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.
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. Finally, please remember above all
else SAFETY MUST COME FIRST!
The manual is compiled in sections, the first three are numbered and contain information as follows:
1=General Information - includes torque settings and service tools.
2=Care & Safety - includes warnings and cautions pertinent to aspects of workshop procedures etc.
3=Routine Maintenance - includes service schedules and recommended lubricants for all the
machine.
The remaining sections are alphabetically coded and deal with Dismantling, Overhaul etc. of specific components, for
example:
A=Attachments
B=Body & Framework...etc.
The page numbering in each alphabetically coded section is not continuous. This allows for the insertion of new items in later
issues of the manual.
Section contents, technical data, circuit descriptions, operation descriptions etc are inserted at the beginning of each
alphabetically coded section.
All sections are listed on the front cover; tabbed divider cards align directly with individual sections on the front cover for rapid
reference.
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.
With the exception of slewing operations 'Left Hand' and 'Right Hand' are as viewed from the rear of the machine facing
forwards.
Machine Nomenclature
In this Service Manual, reference is made to machine models, e.g. 3CX, 4CX, these are European machine model names.
North American machine models have different names, the table below shows the European and the equivalent North
American nomenclature.

Machine Identification Plate
Your machine has an identification plate mounted on the
loader tower. The serial numbers of the machine and its
major units are stamped on the plate.
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.

Tyres and Wheels
Tyre Inflation
These instructions are for adding air to a tyre which is
already inflated. If the tyre has lost all its air pressure, call in
a qualified tyre mechanic. The tyre mechanic should use a
tyre inflation cage and the correct equipment to do the job.
! WARNING
An exploding tyre can kill, inflated tyres can explode if
overheated. Do not cut or weld the rims. Use a
tyre/wheel specialist for all repair work.
2-3-2-7
1Prepare the Wheel
Before you add air to the tyre, make sure it is correctly
fitted on the machine or installed in a tyre inflation cage.
2Prepare the Equipment
Use only an air supply system which includes a
pressure regulator. Set the regulator no higher than
1.38 bar (20 psi) above the recommended tyre
pressure. See Section F, Technical Data for
recommended tyres and pressures for your machine.

Checking the Wheel Nut Torques
On new machines, and whenever a wheel has been
removed, check the wheel nut torques every two hours until
they stay correct.
Every day, before starting work, check that the wheel nuts
are tight.
The correct torques are shown in the table below.

It is most important that you read and understand this
information and the publications referred to. Make sure
all your colleagues who are concerned with lubricants
read it too.
Lubricants - Health and Safety
Hygiene
JCB lubricants are not a health risk when used properly for
their intended purposes.
However, excessive or prolonged skin contact can remove
the natural fats from your skin, causing dryness and
irritation.
Low viscosity oils are more likely to do this, so take special
care when handling used oils, which might be diluted with
fuel contamination.
Whenever you are handling oil products you should maintain
good standards of care and personal and plant hygiene. For
details of these precautions we advise you to read the
relevant publications issued by your local health authority,
plus the following.
1 - 6
2Apply a barrier cream to the skin before handling used
oil.
3Note the following when removing engine oil from skin:
a Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water.
b Using a nail brush will help.
c Use special hand cleansers to help clean dirty
hands.
d Never use petrol, diesel fuel, or paraffin for washing.
4Avoid skin contact with oil soaked clothing.
5Don't keep oily rags in pockets.
6Wash dirty clothing before re-use.
7Throw away oil-soaked shoes.
First Aid - Oil
Storage
Always keep lubricants out of the reach of children.
Never store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.
Waste Disposal
All waste products should be disposed of in accordance
with all the relevant regulations.
The collection and disposal of used oil should be in
accordance with any local regulations. Never pour used
engine oil into sewers, drains or on the ground.
Handling
New Oil.
There are no special precautions needed for the handling or
use of new oil, beside the normal care and hygiene
practices.
Used Oil.
Used engine crankcase lubricants contain harmful
contaminants.
Eyes.
In the case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes. If
irritation persists, get medical attention.
Swallowing.
If oil is swallowed do not induce vomiting. Get medical
advice.
Skin.
In the case of excessive skin contact, wash with soap and
water.
Spillage
Absorb on sand or a locally approved brand of absorbent
granules. Scrape up and remove to a chemical disposal
area.
Fires
Extinguish with carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam. Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus.
Here are precautions to protect your health when handling
used engine oil:
1Avoid prolonged, excessive or repeated skin contact
with used oil.
