JCB 210X, 220X Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 210X or 220X excavator starts but hydraulic controls remain completely unresponsive. p. 70
Raise the controls isolation lever to enable the system as shown on page 70. Push the controls isolation switch immediately after raising the lever. Perform the 10 hours daily maintenance check, inspecting hydraulic hoses for ballooned outer covers or displaced fittings per page 235.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System MalfunctionsClunking noise from undercarriage while tramming and loose tracks visible on the idler side. p. 277
Measure the track droop to ensure minimum track tension is exactly 30mm. If the tension is out of spec, adjust the grease cylinder. Verify track shoe bolts are secure using a calibrated wrench to apply 840 to 890 Nm tightening torque as detailed on page 277.
Manual Section: Track System IssuesEngine derate warning flashing on the monitor accompanied by a severe lack of power. p. 270
Check the fluid capacities chart on page 270 and fill the DEF tank to its 47.7L capacity. Verify the engine oil level is near the 20.4L mark. Drain any water or deposits from the fuel system to restore normal engine speed variation.
Manual Section: Engine Emissions Control System (SCR/DEF)Rattling noise coming from the operator protective structure during heavy digging or traveling. p. 211
Inspect the mounting hardware for the operator protective structure. Check all ROPS mounting bolts and tighten any that are loose to the torque value specified in the manual. Inspect the frame-mounted FOGS hardware and tighten any loose bolts to the specification given in the manual.
Manual Section: Operator Protective Structure DamageFrequently Asked Questions
How do I clear an immobiliser or PIN error on a JCB 210X/220X?
To clear an immobiliser or PIN error, you must enter the correct four-digit security code using the switch panel on the right-hand console. If an incorrect security code is entered five times, the immobiliser system will lock for 15 minutes, during which the ignition must be left on for the timer to expire.
Why won’t my JCB 210X/220X hydraulics activate after startup?
If your JCB 210X/220X hydraulics won't activate after startup, ensure the controls isolation lever is raised to enable the controls. If the controls isolation lever was previously lowered to isolate the controls, raising it will enable them. Alternatively, if the controls isolation switch was used to isolate, push it a second time to enable the controls.
What does the error code on a JCB 210X/220X display mean?
The JCB 210X/220X display shows various icons to indicate machine status and potential issues. For example, an amber engine malfunction icon indicates a warning, while a red engine malfunction icon signifies a critical fault. Other icons include "SCR plugged (red icon)", "Engine shutdown (red icon)", and "Engine low power due to low DEF level".
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic hoses?
Hydraulic hoses on the JCB 210X/220X should be replaced with new ones of the same size and standard. Routine replacement of the hydraulic pump inlet hose is recommended every 2 years or 4000 hours, whichever occurs first. For the full list of safety-critical hose replacement intervals, refer to the maintenance schedule in your manual.
