JCB 135–205 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 135 skid steer loader attachment response is sluggish and auxiliary hydraulic flow feels weak under load p. 263
Check the hydraulic oil level on the sight glass before operation. Verify the auxiliary standard flow reaches 70L/min as outlined on page 263. Inspect hydraulic hoses for visible damage and ensure the hydraulic tank is filled to the 26L capacity.
Manual Section: Technical DataEngine compartment emits a loud squealing noise during cold starts or when operating under heavy load p. 206
Inspect the drive belt condition and measure the tension movement limit before starting the engine. Adjust the belt so deflection is less than 7mm as specified on page 206. Torque the alternator belt adjustment bolt to exactly 40N·m using a calibrated torque wrench.
Manual Section: MaintenanceCompact track loader undercarriage vibrates excessively and rubber track feels loose during hard ground operation p. 253
Clean packed mud from the undercarriage components and measure the track droop at the center roller. Adjust the grease cylinder to achieve a maximum track tension of 35mm for hard ground conditions as shown on page 253. Avoid over-tensioning the tracks.
Manual Section: Technical DataMachine pulls to one side during travel and steering feels heavy on paved surfaces p. 252
Measure tire pressures across all four wheels before the first shift of the day while the rubber is cold. Inflate the 7x15, 14 Ply tires to exactly 3.8 bar (55 psi) according to the specifications on page 252. Inspect tire treads for uneven wear patterns.
