Routine Maintenance
Service Requirements
Introduction
T3-002
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
Distributor to ensure that it reaches you in optimum
condition. To maintain this condition and ensure trouble
free operation it is important that the routine services, as
specified in this Manual, are carried out by an approved
JCB Distributor at the recommended intervals.
This section of the Manual gives full details of the service
requirements necessary to maintain your JCB machine at
peak efficiency.
It can be seen from the Service Schedules on the following
pages that many essential service checks should only be
carried out by a JCB trained specialist. Only JCB
Distributor Service Engineers have been trained by JCB to
carry out such specialist tasks, and only JCB Distributor
Service Engineers are equipped with the necessary
special tools and test equipment to perform such tasks,
thoroughly, safely, accurately and efficiently.
JCB regularly updates its Distributors advising them of any
product developments, changes in specifications and
procedures. Therefore only a JCB Distributor is fully able
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 should be dated, signed and
stamped by your Distributor 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.
Owner/Operator Support
JCB together with your Distributor wants you to be
