Using the Service Manual
T11-004
This publication is designed for the benefit of JCB
Distributor Service Engineers who are receiving, or have
received, training by JCB Technical Training Department.
These personnel should have a sound knowledge of
workshop practice, safety procedures, and general
techniques associated with the maintenance and repair of
hydraulic earthmoving equipment.
The illustrations in this publication are for guidance only.
Where the machines differ, the text and/or the illustration
will specify.
General warnings in Section 2 are repeated throughout the
manual, as well as specific warnings. Read all safety
statements regularly, so you do not forget them.
Renewal of oil seals, gaskets, etc., and any component
showing obvious signs of wear or damage is expected as
a matter of course. It is expected that components will be
cleaned and lubricated where appropriate, and that any
opened hose or pipe connections will be blanked to
prevent excessive loss of hydraulic fluid and ingress of dirt.
Where a torque setting is given as a single figure it may be
varied by plus or minus 3%. Torque figures indicated are
for dry threads, hence for lubricated threads may be
reduced by one third.
The manufacturer's policy is one of continuous
improvement. The right to change the specification of the
machine without notice is reserved. No responsibility will
be accepted for discrepancies which may occur between
specifications of the machine and the descriptions
contained in this publication.
Finally, please remember above all else safety must come
first!

Identifying Your Machine
Machine Identification Plate
Your machine has an identification plate mounted as
shown. The serial numbers of the machine and its major
units are stamped on the plate.
Note: The machine model and build specification is
indicated by the PIN. Refer to Typical Product
Identification Number (PIN).
The serial number of each major unit is also stamped on
the unit itself. If a major unit is replaced by a new one, the
serial number on the identification plate will be wrong.
Either stamp the new number of the unit on the
identification plate, or simply stamp out the old number.
This will prevent the wrong unit number being quoted when
replacement parts are ordered.
The machine and engine serial numbers can help identify
exactly the type of equipment you have.

!MWARNING
Do not use the machine if the falling objects protection
level provided by the structure is not sufficient for the
application. Falling objects can cause serious injury.
8-2-8-17
If the machine is used in any application where there is a
risk of falling objects then a falling-objects protective
structure (FOPS) must be installed. For further information
contact your JCB Dealer
The falling objects protection structure (FOPS) is fitted with
a dataplate. The dataplate indicates what level protection
the structure provides.
There are two levels of FOPS:
– Level I Impact Protection - impact strength for
protection from small falling objects (e.g. bricks, small
concrete blocks, hand tools) encountered in
operations such as highway maintenance,
landscaping and other construction site services.
– Level II Impact Protection - impact strength for
protection from heavy falling objects (e.g. trees,
rocks) for machines involved in site clearing,
overhead demolition or forestry.

Zinc Plated Fasteners and Dacromet Fasteners
T11-002
Introduction
Some external fasteners on JCB machines are
manufactured using an improved type of corrosion
resistant finish. This type of finish is called Dacromet and
replaces the original Zinc and Yellow Plating used on
earlier machines.
The two types of fasteners can be readily identified by
colour and part number suffix. K Table 1. Fastener Types
( T 1-5).
Table 1. Fastener Types
Note: As the Dacromet fasteners have a lower torque
setting than the Zinc and Yellow fasteners, the torque
figures used must be relevant to the type of fastener.
Note: A Dacromet bolt should not be used in conjunction
with a Zinc or Yellow plated nut, as this could change the
torque characteristics of the torque setting further. For the
same reason, a Dacromet nut should not be used with a
Zinc or Yellow plated bolt.
Note: All bolts used on JCB machines are high tensile and
must not be replaced by bolts of a lesser tensile
specification.
Note: Dacromet bolts, due to their high corrosion
resistance are used in areas where rust could occur.
Dacromet bolts are only used for external applications.
They are not used in applications such as gearbox or
engine joint seams or internal applications.
Bolts and Screws
Use the following torque setting tables only where no
torque setting is specified in the text.
Note: Dacromet fasteners are lubricated as part of the
plating process, do not lubricate.
Torque settings are given for the following conditions:
Condition 1
– Un-lubricated fasteners
– Zinc fasteners
– Yellow plated fasteners
Condition 2
– Zinc flake (Dacromet) fasteners
– Lubricated zinc and yellow plated fasteners
– Where there is a natural lubrication. For example,
cast iron components
Verbus Ripp Bolts

Torque settings for these bolts are determined by the
application. Refer to the relevant procedure for the
required settings.

Moving a Disabled Machine
Introduction
P4-2025
The machine can be lifted onto a trailer for transportation.
However, you must contact the nearest JCB Dealer before
you try to tow, winch or push the machine. Towing,
winching or pushing the machine without following the
correct procedure can damage the transmission. If
possible, repair the disabled machine where it stands.
It is not recommended to tow a disabled machine. If the
machine becomes disabled, the machine must be made
safe, lifted onto a transporter and moved to a location
where maintenance can be carried out. If towing the
machine to a safe location is unavoidable, do the
procedure that follows before you try to move the machine.
Preparation for Towing
!MCAUTION
Towing a machine too far or too fast can damage the
transmission. Do not tow the machine further than 10
Km (6 miles). Use a trailer for greater distances. When
towing do not travel faster than 16 km/h (10 mph).
Use a rigid towbar. If you must use towing chains, then
use two vehicles, One towing vehicle should be
coupled to the front of the disabled machine. The other
towing vehicle should be couple to the rear of the
disabled machine, to provide braking power.
The towing vehicle(s) must have enough pulling and
braking power to move and stop the machine.
4-2-5-4_2
1 Disengage the park brake.
2 Set the transmission to neutral.
3 Prepare the loader arm:
a If the engine and hydraulic systems are not
damaged, lift the shovel to 900mm (3ft) above the
ground, then fully 'crowd' the shovel. The machine
in this position can have a straight-pull from the
recovery point.
b If the engine does not work, use the applicable
equipment to lift the shovel to 900mm (3ft) above
the ground and crowd the shovel. Secure the
shovel in position.
Note: The procedure for preparing the loader arm will
depend on the condition of the machine and its hydraulic
circuits. For this reason you should contact your JCB
Dealer for help and advice before you do this task.
4 Attach the drawbar (or chain) to the front chassis side
plate hole (left or right).
5 Attach the chain to the recovery hitch (if chains are
used).
Front recovery hitch A.
Rear recovery hitch B. (The rear chassis lift points)
The machine is now ready for towing. Make sure you
understand what the towing driver will be doing. Obey his
instructions and all relevant regulations.
The retrieval points are shown in K Fig 59. ( T 1-35).
If the steering wheel has to be turned when the machine is
disabled and the engine is stopped, push and hold the
Secondary Steer System switch. Refer to Switches.
When the steering wheel is turned, the pump is heard
running and the articulation of the chassis is felt. Test the
switch once a month.
Note: The full operation of the steering system is only
achieved when the machine is moving.
The machines retrieval points conform to ISO:10532, refer
to this standard to obtain a particular machines permissible
forces.
