who is also considered the manufacturer.
JCB may be unable to support any product compliance related enquiry for a product which has been moved out of the legislative country/region where it was first sold, and in particular where a product specification change or additional certification would have been required in order for the product to be in compliance. 7 9821/6100-4 7
