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. The figure quoted is TOTAL system capacity. Use the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick when filling the system. Figures quoted within ±0.5 litre (0.11 U.K. gal).

Note:
The figure quoted is TOTAL system capacity. Use the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick when filling the
system. Figures quoted within ±1.0 litre (0.22 U.K. gal).
∃
Note:
The total hydraulic system capacity depends on the equipment being used. Fill with all rams closed. Watch level
indicator on hydraulic tank.

Note:
JCB HP Grease is the recommended specification grease, if using JCB Special MPL-EP then the greasing must
be carried out more frequently.

WARNING:
Waxoyl contains turpentine substitute, which is inflammable. 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 during the drying period. Take the same precautions as for oil to keep Waxoyl off your skin. Do not
breathe the fumes. Apply in a well-ventilated area.

Coolant Mixtures
!
WARNING
Antifreeze can be harmful. Obey the manufacturers instructions when handling neat or diluted antifreeze.
7-3-4-4
The protection provided by JCB Four Seasons Antifreeze and Summer Coolant is shown below. If any other anti-freeze is
used, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that a corrosion inhibitor is included. DO NOT use solutions of
more than 60% or less than 50% or damage to the cooling system will occur.
55% Solution -
Maintains circulation down to -36 deg C (-33 degF), protects against damage down to -41 deg C (-42 degF)
The strength of the anti-freeze solution must be checked at least once a year, preferably at the beginning of the cold period.
It is an advantage to leave the anti-freeze in all the year round as it gives continued protection against corrosion. Always
renew the anti-freeze every two years. A 50% anti-freeze mixture must be used even if frost protection is not needed. This
gives protection against corrosion and raises the coolants boiling point.
It should be noted that serious damage to the cooling system can occur if corrosion inhibitors are not used.
