Oil Immersed Brakes
The axle oil is used to lubricate the brake components, and
to cool the brake plates.
It is important that the oil is changed regularly as specified
in the service schedule - the lubricating properties of the oil
will reduce as a result of brake wear.
Consult your JCB Distributor for advice if necessary.
Checking the Hub Oil Levels
T3-011_2
Check each hub separately.
1 Park the machine on level ground with the OIL LEVEL
mark horizontal. There is a tolerance of 5 mm (0.2 in)
above or below the horizontal.
2 Engage the park brake. Set the transmission to
neutral. Lower the attachments to the ground. Stop
the engine and remove the starter key.
3 Clean the area around the fill/level plug 121-C.
Remove the plug. Oil should be level with the bottom
of the hole. If necessary, add the recommended oil.
Clean the plug before refitting it.
