JCB 406, 409 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 406 engine will not start or repeatedly stalls after a cold startup p. 135
Inspect the primary fuel filter bowl for water and sediment. Drain any contamination and tighten the bowl a further quarter of a turn as shown on page 135. Prime the fuel system to remove air and verify the 80 Litres fuel tank has sufficient diesel.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceHydraulic functions become weak, slow, or completely unresponsive during bucket operation p. 151
Check the hydraulic oil level and inspect hoses for damage. Replace the hydraulic filter if needed, ensuring you torque the hydraulic filter cap to 40 Nm as detailed on page 151. Maintain the total system capacity of 70 Litres to prevent aeration and sluggish response.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceEngine overheats or coolant temperature gauge rises rapidly under a heavy working load p. 98
Clean the engine cooling system and radiator pack to remove restricted airflow from packed debris. Perform this regular cleaning interval every 100 hours as specified on page 98. Check the coolant reservoir level and inspect the entire engine bay for heavy dust accumulation blocking the fan.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceFrequent fuse blowing or cab heater fan cutting out unexpectedly during daily operation p. 136
Inspect the wiring harness for damaged insulation or grounded shorts before replacing any blown fuses. Verify the secondary fuse for the brake lights on page 136 is correctly sized at 7.5A. Never install a higher amperage rating to bypass a recurring electrical fault in the cab.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceLoader operates with reduced stability or tire sidewalls bulge under a heavy load p. 159
Measure all tyre pressures using a calibrated gauge and inspect the sidewalls for cuts. Verify the wheel nuts are completely secure and tighten them to a torque of 450 Nm as shown on page 159. Keep the cab heater filter clean to maintain safe visibility.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceFrequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for primary fuel filter?
To replace the fuel filter, unscrew the old filter element and fill the new element with the recommended fuel, referring to Fluids, Lubricants and Capacities (page 93). Lubricate the sealing ring with clean fuel, screw the filter on until the seal contacts the filter head, and then tighten the bowl a further quarter of a turn.
What are the replacement specifications for secondary fuel filter?
For the sedimenter bowl, which contains a filter element, remove the old filter element and install a new one. Ensure the gasket is in good condition and position. Attach the bowl onto the bolt until the seal contacts the filter head, then turn the bowl a further quarter of a turn, but do not over-tighten.
