Maintenance
Introduction
General
Your machine has been designed and built to give maximum performance, economy and ease of use under a
wide variety of operating conditions. Prior to delivery, your machine was inspected both at the factory and by
your dealer to make sure that it reaches you in optimum condition. To maintain this condition and trouble free
operation it is important that the routine services, as specified in this manual, are done by an approved JCB
dealer at the recommended specified intervals and it is recommended that this is done by an approved JCB
dealer using genuine JCB parts. Servicing/repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel or the use of non-
genuine inferior quality parts could limit machine warranty.
This section of the manual gives full details of the service requirements necessary to maintain your JCB
machine at peak efficiency. A service manual for your machine is available from your JCB dealer. The service
manual contains information on how to repair, disassemble and assemble your machine correctly.
It can be seen from the service schedules on the following pages that many essential service checks must only
be done by a JCB trained specialist competent person. Only JCB dealer service engineers have been trained
by JCB to do such specialist tasks, and only JCB dealer service engineers are equipped with the necessary
special tools and test equipment to do such tasks, thoroughly, safely, accurately and efficiently.
After completing any routine maintenance or repairs you must complete the functional checks according to the
maintenance schedule.
JCB regularly updates its dealers to advise them of any machine developments, changes in specifications and
procedures. Therefore only a JCB dealer is fully able which makes them best placed to maintain and service
your machine.
A service record sheet or book is provided which will enable you to plan your service requirements and keep a
service history record. It must be dated, signed and stamped by your dealer each time your machine is serviced.
Remember, if your machine has been correctly maintained, not only will it give you improved reliability but its
resale value will be greatly enhanced.
When the machine is removed from service, local regulations for machine decommissioning and disposal will
vary. Contact your nearest JCB dealer for further information.
