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!
Section Numbering
T11-005
The manual is compiled in sections, the first three are
numbered and contain information as follows:
The remaining sections are alphabetically coded and deal
with Dismantling, Overhaul etc. of specific components, for
example:
Section contents, technical data, circuit descriptions,
operation descriptions etc. are inserted at the beginning of
each alphabetically coded section.
1 General Information - includes torque settings and
service tools.
2 Care and Safety - includes warnings and cautions
pertinent to aspects of workshop procedures etc.
3 Maintenance - includes service schedules and
recommended lubricants for all the machine.
