Powershift Gearbox
Changing the Oil and Filter
When draining JCB 760 Series Powershift gearboxes it is
recommended that the oil is drained through the cover plate
A
to make sure that the debris collected in the transmission
sump is flushed out. Draining oil through the sump plug will
filter oil through the strainer and not flush out the debris.
!
WARNING
Make the machine safe before getting beneath it. Lower
the attachments to the ground; engage the parking
brake; remove the starter key, disconnect the battery.
