Introduction
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
Handbook, are carried out by an approved JCB Distributor
at the recommended intervals.
Maintenance
This section of the Handbook gives full details of the service
requirements necessary to maintain your JCB machine at
peak efficiency.
To further protect your machine's performance it is essential
your JCB Distributor carries out an initial service and
inspection when the machine is one month old or when it
has completed 100 hours of operation (whichever occurs
first). You should notify your Distributor in advance to allow
the necessary arrangements to be made.
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.
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
completely satisfied with your new JCB machine. If you do
encounter a problem however, you should contact your
Distributor's Service Department who are there to help you!
You will have been given the names of the relevant service
contacts at your Distributor when the machine was installed.
To get the most from your Distributor please help them to
satisfy you by:
1 Giving your name, address and telephone number.
2 Quoting your machine model and serial number.
3 Date of purchase and hours of work.
4 Nature of the problem.
Remember, only your JCB Distributor has access to the vast
resources available at JCB to help support you. In addition,
your Distributor is able to offer a variety of programmes
covering Warranty, Fixed Price Servicing, Safety
Inspections, including weight tests, covering both legal and
insurance requirements:
Service/Maintenance Agreements
To help plan and spread the costs of maintaining your
machine, we strongly recommend you take advantage of the
many Service and Maintenance Agreements your Distributor
can offer. These can be tailor made to meet your operating
conditions, work schedule etc.
Please consult your JCB Distributor for details.
Lifting Regulations - Inspections and Tests
Only your JCB Distributor can fully meet the requirements of
the inspection and test parameters to suit UK Health &
Safety Executive (H.S.E.) legal requirements along with
providing Annual Inspections to meet your Insurance
Company Policy conditions.
