  2. Check or ask JCB mini excavators’ dealer before use. Look at the tires for damage or low tread. Ensure the brakes work well. Test the lights and wipers to see clearly. Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks or damage. Make sure the machine’s controls are working properly. Look under the machine for oil or water leaks. Check the battery to ensure it’s charged. Make sure the cabin is clean and dry.

  3. Adjust the Operating Speed Drive slower on wet surfaces. Fast speeds can make the machine slip. Slower speeds give you more control. Avoid sudden stops or starts. Reduce speed when turning or on slopes. Give yourself extra space to stop. Slow down when visibility is poor. Driving too fast can damage the machine. Make sure you can stop safely in time.

  4. Use the Right Tires for Wet Conditions Choose tires made for wet or muddy ground. Tires with deep treads work better in slippery conditions. Check tire pressure regularly. Worn-out tires can reduce grip and cause slipping. Use all-terrain or agricultural tires if possible. Ensure the tires are clean and free of mud or debris. Check for any tire damage before use. Tires with good traction help keep the machine steady.

  5. Make sure traction control is turned on. Traction control helps the machine stay stable. It reduces slipping by managing wheel spin. Check the machine’s settings before starting. Traction control is useful on slippery ground. It helps distribute power evenly to all wheels. Don’t turn off traction control in wet conditions. Make sure the system is working properly. Traction control prevents the machine from losing grip. It makes driving safer on wet or muddy surfaces. Returns

  6. Move slowly and steadily. Avoid jerky or sudden movements. Make turns gently, not sharply. Stop and start the machine slowly. Smooth actions help keep the machine steady. Fast or sharp movements can cause slipping. Use the controls gently to avoid spinning wheels. Take your time when moving over wet ground. Sudden movements can damage the machine. Controlled movements help you stay in control.

  7. Avoid Sudden Braking Don’t brake hard or suddenly. Sudden braking can make the machine skid. Gradually press the brake for a smooth stop. Give yourself extra distance to stop. Wet surfaces make it harder to stop quickly. Abrupt stops can damage the machine. Always slow down before braking. If you need to stop, do it gently. Keep a safe distance from other machines or obstacles. Avoid rushing, take your time to stop safely.

  8. Monitor the Weather and Environmental Conditions Always check the weather before working. Rain, snow, or fog can make things slippery. Wet ground is harder to drive on. If the weather worsens, stop and reassess. Be aware of changing conditions throughout the day. If it starts raining heavily, be extra cautious. Strong winds can make driving difficult and unsafe. If the weather makes it dangerous, wait for better conditions. Keep an eye on the forecast for updates.

  9. Use Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) When Possible Turn on four-wheel drive (4WD) when needed. 4WD helps the machine stay stable on slippery ground. It sends power to all four wheels for better traction. Use 4WD on mud, snow, or wet terrain. 4WD helps prevent the machine from getting stuck. Check if 4WD is working properly before using it. Turn off 4WD when driving on solid, dry ground to save fuel. 4WD makes it easier to climb slopes or rough ground. Always switch to 4WD when the ground is slippery.

  10. Ensure Clear Visibility As per a JCB skid steer loader dealer, keep the windows clean to see clearly. Make sure the wipers are working well. Check the lights and make sure they are bright. Clean the mirrors so you can see all around. In rain, turn on the headlights for better visibility. If visibility is poor, slow down and be extra careful. Use extra lighting if it’s dark or foggy. Clear any water or mud from the windows and lights. Make sure the cabin is dry and free from fog.
