Part of the JCB Operator Manuals.
This is the JCB operator manual for the 406, 407 and 409 wheeled loaders with the Kohler engine, publication number 9821-9350-5, running to 228 pages in English. It is the handbook that stays with the machine and explains how to run and look after it correctly.
The manual covers safe operation, seat belts and cab entry, moving and storing a disabled machine, and full routine maintenance with fluids, lubricants and capacities. You also get tyre sizes and pressures, stopping distances, noise and vibration data, the machine service record and the EC declaration of conformity.
It is written for owners and operators rather than for a repair shop, so it focuses on daily checks, service schedules and the specifications you need to keep a 406, 407 or 409 working safely. Download it as a PDF and keep a copy in the cab.
