Introduction
This publication is designed for the benefit of JCB Distributor Service Engineers who are receiving, or have received, training
by JCB Technical Training Department.
It is assumed that these personnel have a sound knowledge of workshop practice, safety procedures, and general techniques
associated with the maintenance and repair of hydraulic earthmoving equipment. Therefore these basic subjects generally are
omitted from this manual, the intention being to convey only more specialised information concerning particular aspects of a
machine or component.
For example, renewal of oil seals, gaskets, etc., and any component showing obvious signs of wear or damage is expected as
a matter of course, and therefore information of this nature is included only in the context of specialised procedures or where a
range of wear tolerances is required. Similarly, it is expected that components will be cleaned and lubricated where
appropriate, also that any opened hose or pipe connections will be blanked to prevent excessive loss of hydraulic fluid and
ingress of dirt.
For convenience this manual is compiled in sections, e.g. "Hydraulics", "Electrics", etc. but, to find details of a specific
component, reference should be made to the alphabetical index at the back of the book.
Illustrations which show a dismantled component are numbered as a guide to the dismantling sequence, which generally can
be reversed for assembly.
Torque settings are given as a 'mean' figure which 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. Where no figure is quoted in the text, refer to page 1/1 - 3.
'Left Hand' and 'Right Hand' are as viewed from the rear of the machine looking forward.
! WARNING
Asbestos
Asbestos dust can damage your lungs. Some engine joints
and gaskets may contain asbestos. Take the following
precautions when working on them.
1 Wear a face mask and gloves.
2 Work in a well ventilated area and do not smoke.
3 Do not use a rotary wire brush, use a hand scraper.
4 Make sure the material to be removed is wet with oil or
water to contain loose particles.
5 Place all material into plastic bags and dispose in
accordance with local regulations.
GEN-1-8
! WARNING
Fluoroelastomeric Materials
Certain seals and gaskets (e.g. crankshaft oil seal) on JCB
machines contain fluoroelastomeric materials such as Viton,
Fluorel and Technoflon. Fluoroelastomeric materials
subjected to high temperatures can produce highly corrosive
hydrofluoric acid. THIS ACID CAN SEVERELY BURN.
New fluoroelastomeric components at ambient temperature
require no special safety precautions.
Used fluoroelastomeric components whose temperatures
have not exceeded 300°C require no special safety
precautions. If evidence of decomposition (e.g. charring) is
found, refer to the next paragraph for safety instructions DO
NOT TOUCH COMPONENT OR SURROUNDING AREA.
Used fluoroelastomeric components subjected to
temperatures greater than 300°C (e.g. engine fire) must be
treated using the following safety procedure. Make sure that
heavy duty gloves and special safety glasses are worn:
1 Ensure that components have cooled then remove and
place material into plastic bags.
2 Thoroughly wash contaminated area with 10% calcium
hydroxide or other suitable alkali solution, if necessary
use wire wool to remove burnt remains.
3 Thoroughly wash contaminated area with detergent and
water.
4 Contain all removed material, gloves etc. used in this
operation in sealed plastic bags and dispose of in
accordance with Local Authority Regulations.
DO NOT BURN FLUOROELASTOMERIC MATERIALS.
If contamination of skin or eyes occurs, wash the affected
area with a continuous supply of clean water or with calcium
hydroxide solution for 15-60 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.

Colour Coding
The following colour coding, used on illustrations to denote various conditions of oil pressure and flow, is standardised
throughout JCB Service publications.

Full Pressure
Pressure generated from operation of a service. Depending on application this may
be anything between neutral circuit pressure and M.R.V. operating pressure.
Pressure
Pressure that is above neutral circuit pressure but lower than that denoted by red.
Servo
Oil pressure used in controlling a device (servo).
Neutral
Neutral circuit pressure.
Exhaust
Cavitation
Oil subjected to a partial vacuum due to a drop in pressure (cavitation).
Lock Up
Oil trapped within a chamber or line, preventing movement of components (lock up).

FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS, CAPACITIES AND SPECIFICATIONS
(525-58, 67, 527-58, 67, 530-95)
Note: New engines DO NOT require a running-in period. The engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle
immediately; glazing of the piston cylinder bores, resulting in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the engine is gently run-
in. Under no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods; (e.g. warming up without load). Engines
of new machines are filled at the factory with JCB 10W/30 Multigrade oil. This oil should be drained after the first 100 hours
operation and the engine filled with the appropriate recommended grade as shown in the lubrication chart. JCB 10W/30
Multigrade should also be used for the first 100 hours operation whenever a new or reconditioned engine is fitted to the
machine. After the first 100 hours operation, it is essential that the 10W/30 oil is replaced by the lubricant recommended below.

Extend the boom to uncover the inner surfaces as required, refit the boom rear cover.
With the boom fully extended apply Waxoyl evenly over surfaces A. Allow 2-3 hours drying time before retracting the boom.
Apply Slide lubricant to inner hoses and hose runs.
The illustration shown is a 3 stage boom but the procedure applies to all machines.

! CAUTION
Waxoyl contains turpentine
substitute, which is flammable. Keep
flames away when applying Waxoyl.
Waxoyl can take a few weeks to dry
completely. Keep flames away
during the drying period.
Do not weld near the affected area
