There's no time to waste on-site, so a JCB telehandler is quick to start up in six simple steps:
Insert the battery isolator key: push and turn it 90 degrees to wake up the machine.
Disarm the immobiliser: if this is installed on your machine, enter your code followed by 'enter'.
Set to neutral: move the forward to reverse lever into the neutral position.
Insert the key: push directly into the ignition switch.
Start the machine: turn the ignition key to the start position and hold it there until you hear the engine fire up.
Test the hydraulics: operate each hydraulic function to make sure they're all working correctly and help warm up the system.
Following these steps will make sure you always start your machine up safely - and it's also a good idea to quickly inspect the machine and interior to make sure nothing is damaged.
